The (only available) 2001 census of the National Statistical Service of Greece was used as the sampling frame. The multi-stage stratified sampling method was used to select the sample. The survey data was collected by means of telephone interviews and the use of a structured questionnaire, at the homes of the respondents. The field survey was conducted from 23 December 2010 to 18 January 2011. The survey team comprised 46 researchers and 2 supervisors.
