- Ipsos interviewed a representative total sample of 2,026 British adults aged 15+
- Interviews were carried out face-to-face, in home, using CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing), as part of the Ipsos Capibus
- The sample design ensures that Capibus accurately reflects the GB population in terms of region and area types as well as informant demographics. In order to correct minor deviations, Capibus uses a rim weighting system which weights to NRS defined profiles for age, social grade, region and working status -- within gender
- Fieldwork was conducted between 17-23 November 2006
