Sampling Procedure ![]() |
The sampling is based on the Infratest Telephone Master Sample (ITMS)
which was built up for this study and should lead to distortionless
samples (particularly to avoid the not-at-home bias). The ITMS is
conceived as a multistratified household sample on area basis with a
random sampling of the aim person in the household by
Schwedenschlüssel. The Random-Digit Dialing is carried out in
accordance with the ADM- standard (Gabler-Häder method). Distinctive
for this method is that the so-called ´random last two digits (RL2D)´
of the phone numbers isn´t converted in the context of an individual
samples but that this step of randomization is already implemented in
the context of the construction of the sampling basis. It guarantees
that also those telephone connections which aren´t listed in the
telephone directory are contained in the sampling basis and can be
drawn distortionlessly.
