Consumer participation in culture activities and events

Statistics 26 of 26

"The target population is non-institutionalized persons 15 years of age or older, living in the ten provinces.

The samples for most GSS cycles are selected using random digit dialing telephone methods and the interviews are conducted by telephone. Thus persons living in households without telephones cannot be interviewed. However, persons living in such households represent less than 2% of the target population. Interviews are not conducted by cellular telephone so persons with only cellular telephone service are also excluded; again, this group makes up a very small proportion of the population, less than 3%.

The questionnaire was designed based on qualitative testing (focus groups), pilot test and interviewer debriefing.

This is a sample survey with a cross-sectional design."
