The quantitative survey consisted of two independent samples:
• n= 1,091 low-income Jordanians (defined as those with less than 400JD of household income per month)
• n= 1,041 Syrian refugees living in Jordan
Quotas were used for both groups so the sample better represented available univariate population data in terms of geographic distribution, age and gender.

The quantitative interviews were carried out face-to-face using computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) between 11th and 25th of June 2016, and 15th July and 9th of August 2016.6 To ensure data quality, 29% of face-to-face interviews were accompanied by a supervisor, and call-backs were made to 43% of the sample to verify responses. The final data were not weighted since overall population data are unreliable and thus are not suitable for use as weighting targets. All interviews were conducted in Arabic by native speakers.
In addition to the quality control conducted during fieldwork, data cleaning was conducted after fieldwork was completed. This included checks for internal consistency, missing variables, blank variables, and outliers. Ipsos data storage is audited annually as part of our ISO 27001 and 20252 accreditations and is compatible with security accreditation.
