The period included the training of the interviewers by the different fieldwork organisers, the conducting of the interviews and the collection and checking of the completed questionnaires.\n\nMethod of data collection\nThe data were collected by trained interviewers by means of personal interviews with scientifically drawn respondents.\n\nThe respondents were visited at home and the interviews were usually done after hours to ensure that the qualifying person was present.\n\nIf the qualifying respondent was not available but would be available during the period of the fieldwork, an appointment was made and the particular household was revisited. If the qualifying respondent was not available for the duration of the survey, the household was replaced with another one.\n\nThe questions were in Afrikaans and English in the questionnaire, were translated into the particular black languages of the survey area and the interviews were conducted in the language preferred by the respondents.","weight":"The data were weighted according to the adjusted 1991 population census data per population group per geographical region. The weighting corrects any bias in the sample data on age, gender and educational qualifications of each population group. Then two sets of weights were calculated for the population in general and for the age group of 18 years and older."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"DataFirst","affiliation":"University of Cape Town","email":"info@data1st.org","uri":"http:\/\/www.datafirst.uct.ac.za"}],"cit_req":"Use of the dataset must be acknowledged using a citation which would include:\n- the Identification of the Primary Investigator\n- the title of the survey (including country, acronym and year of implementation)\n- the survey reference number\n- the source and date of download\n\nExample:\n\n Human Sciences Research Council, South Africa.
