Who is studied
Population-based sample based on a national random probability sample from the administrative sample frame: all individuals aged 15 years or older on January 1, 2020, living in mainland France or one of three overseas departments (Martinique, Guadeloupe and Réunion Island). Due to the poor quality of the sampling frame, poor internet access and the use of multiple languages, two other overseas departments, French Guiana and Mayotte, were excluded from the study.
