Who is studied
The number of participants surveyed will be approximately 6,000 per season using CAWI. These are spread over a total of 6 waves per season, resulting in a sample size of 1,000 respondents per wave using CAWI. The study will target a disproportionate sample of the German population regarding age: 30% aged 18 years of age though and including 59 years of age and 70% aged 60 years of age and older. Within these age groups, the study targets a representative distribution regarding gender and region. This study is conducted as an online survey that will either be self-completed by the respondents (CAWI) or completed via an interviewer for a subgroup of respondents aged 70+ (CATI). The survey is estimated to last 10 minutes and will comprise of closed-ended questions only (i.e., respondents will not have the possibility to add any free-text). The survey will be conducted in German.
