Ett subsample drogs bland de som inte besvarade enkäten efter två påminnelser. Ungefär hälften av dem blev utvalda för telefonintervjuer, i enlighet med SCB:s praxis. Alla respondenter i stickprovet har tilldelats vikten 2,04. För att bevara representativiteten i stickprovet bör alla beräkningar göras med viktning. Viktvariabel = V9.
