Over 6000 people were interviewed over a full 12 month period. It includes people from all ages and backgrounds, who live in both the countryside and in towns. Interviews were conducted on every day of the week, and all weeks of the year, to take account of any season differences in participation. The survey is undertaken every three years, starting in 2008 followed by 2011 and 2014.
