SUMMARY TABLE Target population Colombian citizens over 18 years old residing

anywhere within the national boundaries. Size of sample 1500 people Data Collection technique ´Face-to-face´ personal interviews in private homes. Margin of error +/-3.0 for data referring to the entire sample. Date of survey October 6th to October 29th, 2008 Field work was carried out between the sixth and the 29th of October, 2008. In order to collect the data, work groups were organized in the cities of Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena and Pasto, from where survey-takers travelled to reach every location in the sample. A personalized collection system was used, with in-house interviews as well as follow-up interviews over the telephone by supervisors to 20% of the homes sampled. The sampling framework used was the DANE map for each of the selected departments. The sampling was stratified and multi-tiered where, in stage one, municipalities from different areas of the country were identified; in stage two blocks, proportional to social strata and rural corrections, were selected, and in the final stage homes were selected randomly from within these segments. A total of 1500 households were interviewed, calculated to a level of confidence of 95% for estimates and an expected margin of error of +/- 3%. This sample size is representative at the regional and department level, but not at the municipal level. Table 1 shows the number of surveys applied in each of the municipalities visited. Tabla 1 .

CHILE

SUMMARY TABLE: CHILE Target population Chilean citizens 18 years or older residing in urban or

rural private homes. Size of Sample 1574 people Data Collection Technique Personal ‘Face-to-face’ interviews in private homes. Margin of Error +/- 2.9 for data referring to the whole sample Date of survey From November 3rd to December 3rd, 2008 SAMPLE DESIGN Universal: Population over 18 living in private households, urban and rural. 319 communes (n=342) 98,3% total population according to census figures. Sample of 1574 people (Mahalanobis-Deming Probabilistic.) No replacements and an estimate of 375 per region

• Northern Macro-Region: Regions 1, 2, 3 and 4 (n403) • Central Macro-Region: Regions 5, 6 and 7 (n383) • Southern Macro-Region: Regions 8, 9 and 10 (n393) • Metropolitan Macro-Region: Metropolitan Region (n395)

Maximum error by region: 5,5 Maximum sampling error: +/-2.9 % (95% confidence level).

Table with sampling error margins at a national confidence level of 95% To minimize errors: (a) Structured questionnaires were used and previously tested in approximately 50

interviews, 30 in urban areas and 20 in rural areas, prior to commencing definitive field work in order to avoid structural errors in their design or wording.

(b) Interviews were personal and took place at the subject’s own home. Interviews

were conducted by teams of trained survey takers (especially re-trained for this survey)

(c) Up to 4 attempts were made to complete each interview – the initial attempt and up to 3 follow-up visits if needed until the selected person for a particular household was located.

(d) After 4 failed attempts at an occupied household, it was marked as ´not taken´. (e) In order to maintain the probabilistic nature of the sample these cases were not

replaced. Rather, additional sub-samples, held as a reserve, were used to obtain the desired sample size for each Macro-region.

(f) Randomly selected unoccupied homes were not replaced for the reasons outlined

above. (g) Up to 30% of each survey taker’s work received oversight in the form of follow-up

visits. (h) 100% of questionnaires were submitted to manual editing to verify the internal

coherence of the answers and, in case of doubt, the appropriate measures were taken.

MEXICO

TECHNICAL SHEET Target Population Mexicans, 18 or older, residing in any state within the

national territory Sample Size 2400 people Data Collection Technique Personal ‘Face-to-face’ interviews in private homes Sample Error +/-2.0 for data referring to the entire sample Date of Survey August 13th to August 31st, 2008 A representative sample of the national population (18 or older and residing anywhere within the country) of 2400 interviewees was used. The size of the sample allowed us to analyze the results at both national and regional levels. Thus, the stratification of results by region was as follows: 1. Northern region: Baja California, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, Sonora and

Tamaulipas. 2. Southern region: Campeche, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and

Yucatán. 3. Central region: Aguascalientes, Baja California South, Colima, Distrito Federal

(Mexico City), Durango, Estado de Mexico (State of Mexico), Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Michoacán, Morelos, Nayarit, Puebla, Querétaro, San Luis PotoYes, Sinaloa, Tlaxcala, Veracruz and Zacatecas.

The size of the sample and the errors are distributed as follows:

Domain Sample size

Theoretical margin of

error North 730 +/- 3.7 South 480 +/- 4.5 Center 1180 +/- 2.9 National (entire sample) 2400 +/- 2.0

The electoral sections of the country as given by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) were considered as the reference sample structure and the updated data from the last federal election (2006) were incorporated. The electoral sections were used as the Primary Sampling Units (PSU) for the multiphase sampling model. At a first selection stage, the PSU were arranged by regions and states in terms of the number of voters registered in each one, to later generate a commencement seed at random to generate the first conglomerate of PSU. A systematic criterion was then applied to generate the other conglomerates until all the commencement points necessary to complete the sample were obtained. Ten interviews were made in each PSU selected. In the second phase of the sampling, 2 blocks (manzanas) of each electoral section were chosen; these blocks were used as Secondary Sampling Units (SSU). The number of interviews carried out in each SSU varied, depending on geographic conditions and urban distribution. The rural percentage in the sample was 27.8, that is 64 commencement points (640 interviews.) SSU’s were selected systematically in terms of household densities in each block of the neighborhoods and communities where the interviews were held. In order to reflect the variety of views within a single interview area special care was taken to ensure the SSM’s were far enough apart within their PSU’s. The third stage of sampling involved

10

the selection of households, or Tertiary Sampling Units (TSM), each of which was selected following a systematic method , in function with the household density in every SSU (block). In each TSU one single person who fulfilled the sampling requirements (of legal age and living in that household) was interviewed. The subjects were randomly selected and adjusted to quotas, using as a benchmark the population distribution figures by age and gender taken from the INEGI’s II Population and Household Census in 2005. Interviews took place from August 14th to September 6th, 2008. All interviews were held face-to-face in the homes selected during the sampling process. Only one interview per household was conducted. The average duration of each interview was 30 minutes . The interview process involved the participation of 38 survey takers, 10 fieldwork supervisors, 6 data coders, 8 data capture technicians, 2 analysts and one project manager. Coding, capturing and processing of the data took place between September 1st and September 30th, 2008. Estimates taken from the data base are weighted by age and gender, using as a benchmark the results of the INEGI 2005 count. National level results are weighted according to the population weight of each regional strata.

The provinces the interviews were held in gather together 49, 41% of Peru’s total population.

2.3. Date of Survey: Between September 5th and September 8th, 2008.

2.4. Sampling Framework::

In Metropolitan Lima and Callao blocks were selected using the 2004 INEI digital map for Metropolitan Lima’s 31 districts and Callao’s 6. Those districts which didn’t form part of the sampling Framework in Lima were: Chaclacayo, Lurigancho, Cieneguilla and the resort districts located north and south of the city. The 2005 INEI census map was used for fieldwork in provincial cities.

2.5. Size of Sample:

1.235 people interviewed with a margin of error: ±2,77% and a confidence level of 95%, assuming a 50%-50% rate of heterogeneity, under the assumption of simple random sampling.

2.6. Sampling procedure::

Sampling was probabilistic, multi-tiered and by conglomerates. In the first stage a computer-generated selection of sample blocks was made; in the second stage a selection of households was chosen through systematic sampling. In Metropolitan Lima and Callao, 8 surveys were taken per selected Primary Sampling Unit. In other cities within the country 5 surveys were taken per Sampling Unit. A systematic sampling of households was undertaken for every block following the procedures outlined below:

• The systematic or constant jump, obtained by dividing the total number of households in each block by the 8/5 surveys to be taken was calculated using a computer. This number determines the interval between selected homes in each block.

• A computer was used to calculate the Starting Household, a random

number between 1 and the constant number. This number determines the first household within each block to be surveyed.

• To cover each block, the Survey taker stood in any corner of the

selected block and began their rounds moving in a clockwise direction.

• In case of absence or rejection, selected households were replaced

with the adjacent household. Likewise, if not enough surveys were lifted within a single block the survey taker moved on to the adjacent block, located within the same sampling area.

2.7. Work with quotas:

Selection of interviewees was made through age and gender quotas, determined by the demographic distribution of the population. In Lima, a quota table was used to determine the distribution of the 8 initial surveys: 4 men and 4 women, 3 people between 18 and 29 years old, 3 people between 30 and 44 and 2 people 45 or older.

• In other major cities, quotas were randomly allocated by computer for each primary sampling unit.

13

2.8. Weighting

Results were weighed as a function of the population for each city in the country, as given by the 2005 census results provided by the INEI. For Metropolitan Lima and Callao, the weighting also incorporated the weight of each zone in the city (see next table)

3. FIELD WORK AND OVERSIGHT 3.1. On-desk supervision:

100% of surveys were revised by hand to ensure each questionnaire was filled in properly. In this stage it became possible to identify and correct mistakes, as well as to recover misplaced data.

3.2. FIELD SUPERVISION As well as an on-desk revision, a field supervision process was also undertaken. This implied follow-up interviews with previously surveyed people to verify that the data gathered was authentic and truthful. To do this a field oversight card was designed to help the supervisor verify the interview subject’s general information, (name, age, profession, etc.) the location/address where the interview was conducted, its duration and that the correct selection methodology was followed This oversight procedure took the form of follow-up visits in the days following the lifting of the survey to at least 30% of polls taken and in at least one area, randomly selected for each one of the interviewers.

3.6. Survey takers: Previously selected and trained students from various faculties at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Peru took part as survey takers in Lima and Callao. Surveys elsewhere in the country were lifted with support from local survey takers with whom the IOP-PUCP has worked in previous occasions.

4. DATA PROCESSING

4.1. Digital input

Data from the surveys was entered into a specially programmed data base, with validity checks and alert messages in case of discrepancies. To insure the quality of the data a double input process was followed, which allowed us to evaluate the input procedure and correct any possible mistakes.
