These surveys were conducted on the telephone by trained interviewers in all states of Australia and in both city and country areas. Telephone numbers and the person within the household were selected at random. The data has been weighted to reflect the population distribution. The survey is based on 1,221 interviews among adults aged 18 years and over. The maximum margin of sampling error on the total sample is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
