Every implementation of survey includes: (theoretical) construction of a sample, a method of sample selection, setting of indicators and variables that will be monitored, preparation of a tool for data collection (questionnaire), addressing individuals from the surveyed population in the field, data collection and its analysis.    

Data collection, in the cooperation with the project research team, was carried out by an external entity selected based on public procurement.
