Important to think about
There are often conditional questions in our surveys/interviews ("branching") and it is therefore very important to check this in the documents for the interview and survey structures that are available on our website before the data is used/analyzed.
These documents have the words survey or interview as part of the document names and can be found under the respective birth cohort.
