• The survey comprising questions B1-B13 was conducted between May 25 and June 8, 2018 with 23,249 adults across 28 countries (the same as above plus Colombia).

• All survey respondents are aged 18-64 in Canada and the U.S. and 16-64 in all other countries.

• The sample size per country in each survey is approximately N=1,000 for Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, and the U.S., and approximately N=500 for Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Chile, Hungary, India, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.

• Weighting has been employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the adult population according to the most recent country census data.

• A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size would have an estimated margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points for a sample of 1,000 and an estimated margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points for a 500 sample 19 times out of 20.

• In 17 of the countries surveyed ,internet penetration is sufficiently high to think of the samples as representative of the national population within the age ranges covered: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Great Britain, and U.S. Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Peru, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Turkey have lower levels of internet penetration.
