The survey consists of different questionnaires, addressed to households and people aged 10 and over who live in them.

The questionnaires and the questions in each questionnaire follow a sequence and flows established according to the answers. Regarding the flow of the questionnaires, first the household questionnaire must be filled in, and from this the number of individual questionnaires and activity diaries to be filled in by the household is decided.

The activity diary has an assigned completion date, which is the same for all household members. In this sense, all activities have to refer to this date, which is reported in the survey's letter of introduction sent to the owners of the different dwellings.
