Women aged 16-49 and men aged 16-69. A random probability sample of 3,000 private households in Great Britain is selected each month using the postcode Address File as a sampling frame. Due to changes in the design of the National Statistics Omnibus survey, the sample size from 2005 was approximately two-thirds of that in previous years.
