Survey Methodology
Dates of Interviewing: The fieldwork was conducted January 28 - February 10, 2011.
Data Collection Method: Stratified-intercept methodology based on personal, face-to-face interviews in Cuba.
Sample Size: 463 Cuban adults (age 18 and older).

The sample was stratified by province, then by sub-units within each province. Interviewees were allocated by gender and age quotas. The final selection of each interviewee was random.
