GfK Custom Research North America

OMNITEL

OMNITEL is a weekly national telephone omnibus service from GfK Roper, a division of GfK Custom Research North America.

The sample for each week's OMNITEL wave consists of 1,000 completed interviews, made up of male and female adults (in approximately

equal number), all 18 years of age and over.

All interviews are conducted by telephone from three GfK phone centers: Twin Falls & Rexburg, ID and Cebu, Philippines. Together, the

three sites have a full-time capacity of 300 lines, and utilize an interviewing procedure known as CATI - Computer Assisted Telephone

Interviewing. Interviewers have been professionally trained and are continuously monitored and supervised.

Each OMNITEL study is based on a random digit dialing (RDD) probability sample of all telephone households in the continental United

States. The RDD sampling system is totally computer based and provides an equal probability of selection for each and every telephone

household. Thus, the sample represents telephone households with both listed and unlisted phones in their proper proportions. All

sample numbers selected by this procedure are subject to an original and at least four follow-up attempts to complete an interview.

All data are entered and cleaned through the CATI system during the interviewing process. Thus, this process eliminates the editing and

keypunch operations. All completed interviews are weighted to ensure accurate and reliable representation of the total population, 18

years and older.

The raw data are weighted by a custom designed computer program, which automatically develops a weighting factor for each

respondent. This procedure employs five variables: age, sex, education, race and geographic region. Each interview is assigned a

single weight derived from the relationship between the actual proportion of the population with its specific combination of age, sex,

education, race and geographic characteristics and the proportion in our sample that week. Tabular results show both weighted and

unweighted bases for these demographic variables.


-2

Because of the use of rigid and replicable sampling, field, and weighting procedures, all OMNITEL studies are parallel to one another.

This affords the opportunity to draw trend comparisons, as well as point-in-time analysis.

In addition to the standard breakdowns by sex, age, income, region, Internet access and Influentials,* the following classification items

have been obtained and are available to subscribers:

� Nine Census Regions � Family Size/Composition

� Metro Area vs. Non-Metro � Marital Status

� Nielsen County Classifications � Race

� DMA Affiliations � Employment Status

� MSA Affiliations � Education

� Time Zone � Cable TV

Optional classification items available upon a request only basis prior to field start are:

� Home Ownership � Primary Grocery Shopper

� Head of Household � Status of Non-Employed

* The Influentials; a GfK exclusive, are identified by a Political/Social activity index built out of response to a list of activities

reportedly engaged in during the last year – such things as having written a letter to the editor or a politician, having made a speech, or written an article, having worked in a political campaign, being an officer of a civic or fraternal organization, being a member of a group that tries to influence public policy or government, signed a petition, etc. “Signed a petition” was put on the list largely so that anyone who wanted to say he/she had done something would have something to say. All responses to “signed a petition” are ignored in building this scale. Respondents who have done four or more of the things on the list (beyond signing a petition) are classified as “Influential” – and may be roughly equated with “thought leaders.”

The results contained in this report are based on interviews conducted from August 10 – 12. A total of approximately 1,000 interviews

were completed, with approximately 500 female adults and 500 male adults. The margin of error on weighted data is + 3 percentage

points for the full sample.

The client’s questionnaire is shown on the next page, with tabular results following.
