Response Rate:
View help for Response Rate
The survey has a 13% contact rate and a 1.1%
response rate. Results are considered accurate +/-4.3%, 19 times out of 20.
In total, 412,570 number were called. A total of 55,004 respondents answered the phone and were potential respondents. A total of 519 people completed the entire survey. An estimate of 12.4% were not eligible to do the survey, either due to being too young or not living in Waterloo Region. The not eligible number was extrapolated by using the percentage of people not eligible based on responses to the first two questions.

Sampling:
View help for Sampling
The survey of
Waterloo Region residents was conducted using an interactive voice response
(IVR) phone survey methodology. Respondents completed the survey using their
telephone keypad. The sample was randomly created using phone numbers that were
originally assigned to Waterloo Region residents. Due to the ability to port
numbers, respondents who moved into the region and ported a phone number were
not eligible to participate in the survey. In addition, listed land line
numbers in the Region of Waterloo were randomly added to the sample. The
landline sample was drawn from numbers listed in the Waterloo Region phone
book. Emergency phone numbers were removed from the randomly selected phone
numbers.
This survey was approved by the Conestoga College Research Ethics Board. Sampling error, not included in the margin of error, exists due to the mismatch that is created by the random dialing of phone numbers as opposed to randomly sampling actual Waterloo Region residents.
