Note 1
The Italian ISSP 2008 module was fielded in two rounds (in November 2008 and from October 2009 to March 2010), owing to problems that the fielding institute encountered during the first fieldwork period. The ISSP Methodological Committee approved the sample resulting from pooling the two rounds, which can still be separated using the FLAG variable in the data set.
Note 2
The data set from Canada is not included in the integrated file based on decision of the Methodolocigal Committee due to low response rate and limitations of the sample database. This data can be however downloaded as separate data file under the study number ZA4966.
