1. Out-of-scope cases are those that were coded as residents not eligible, unable to locate the dwelling, dwelling under construction, vacant or seasonal dwelling, or duplicate cases.
2. A respondent's data is considered complete for the purposes of the scaling of a country's psychometric assessment data provided that at least the Background Questionnaire variables for age, gender and education have been completed.
3. The response rate is calculated as number of respondents divided by the initial sample size minus the out-of-scope cases.
4. The reason for the relatively large number of out-of-scope cases in New Zealand is that a screening methodology was used to 'oversample' the Mâori and Pacific populations. In the screened portions of the sample, only Mâori and Pacific people were treated as in scope.
