Sampling for CAS 2005 was designed to generate a representative sample of 1200 adults spread across metropolitan Cape Town. A two-stage cluster sample design was used. First, a sample of seventy 'enumerator areas' (EAs) was selected. Secondly, a sample of about 1820 households was selected in these EAs. Anticipated different response rates in different kinds of areas required oversampling in some areas.
Module A of the questionnaire collected basic data on dwelling characteristics and population group of the selected respondent.
Module B collected data on the values and social attitudes of the respondent
Module C collected data on the respondent's political attitudes and political participation
Module D collected data on the respondent's attitudes to and involvement with family and civil society
Module E collected data on the respondent's attitudes to education
Module F collected data on the respondent's attitudes to issues of race and culture
Module G is the household roster, collecting data on household members, including age, gender, relationship to the respondent, levels of education, employment situation and income. Data on dwellings (rooms, access to sanitation) was also collected in this module, plus migration data and detailed employment data for household members.
Module H collected health data.
