ANNEX 5: SAMPLE DETAILS FOR TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS

A total of 182 victims responded to the telephone survey. At the end of the interview they were asked a number of demographic questions, the results of which are reported in this annex. As is to be expected, a very small minority of respondents declined to answer some of the questions. The number of respondents answering each question is indicated below each of the tables.
