Eleven teams were involved in the data collection. The purpose of the eleventh team was to afford each of the 10 regular teams the opportunity to take one month off as annual leave. The leave arrangements were such that there were always 10 teams at work. The constitution of a team is shown below:

The Supervisor was the team leader and was responsible for overseeing, monitoring and, where necessary, correcting the work of the interviewers and the data entry operator.
