Primary Outcome Measures

Participation rate will be studied within three different areas with different levels of deprivation (subgroup analysis). The participation rate is measured by the total amount of completed questionnaires and telephone interviews, divided by the total number of distributed questionnaires. This rate will be calculated for each level of incentive. There is only one time point as each participant can only complete the questionnaire once.
