* Change in survey criteria: From 2019 onwards respondents were given the additional options "About once a week", "Several times a month", and "About once a month." The options "Several times a day", "About 3 to 4 times a month", and "Only on special occasions" were removed. This leads to limited comparabilty of older data to subsequent years.
