The data collection method is mixed: both online and, to correct selection bias, a portion of the sample was interviewed by telephone.
The survey was conducted between June 15 and July 15, 2022, with 4,184 people, divided into three distinct target populations (ages 12 to 17, 18 and over, 18 and over digitally excluded), using adapted questionnaires and specific quotas, and through two types of collection:
3,448 people aged 15 and over were interviewed online in the CDV survey (within each region, quotas on: age, gender, socio-professional category, education level, urban area size, type of housing).
573 people aged 18 and over classified as "digitally excluded" (not having a fixed internet connection line at home) were interviewed by telephone, with quotas derived from a quick telephone survey conducted with 1,000 people aged 18 and over (gender, age, socio-professional category, region, urban area size).
163 people aged 12 to 14 were interviewed online, after obtaining prior consent from one of the parents, with the following quotas: age, gender, urban area size, and socio-professional category of the reference person.
