Summary 

The WHO Multi-country Survey Study (MCSS) was carried out in 61 countries from 2000 to 2001. The study was an exercise in developing research instruments for assessing the health of individuals, adult mortality, health system responsiveness, and household health care expenditures. The survey modes -- which varied from country to country -- included in-person individual interviews, telephone surveys, and mail surveys.

In Turkey, two survey modes were used: household, and postal (questionnaires were hand-couriered rather than mailed). The household survey collected data from 5,196 resopndents. The postal survey covers Istanbul, Bursa, Adana, Diyarbakir, Samsun, Gaziantep, and Aydin only (of these, only Istanbul is covered in the household survey), and samples 4,524 individuals.
