The process was carried out in two stages: in the first stage (November 14-23, 2024), the self-enumeration method (computer-assisted web-interview - CAWI) was used, and in the second stage (November 29 - December 31) - the computer-assisted personal interview method (CAPI). Based on high demand from the population, data collection using CAWI method was additionally extended throughout December", - the document reads.
