Participating countries
The collection of data has been done in eight countries: the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom. The reason for selecting these countries is because they cover different European health systems and social variation and are big enough to have sufficient number of hospitals for the sampling strategy.
