The interviewers received the questionnaires by mail along with instructions on what types of respondents to seek out in their local areas.

Abstract: This is the 12th survey conducted by the Institute for Public Opinion Research in Bratislava, which served as a department of the Information Commission from 1947 to 1950. The survey covers a wide range of topics (movie theater attendance, popularity of national cinema, film genres, film magazines, experience with and satisfaction regarding hospitals, knowledge of prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, pharmacies, views on vaccination, the campaign against infant mortality, and harvest expectations). The SASD provides a reconstruction of the research results, compiled based on final reports intended for state authorities and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Slovakia (ÚV KSS). Neither the data nor the original questionnaire are available; the SASD provides a reconstruction of the questions used in the questionnaire, and the basic research results, transcribed into an Excel file, are accessible online. The research was conducted using a purposive sample selection to correspond as closely as possible to the estimated structure of the population of Slovak society at that time. Since this was the postwar period and the last nationwide census was in 1930, with the next one not until 1950, it was not possible to use quota sampling. However, the nature of the sample suggests that the sample selection corresponded in several respects to the structure of Slovak society at the time of the survey, which was closest to the 1950 census.
