  3. Design of the pairfam study Sampling frame German resident population N=12,000 anchors Multicohort sequence design (birth cohorts 1991-1993, 1981-1983, and 1971-1973)‏ Interviewed alteri: partners, parents, children Wavelength: One Year (surveys conducted Oct. – March)‏ Questionnaire development by pairfam group Fieldwork by TNS Infratest (Munich)‏
