Methodology
The survey was conducted by GfK Mode in eight cities across the country, with two cities selected from each zone. From each city, some 100 males and 100 females in the 20-45 year age group were selected and interviewed with the help of a close-ended questionnaire.

The respondents were chosen with the help of a recruitment questionnaire to form a widely representative sample. The anonymity of all respondents was strictly maintained. Interviews were conducted at a neutral venue, with male and female respondents interviewed separately, by male/female investigators respectively. Since there is overlap, percentage figures may not add up to 100.
