Note: The response rates for each city and cohort are in italics. They are the the ratio of interviews to total valid contacts. Valid contacts are the sum of: completed interviews, sharp refusal, no person present, talked with a relative, left paper questionnaire but never returned, interview began but not completed. The age at interview is an approximation given there is some variation in the interview date and birth year within each cohort. In analysis, we combine the Italian and migrant subsamples of the child cohort and control for migrant status.
