Home Visits Caribbean Netherlands

We regularly ask people to participate in one of our surveys. Some people we ask to participate in a personal interview at home. This way we collect important information about different people. This leads to reliable figures.

How do I know for sure that it regards a CBS survey?

Letter

CBS will always send a letter first. It is mentioned in this letter for what survey you were invited and what we ask of you. In the letter you can also read where you can ask questions. 

Identification

The CBS employee can always provide identification with a card of CBS. Are you not home when the employee visits your home? When nobody of the household is home, the interviewer will try again at a different time.
