Methodological breaks: (1) Break in methods between MON en OViN. (2) New research design from 1999 (3) Multiple other (smaller) breaks.

Strengths: In combination with MON and OViN when methodological breaks are considered, this survey provides long time series and a large sample size. Weaknesses: One consequence of the survey are the margins around outcomes.
