Follow-up survey to the 2013LCSwave2
Sample population for the JGSS-2019LCSwave3 was those who completed JGSS-20013LCS and who agreed to participate to follow-up surveys (683 individuals 32 to 46 years of age as of December 31, 2012).
The research team maintained contact with respondents to keep their addresses updated, and informed them about the wave3 survey in August 2018. The valid responses for the JGSS-2019LCSwave3 was 549, and of those 82 respondents had address changed since the 2013 survey.

Administration
JGSS-2019 LCS was conducted from February through April 2019. The fieldwork was entrusted to the Central Research Services Inc. (Chuo-Chosa-sha).
Respondents received a pre-announcement letter for the survey in January, and a self-administered questionnaire was mailed out in February. Face to face interviews were then conducted, and interviews also collected the self-administered questionnaires.
For practical reasons, the administrative order (i.e., whether to conduct the face-to-face interview before or after the questionnaire) was determined by the interviewer/administrator depending on the circumstances of each case.
