Table 1: _Cont._All other questions were either derived from the UrbWelth model directly or derived from one of the other surveys evaluated [32; 78; 79; 80; 81]. The whole questionnaire was pre-tested several times (12 participants in total). Answers on paper were then digitized into the package SPSS 24 (IBM). From the 51 questions 152 variables were derived (single questions led to up to 12 variables) [77]. Only some questions of the questionnaire were used in this study (Table 1).
