The 2012 AmericasBarometer survey was conducted in Spring 2012 in 26 countries, with a total sample of 40,971 individuals (with individual country samples ranging from 1,412 in Haiti to 3,009 in Bolivia). The questionnaire consisted of a core set of questions (tailored to country-specific terminology) and was administered by a domestic research institute, in most cases university-base . In all countries except Canada and the USA, the survey was administered as in person interviews in people’s homes.
