This survey is a follow-up survey of households that responded to the first survey carried out in 2011, allowing us to create a panel. This paper presents a summary of this most recent survey (the second round), including its objectives, questions, and methodology, along with basic tabulation results. In Appendix 1 at the end of the paper, we also briefly discuss the characteristics of survey subjects from which we were unable to obtain responses in this round of the survey.
