About the study Escalent interviewed a national sample of consumers aged 18 and older including 1,014 consumers from April 10 to 14, 2017, 1,003 consumers from April 4 to 6, 2018, and 1,007 consumers from August 15 to 23, 2018. Respondents were recruited from the Full Circle opt-in online panel of US adults and interviewed online. The data were weighted by age and gender to match the demographics of the US population. Due to its opt-in nature, this online panel (like most others) does not yield a random probability sample of the target population. As such, it is not possible to compute a margin of error or to statistically quantify the accuracy of projections. Escalent will supply the exact wording of any survey question upon request.
