For each country, random permutations in the blocks were produced using a SAS® random number generator, with the starting number taken as a multiple of the WHO centre number (an identifying code number for the participating centre in the country).
The data collection was organized for each country separately and slightly different methodologies were employed: in 6 countries random digit dialling was used for the recruitment of participants, in two countries recruitment was performed face-to-face (random walking route) either as a separate study (PL) or as a part of a larger multi-theme survey (DE).

32 In the Scandinavian countries random samples of eligible people were drawn from complete population registers and linked to commercial telephone listings.
To account for the hierarchical dependencies in the study data (patients nested within physicians, physicians nested within countries), random effects for physicians and countries were included into the logistic regression models and parameters were estimated by penalized quasi-likelihood methods (SAS, GLIMMIX procedure).
In order to test whether the effect of the main explanatory variables varies between countries, random slopes for these variables were introduced in the model, but there was no evidence that the relationship between fertility intentions and work characteristics varies across countries.
Multilevel analyses were used to take into account that the children were nested within schools and countries, and random effects by country were checked [ 21].
And if they do, it's going to be an absolute coupon buster if they decide to send it 3,000 miles to Britain rather than – just to pick a country at random – South Korea.
