What happened in Denmark?

Some quick stats: 2% > 2.5 h4% > 2 h

15% > 1.5 h 26% < 45 min

3% < 30 min

But: still add CV and Grip Strength

And what now…?

Cuts or changes have already been made in the… AC module: moves starting at age 10 RE module: some questions out, clarified others (ISCO) HS module: deleted some questions, combined others HC module: major cuts in the loops for preventive care RC module: cut the stillbirths and abortion loop RP module: improved the marriage section

Addition in the GL-module on persecution Thanks to Radim and Michal for pointing this out One general filter and then some follow up questions
