Reporting results from the risk factor survey is an important but difficult part of the survey. Different levels of detail are optimal for different uses and target groups of the reporting. In this document we have suggested a three-level principle for basic reporting of survey data, where the amount of detail varies between the levels of reporting. Regardless on the level of reporting, some information is always needed about
the target population and sampling (2.1 Definition of target population and sampling),
who collected the data and how reliable are the results (2.2 Used measurement protocols and quality of collected data), and
what is the meaning of the indicators used in the reporting (2.3 Definition and interpretation of used indicators).
In the long term, there should be a dialogue between the reporters and those who need the data, and the reporting should be developed continuously according to the accumulating experience.
