Acknowledgements

This work is the results of several years of engaged participation of a countless number of individuals and organisations who participated at different development steps of these frameworks. We are therefore grateful to the numerous experts, national study managers and statistical organisations around the world who have been essential to the development and refinement of these proposed conceptual frameworks. The latest were deeply involved at each development stage from the framework review and refinement, item development and conduction of feasibility studies, data collection and analysis.
