ICAC to commence household survey to gauge public views on corruption and anti-graft work
2022-6-13
The ICAC will kick start its annual opinion survey this Thursday (June 16) to gauge public attitudes towards corruption and their understanding of Hong Kong’s anti-graft work.
About 1,700 Hong Kong residents, aged between 15 and 74, will be selected randomly through scientific sampling for interviews to be conducted by an independent and professional research agency appointed by the ICAC.
“The ICAC has been conducting annual opinion surveys for nearly 30 years. Throughout the years the survey findings enabled the Commission to formulate and fine-tune its strategies in law enforcement, corruption prevention and public education,” said an ICAC spokesman.
Selected households will receive a notification letter from the ICAC. Interviewers of the research agency will visit the households between 10:00 am and 9:45 pm during the survey period for a simple face-to-face interview which will last about 10-15 minutes. Selected households are welcome to call the research company or the ICAC to schedule the interview at their preferred time.
All interviewers will bear an authorisation letter issued by the ICAC as well as a staff identity card of the research agency for identification purposes.
In view of the epidemic situation, all interviewers must fulfill the vaccination requirements of “Vaccine Pass” and adopt relevant anti-epidemic measures, including performing a Rapid Antigen Test for COVID-19 and checking body temperature before conducting fieldwork every day, wearing a face mask throughout the interview, and sterilising their hands before and after each interview. The ICAC and the research agency will constantly review the anti-epidemic measures and arrangements.
All data collected from the survey will be compiled in aggregate, and the completed questionnaires will be destroyed after completion of the survey.
Details of the survey are now available on the ICAC corporate website (www.icac.org.hk). For enquiries, members of the public may call the ICAC enquiry hotline 2826 3273 between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm from Monday to Sunday during the survey period.
