This survey is part of an investigation that is being carried out at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Porto and is targeted to EXPATRIATES from culturally varied backgrounds. It examines expatriates' health and alcohol consumption behaviours during the assignment.

The survey takes approximately 7 minutes to complete. It contains a section with some demographic questions, important to characterize the sample, but not used to identify you in any way. Replies are totally anonymous. We ask you to fill the entire survey. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers, since it is your opinion that is important.

We deeply thank your participation. We also ask for your help in forwarding an invitation to participate in the survey to other EXPATRIATES.

For any doubts or further questions, please contact the main researcher: Fábio André Nunes - fac_nunes@hotmail.com. University of Porto - Faculty of Economics - Rua Dr. Roberto Frias 4200-464 Porto, Portugal (www.fep.up.pt).

Sincerely,

Fábio André Nunes
