MOSAiCH is a cross-sectional survey that focuses on the Swiss population's values and attitudes toward a wide range of social issues. The thematic focus of the 2018 edition lies on "Religion IV", the current module of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) which is repeated for the 4th time. This international part is supplemented by selected socio-demographic questions, as well as a module composed of Switzerland specific questions. The questions of this Swiss part are determined by means of a public call and either expand the ISSP module thematically or measure other dimensions that are of special interest to Switzerland.
The ESS survey (European Social Survey, http://www.europeansocialsurvey.org) emerged from the need to obtain comparative data in Europe on a number of issues of political science, sociology, social psychology, mass communication or economics. The ESS is a study introduced in 2002 and replicated every two years. This is the seventh edition of the study in Switzerland. The ESS provides indicators on the practices and representations of the Swiss population, making it possible to compare them with European countries and to observe the evolution over time. The 2016 edition focuses on 'Climate change' and 'Welfare'.
MOSAiCH stands for "Measurement and Observation of Social Attitudes in Switzerland" and is a survey conducted under this name since 2005. It integrates several international repeated surveys, with Swiss data going back as far as 1987. In practice, a minimum of 1,200 people answer a 1-hour face-to-face interview, with the survey being conducted every two years. The data offer valuable information about attitudes and behaviours of the resident population of Switzerland, with strong analytical power for sociological research. The questionnaire is structured in five parts: (1+2) At the heart of MOSAiCH stands the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP). This longstanding survey includes today 45 countries all over the world. As the fieldwork of MOSAiCH takes place every two years, two modules of the ISSP are included in each survey. There are currently 12 different modules, regularly repeated for comparisons over time. (3) The socio-demographic part is designed to meet the ISSP requirements, and is further elaborated to improve the analytical power. (4) An additional part of the survey takes over certain repeated parts of the standard Eurobarometer, adapted to the Swiss context, especially the attitudes toward political and social institutions and issues related to the European Union. (5) A last part is open for propositions of Swiss scholars, which have to be related to the topics of the fielded survey. For the edition in 2017, the ISSP modules are on the repeated topics "Role of Government (V)" and "Social Networks and Social Resources (II)". The questions for the last part have been determined by a call for proposals. These questions are related to social engagement, social inequality and social services, political consumerism, and democracy in Switzerland. Except of a single question (CHS4), located in the Face-to_face questionnaire, all these questions have been asked in the drop-off questionnaire.

The ISSP HEALTH PILOT survey is the pilot survey of the 2011 International Social Survey Program (ISSP) module on health, health policies and inequalities in health. The ISSP survey is carried out in more than 40 countries worldwide. Each edition of the ISSP covers a specific theme, which is repeated at regular intervals. In Switzerland, the ISSP is part of the MOSAICH survey (Measurement and Observation of Social Attitudes in Switzerland, http://forscenter.ch/en/our-surveys/international-surveys/mosaich-issp/). The ISSP HEALTH PILOT survey interviewed several hundred people living in the canton of Vaud in late 2009 and early 2010; it is preliminary to the MOSAiCH2011 survey, which interviews a representative sample of the resident population in Switzerland. The survey focuses on public opinion on the prioritization of resources and health care as well as on the confidence in and the satisfaction with the health care system. It looks at different dimensions: self-rated health status and well-being, personal experience with health care, confidence in the health care system, importance to be put on different health sectors, and satisfaction with the current system and its benefits.
