#' @format A list of two data frames:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{participants}{the study participant, with age, country, year and day

#'   \item{contacts}{reported contacts of the study participants. The variable
#'   phys_contact has two levels (1 denotes physical contact while 2 denotes
#'   non-physical contact), duration_multi has five levels (1 is less than 5
#'   minutes while 5 is more than 4 hours, increasing in the order found in
#'   Figure 1 in Mossong et al.), and frequency_multi has five levels (1 is
#'   daily, 2 is weekly, 3 is monthly, 4 is less often, and 5 is first time)}
#'   All other variables are described on the Zenodo repository of the data,
#'   available at \doi{10.5281/zenodo.1043437}
