Study Description

Abstract

The Norwegian Citizen Panel is a platform for internet surveys of public opinion in important areas of society and politics in Norway. Participants are randomly recruited from the Norwegian population register, and they are encouraged to participate over time. The panel was fielded for the first time the fall of 2013 and as of 2017 the survey is carried out three times a year. The University of Bergen owns and is responsible for the Citizen panel. The company ideas2evidence recruits respondents, produces the survey, and provides documentation of the data. Data is stored and shared by the Norwegian Social Science Data services (NSD). The Norwegian Citizen Panel welcomes research proposals for survey content. More information about calls and other updates are available at www.medborger.uib.no

Scope

Geographic coverage: National geographic coverage. Counties as geographic coding.
Unit of analysis: Individuals
Univers: Norwegian Citizens above the age of 18.

Methodology

Sampling procedure

Members of the Norwegian Citizen Panel have been recruited in six waves:
In wave 1, 4 870 panel members were recruited (see documentation from wave 1).
In wave 3, 5 623 members were recruited (see documentation from wave 3).
In wave 8, 4 245 new members were recruited (see documentation from wave 8).
In wave 11, 2 069 panel members were recruited (see documentation from wave 11).
In wave 14, 2 036 panel members were recruited (see documentation from wave 14).
In wave 16, 5 163 panel members were recruited (see documentation from wave 16).

In wave 1 and 3 a gross sample of 25 000 individuals was randomly drawn from the Norwegian National Population Registry, while in wave 8 the gross sample amounted to 22 000 individuals. In wave 11 and 14, a corresponding gross sample of 14 000 people was drawn. In wave 16, the gross sample was 34 000.

This National Population Registry includes everyone born in Norway as well as former and current inhabitants. The Norwegian Tax Administration is responsible for the register, but the administration is partly outsourced to the private IT-company Evry. Evry drew the sample on behalf of the Citizen Panel after the necessary permissions were acquired from the Norwegian Tax Administration.

The extracted data was a) last name, b) first name, c) address, d) gender, e) age, and f) phone number. The sample excluded people with no current home address in Norway.

Mode of Data Collection

The survey is based on a web-based questionnaire.

This survey was sent out as a “Fast Track” study in connection with the first phase of the corona pandemic in Norway, spring 2020. For this reason, both the content of the study and the implementation phase are somewhat different from ordinary rounds of the Norwegian Citizens’ Panel.

In NCP Fast Track 1 COVID-19, invitation emails were sent out on March 20, 2020.

Reminder emails were sent twice, on March 25 and 27, respectively, to respondents who a) had not logged in to the survey, or b) had not completed the survey.

NCP Fast Track 1 COVID-19 was completed on March 29.

Weighting

To compensate for observed bias, a set of weights has been calculated. The weights equal the relation between a given strata in the population and the total population, divided by the relation between a given strata in the net sample and the total net sample. This procedure returns values around 1, but above 0. Respondents who are underrepresented will receive a weight above 1 and respondents who are overrepresented a weight below 1. The weights of the different stratums are listed in the documentation report. When calculating the weights, the information regarding the respondent’s geographical location, gender and age are based on registry data. These attributes were included in the sample file we received from the Norwegian Population Register. Information regarding the level of education is provided by the respondents when answering the questionnaire.

Two different weights have been calculated:

When applied, both weights will provide a weighted N equal to the number of cases in the dataset.

We will strongly recommend using weight 2 in any statistical analysis, as this weight provides the most accurate compensation for the various sources of bias in the net sample.

Note: In 2018 NCP changed the age variables in the datasets in order to make the respondents less identifiable. The weights are calculated with the old age variables, which no longer are publically available.
