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

Based on international literature the panel recruitment process was expected to have a success rate of approximately 14 percent. In order to reach our minimum target of 3 500 respondents we therefore had to draw a gross sample of 25 000 individuals.

The sample was drawn from the Norwegian National Population Registry. This register 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.

25 000 individuals over the age of 18 were randomly drawn from the register. The extracted data was a) last name, b) first name, c) address, d) gender, and e) age. The sample excluded people with no current home address in Norway.

Furthermore, all individuals over the age of 95 were excluded from the sample. This amounted to 58 persons, thus leaving a net sample of 24 942 individuals before the recruitment process started.

In wave 1, 4 870 panel members were recruited (see documentation from wave 1).

Mode of Data Collection

Panel members were recruited per post in two steps.

First, letters were sent to everyone in the sample. The letters contained the following information; a) a description of the project, b) the Citizen Panel’s policy on privacy and measures taken to protect the anonymity of the participators, c) the time-frame of the project, d) the participants’ rights to opt out of the panel at any time in the future, e) contact information for the people responsible for the project, f) a unique log-in id and the web address to the panel’s web site and g) the estimated time required to complete the survey (20 minutes).

In order to maximize the response rate, an incentive in the form of a travel gift card was included in the project. The value of the gift card was 25 000 NOK. To enter the lottery respondents were required to join the panel and provide their e-mail addresses. Respondents were asked to register on the panel’s web site and log into the survey using the unique id-code provided in their personal letter. Information on the lottery was included in all correspondence with respondents.

The letter was posted on the 6th of November 2013.

A reminder post card was sent on the 22nd of November 2013 to those respondents who a) had not logged into the survey, or b) had neither completed the survey nor provided their e-mail address. Respondents were encouraged to join the panel, with reference to the letter sent two weeks prior. The unique log-in id provided in the original letter was also included in the post card.

A reminder e-mail was sent on the 25th of November to those respondents who had provided their e-mail addresses, but had not yet completed the survey.

Wave1 was closed on the 05th of January 2014.

Weighting

To compensate for the 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 (table 8 in the appendix).

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. Approximately 9 percent of the net sample did not answer this question. Because of this, 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. An illustration of this is provided in table 5 which shows the effect of weight 2 on the distribution of self-reported level of education in the net sample:
