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 Ideas 2 Evidence 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 is available at www.medborger.uib.no http://www.medborger.uib.no

Scope

Geographic coverage: National geographic coverage. Counties as geographic coding.
Enhet: Individual
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, 4245 new members were recruited (see documentation from wave 8). In wave 11, 2069 panel members were recruited (see documentation from wave 11). In wave 14, 2036 panel members were recruited (see documentation from wave 14). In wave 16, 5163 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. The sampling procedure of wave 8 equals that of wave 1 and 3, but with a gross sample of 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.

34 000 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, 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 with postal recruitment.

Recruitment of new members to the panel was completed in several steps.

First, an invitation letter was sent to everyone in the sample. The invitation letter contained the following information: a) description of the project; b) current privacy and procedural privacy guidelines; c) timeframe for the project; d) participants right to opt out of the panel; e) contact information to the project mangers ; f) a unique login code and URL for the Norwegian Citizens’ Panel’s website; g) estimated time to complete the survey (15 minutes).

To maximize the recruitment rate, an incentive has been used in the form of a travel gift card. The value of the travel gift card is 25,000 NOK. To participate in the drawing of the gift card, it is required that the e-mail address is provided. Information about the lottery is included in all correspondence with the respondents, with the exception of the final reminder via text message.

The invitation letter was posted on October 29, 2019. A reminder was sent to those respondents who a) had not logged into the survey, or b) had not completed the survey. New respondents received only one reminder, either via a postcard or a text message. The text message was sent to respondents under the age of 60. The postcard was sent to respondents over the age of 60 and to those without a registered mobile number. Respondents were invited to participate in the Norwegian Citizens’ Panel with reference to the invitation letter. The postcard was posted on November 12, 2019. The login code was also given in the postcard. The text message was sent out on November 13, 2019. The text message contained both a login code and a direct link to the survey.

Data collection among old panel members was done in parallel with the recruitment of new respondents. The invitation mail was sent out on October 31, 2019. The first, second, and third reminders were sent to the respondents’ email, on November 7, November 18, and November 21, 2019, respectively. Panel members with a registered mobile number received the last reminder in form of a text message.

Wave 16 ended November 27th.

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. 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.
