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

The gross sample of wave 2 were the 4 863 panel members who registered their email address in wave 1. In wave 1 the gross sample were 25 000 individuals above the age of 18 randomly drawn from the Norwegian Population Registry. 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 sample received from Evry contained the following information: a) surname, b) first name, c) address, d) gender, 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.

Mode of Data Collection

Norwegian Citizen Panel is a web-based survey. Wave 2 recruited respondents per email among the existing panel members.

The recruitment process was done in several steps. First, all panel members received an invitation by email. The email contained the following information; a) description of the projeckt, b) the Citizen Panel’s policy on privacy and measures taken to protect the anonymity of the participators, c) contact information for the people responsible for the project, d) a unique we address to the questionnaire, e) the estimated time required to complete the survey (20 minutes), f) information about the lottery of a travel gift card.

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 complete the wave 2 questionnaire. Information on the lottery was included in all correspondence with respondents.

The invitation was emailed on the 10th of March 2014.

Three reminders were sent at the following dates: 13th of March, 17th of March, and 20th of March. The reminder was sent to those who a) had not entered the questionnarie, and b) had not completed the questionnaire. The respondents were encouraged to participate by referring to the number of participants and the importance of various topics in the survey. The unique we address to the questionnaire were also included in the reminders.

Wave 2 was closed 31st of March 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:
