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 two waves, wave 1 and wave 3. In wave 1 4.870 panel members were recruited (see documentation from wave 1). In wave 3 5.623 members were recruited. Prior to wave 5 the Norwegian Citizen Panel had 10,247 members. The sampling procedure of wave and wave 1 is identical. 25 000 individuals over the age of 18 were randomly drawn from the Norwegian National Population Registry. 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.

Mode of Data Collection

The survey is based on a online questionnaire. Existing members receivs e-mail invitations asking for their participation in the current wave.

New panel members were recruited in multiple 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 participants, c) the time-frame of the project, d) the participants’ rights to opt 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).

The invitation was emailed on the 01st of March 2016.

Three reminders were sent at the following dates: 04th of March, 08th of March, and 11th of March. The reminder was sent to those who a) had not entered the questionnaire, and b) had not completed the questionnaire.

Wave 6 was closed 19th of March.

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.
