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 three waves, wave 1, wave 3 and wave 8. 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.

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.

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.

22 000 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.

Mode of Data Collection

The survey is based on a online questionnaire with postal recruitment.

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).

In order to maximize the response rate, an incentive in the form of a travel gift card is included in the project. The value of the gift card is 25 000 NOK. To enter the lottery respondents were required to join the panel and provide their email 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 06th of March 2017.

A reminder post card was sent on the 16th of March 2017 to those respondents who a) had not logged into the survey, or b) had neither completed the survey nor provided their email address. Respondents were encouraged to join the panel, with reference to the invitation letter. The unique log-in ID provided in the original letter was also included in the post card.

Thereafter, respondent that had not responded to the survey received a text message 30th of March 2017. The log-in ID was given in the text message. Respondents without a registered phone number received a second post card reminder. The post cards were sent out on the 28th of March 2017.

Data collection among existing panel members was conducted in parallel with the recruitment of, and data collection among, new members. They received an invitation to survey to their e-mail account on the 07th of March 2017. The first and second reminders were also sent to their e-mail account, on the 10th and 16th of March respectively.

Existing panel members with registered phone number also received a reminder as a text message. Panel members without registered phone number received the reminder as an email. These last reminders were sent out on the 21st of March 2017

Wave 8 was closed 09th of April.

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.
