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, 4.245 new members were recruited (see documentation from wave 8).

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.

Mode of Data Collection

The survey is based on a online questionnaire with postal recruitment. For a more detailed description, please see the documentation report from wave 8. The report is available here: http://digsscore.uib.no/download-data-and-documentation

The invitation was emailed on the 11th of May 2017.

Three reminders were sent at the following dates: 15th of May, 18th of May, and 22th of May. The reminder was sent to those who a) had not entered the questionnaire, and b) had not completed the questionnaire. Panel members with registered phone number received the last of these reminders as a text message. Panel members without registered phone number received the reminder as an email.

Wave 9 was closed 06th of June.

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.
