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 in 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.uib.no/medborger

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 seven waves:
In wave 1, 4 870 panel members were recruited (gross sample: 25 000).
In wave 3, 5 623 members were recruited (gross sample: 25 000).
In wave 8, 4 245 new members were recruited (gross sample: 22 000).
In wave 11, 2 069 panel members were recruited (gross sample: 14 000).
In wave 14, 2 036 panel members were recruited (gross sample: 14 000).
In wave 16, 5 163 panel members were recruited (gross sample: 34 000).
In wave 18, 2 048 panel members were recruited (gross sample: 15 000).

For every wave with recruitment a sample has been randomly drawn from the Norwegian National Population Registry. The size of the gross sample has varied somewhat over time. For more details on recruitment we refer you to the documentation for each respective wave.

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.

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.

NCP Fast Track 2 COVID-19 was sent out to a selection of the panels members whom belonged to certain sub-groups in the first “Fast Track” study (carried out in the spring of 2020). Se documentation for more information.

Mode of Data Collection

The survey is based on a web-based questionnaire.

This survey was sent out as a “Fast Track” study in connection with the corona pandemic in Norway, late summer/fall 2020. For this reason, both the content of the study and the implementation phase are somewhat different from ordinary rounds of the Norwegian Citizens’ Panel. This is the second “Fast Track” study dedicated to the topic of the ongoing pandemic.

In NCP Fast Track 2 COVID-19, invitation emails were sent out on August 26th, 2020.

Reminder emails were sent twice, on August 28th and 31st, respectively, to respondents who a) had not logged in to the survey, or b) had not completed the survey.

NCP Fast Track 2 COVID-19 was completed on September 3rd 2020.

Weighting

To compensate for 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.
