A key aim of the DIGSSCORE facilities is to implement and improve the highest standards of survey methodology.
Main content
The Norwegian Citizen Panel听is based on a probability sample of the general Norwegian population above the age of 18. The panel currently consists of about 10,000 active participants. Panel members complete an online questionnaire three times a year of about 15 minutes each. The first round of survey was conducted in November 2013.
Recruitment was conducted by postal recruitment in November 2013, October 2014, March 2017, March 2018, January 2019, November 2019, June 2020, November 2021, October 2022 and June 2024. Supplementary recruiting is now done on a yearly basis. Only invited individuals may participate.听A lottery on travel gift cards has been included in each survey round as an incentive. Each round of the survey constitutes a representative cross-section of the Norwegian population, in addition to the panel component with some questions being asked regularly to give panel data.
After each wave, a methodology report is produced with information about participation, representativity, time use, etc.
