Covid-19 Fast track 1: Norwegian Citizen Panel

Field period: 20 March - 29 March 2020

This survey was sent out as a "Fast Track" study in connection with the first phase of the coronavirus pandemic in Norway, in the spring of 2020. For this reason, both the content of the study and the implementation phase are somewhat different from the ordinary rounds of the Norwegian Citizen Panel.

In the methodology report, there is information about weighting, among other things. In 2023, we conducted a review of the weights and now recommend using Weight4. This is included in all datasets but has not yet been reflected in the methodology report. You can read more about the new weight here.
