Probability-Based Respondents

Scientific insights into European households

We are building Lifepanel from decades of Social Research and policy experience, and together with key partners, that have verified each step of the sampling process.

Scientific Design

Scientific Design

We built an online probability panel, based on a representative, dual-frame RDD sample.

Real Panelists

We recruit our panelists by random selection and access to the panel is invite-only from offline sources.

Lifepanel is weighted to be representative of the entire residential adult population.

European Focus

Country Coverage

The panel respondents are recruited from landline and mobile telephone frames for the national phone frames in European countries. With internet and phone access reaching close to full coverage in most European countries, we have a fairly representative sample of the European population.

Certifications

Recognized by global research standards

A yearly re-certification for ISO 27001, ISO 20252 in combination with a dedicated policy document, sampling methodologies and quality structure ensures enterprise level sampling quality.

Closed Panel

Lifepanel is a strict invite-only panel

Every phone number is linked up with a a unique ID which acts like a password. This prevents individuals from registering themselves. 

Real Data

Transparent Results beyond Survey Data

We provide a full breakdown of response rates, demographics of the completes, total number of invited panel members, weighted results and unweighted results as well as selection probabilities for each respondent.

Access Panel or Lifepanel?

Most recent studies showcase that full probability samples provide the most precise data. Studies that utilize a probability sample combined with an opt-in sample are less accurate than studies that make use of full probability samples. Least accurate are surveys comprised entirely of opt-in panel sample*.

Lifepanel is a fully probability-based panel since it recruits randomly selected panelists from a probability based sample source that reflects the population of 16 and over of a given country (Single or Dual-Frame RDD).

 

The data obtained from this panel can statistically represent the target population with a known margin of error. Lifepanel is a strict invite-only panel and does not allow standalone volunteering or referrals to be part of Lifepanel. All respondents must be selected randomly, invited and verified by phone to participate.

Lifepanel Weighting Procedures
The Lifepanel is weighted to be representative of the entire residential adult population of a specific country. The first step in the weighting process is the application of a base weight that accounts for the DFRDD (or single mobile frame) sample design and the within-household sampling of one respondent aged 16 and over. Following the base weight, the panel is calibrated to correct for differential participation along demographics such as age, urbanicity, gender, region, employment status and education. Benchmark distributions are obtained from the most recently available data Eurostats and dedicated national registers. Final weights for the Lifepanel survey data reflect individual respondents’ probability of selection into the sample and are again calibrated to country benchmarks to ensure that Lifepanel survey data accurately represent the opinions of a given country.
Lifepanel Standard Deliverables

We provide several files with every delivery:

 

  • Clean and weighted data available in a variety of formats (e.g. Excel, SPSS, .csv etc.)
  • Additional outputs to meet your needs: from analysis tables and significance testing to complex multi-variate regressions analysis and segmentations; from slide-decks to detailed reports
  • Weighted crosstabs with standard demographics
  • Weighted SPSS data file with standard demographic variables from the survey or panelist profile data (also available in Excel, CSV, or SAS)
  • Methods report
Which part of the population is covered?

Since the respondents are recruited via phone, it represents the entire population with access to phone aged 16 and over of a given country.

The majority of the panel members are invited to surveys via SMS, Email and WhatsApp while a small percentage is interviewed via phone to ensure the non-online part of the population is covered as well.
