3 Note on the delivery of D3.2 (Sampling report) According to the original timing, deliverable D3.2 (Sampling report) was originally due in Month 14 (March 2013). The deliverable was submitted at a later date (Month 18 July 2013) due, on the one hand, to the delays in the completion of other tasks which have an impact on the sampling design (more specifically, the submission of the final draft of the survey questionnaire), and on the other hand, to recent changes in the survey methodology, as an outcome of the pilot study. Delays in finalising the survey questionnaire, due in Month 13 (February 2013), first draft submitted in Month 15 (April 2013), and post-pilot version submitted in Month 18 (July 2013), as well as discussions on questionnaire content and its impact on the sampling approach (whether to interview the general public or to target only people who use the internet and who take public transport) made the two tasks (questionnaire design and sampling) interdependent. The pilot study provided important input on different aspects which impact the sampling design, such as interview length (time taken to answer the survey, implementation of the online/offline methodologies, respondents understanding of the questionnaire). Based on the outcomes of the pilot, the questionnaire administration technique was refined, and several adjustments were made to the planning as well as to the methodological approach (carrying out a second pilot in order to further test and perfect the survey questionnaire, and carrying out the fieldwork in Estonia online rather than face-to-face). Waiting for the outcomes of the pilot study (Month 17 June 2013) was therefore crucial in order to define the sampling approach. 3

5 1 Executive summary This document presents the sampling techniques which will be implemented for the PACT survey. As the methodology will vary between the different countries where the survey will take place (online, face-to-face), the sampling design will be adapted accordingly, all while taking into account countryspecific aspects. Our sampling approach will aim, on the one hand, to ensure that the survey results are representative of the general population in the different countries, and on the other hand, to maximise fieldwork efficiency and to reduce possible risks. The survey will be carried out in 27 countries of the European Union. Approximately 1000 people 1, aged 18 and older, will be interviewed in each country. In terms of methodology, the survey will be carried out online in 12 countries, and face-to-face in 13 countries. In two of the countries (Italy and Germany), the survey will be carried out through a mixed approach, as 500 interviews will be conducted online, and 500 will be carried out face-to-face, enabling us to control comparability between the two methods during the fieldwork process. In countries where the survey will be carried out online, the sampling design will be structured by national representative quotas, reflecting the structure of the offline population in each country by age, gender and region. The sample will be drawn from online panels in each country. Panellists are recruited from different sources (opt-in s, banner and text links, referral programs). The panel is constantly renewed with updated panellist contact information and demographics. Each potential respondent will be directed to a unique URL where they can access the questionnaire. Those who have not completed the survey within a certain pre-defined schedule will receive reminders. Fieldwork progress will be monitored centrally, on a daily basis. In countries where the survey will be carried out face-to-face, the sampling will designed following a three-step approach: stratification and selection of local area sampling points, selection of addresses within each of the sampling points, selection of individuals within each household. As a first step of the process, in each country, the population will be stratified by region and urbanisation degree. Sampling point selection (total number of sampling points, number of sampling points per cell) will be done according to the structure of the obtained matrix. Depending on the country, a certain number of interviews will then be allocated for each sampling point. In each sampling point, starting addresses will be selected. Households will then be selected through predefined random walk procedures. The number of addresses skipped between two interviews (random walk interval) can vary by country, as well as by type of settlement (whether rural or urban). Finally, at a household level, respondents will be selected according to national representative quotas, reflecting the structure of the general population in each country by age and gender (either crossed quotas or simple quotas, depending upon local procedures in each country). Only one respondent will be interviewed in each household. 1 The sample size will be of 1000 interviews in each country, apart from Luxembourg, Malta and Cyprus, where 750 interviews will be carried out 5

6 2 Methodology The target of the survey will be the general population, aged 18+, in each of the 27 countries. The survey will be conducted through online and face-to-face methodology, as following: Online: 12 countries Face-to-face: 13 countries Mixed methodology (500 interviews online, 500 interviews face-to-face): 2 countries Country Methodology Internet access 2 (%) Sample size Netherlands Online Luxembourg Online Sweden Online Denmark Online Finland Online UK Online France Online Austria Online Belgium Online Ireland Online Spain Online Estonia 3 Online Germany Online, face-to-face (500 online, 500 faceto-face) Italy Online, face-to-face (500 online, 500 faceto-face) Malta Face-to-face Slovenia Face-to-face Slovakia Face-to-face Poland Face-to-face Czech Republic Face-to-face Lithuania Face-to-face Hungary Face-to-face Latvia Face-to-face Cyprus Face-to-face Portugal Face-to-face Greece Face-to-face Romania Face-to-face Bulgaria Face-to-face The survey will be conducted online in countries with high internet penetration, and face-to-face in those where internet penetration is lower. In Germany and in Italy, both methods will be used, as in each of the two countries, 500 interviews will be carried out online, and 500 face-to-face. This 2 Internet access Eurostat In the initial planning, fieldwork in Estonia was to be carried out through face-to-face methodology. Due to decisions taken after the pilot study regarding methodology and planning (conducting a second pilot study in one country in order to test and perfect the survey questionnaire), and taking into account the high internet penetration rate in this country, it was agreed that fieldwork in Estonia would take place online. 6

7 approach will enable us to control the comparability of the two methods throughout the fieldwork process. 3 Sampling approach online survey In countries where the survey will be conducted online, a quota sampling approach will be implemented. The survey will target members of the general population, aged 18+. In order to ensure representativeness, quotas by age, gender and region will be applied in each country, reflecting the structure of the overall population in each country. The sample will be drawn from online panels in each of the participating countries. Ipsos is an industry leader in building and maintaining the highest quality panels. Panellists are recruited from a variety of sources, including numerous opt-in lists, banner and text links, and referral programs. The panel is continually refreshed with updated panellist contact information and panellist demographics. Non-responders are systematically purged, allowing us to maintain a very high response rate. Within each country, the sample to receive an invitation to participate in the survey will be representative of the offline population in that country, based on Eurostat data where available. For surveys conducted within a country, the matrix is based on the latest population statistics and balanced according to response rates for each demographic group, ensuring the sample is reflective of the target population according to gender, age, and region. Each potential survey respondent will be directed to a unique URL within our secure online research environment where they access the survey questionnaire. Respondents who are interrupted or choose to suspend the survey before they have had an opportunity to complete the questionnaire can at their convenience access the site again using their unique URL and finish the survey. To ensure the integrity of the data, and to avoid a situation in which an individual could fill out the survey multiple times, the unique URL provides password-protected entry to our site and expires after the completion of a single survey (one survey for one Unique URL). Once the survey invitation has been sent, reminders will be distributed to those who have not completed the survey at a schedule pre-determined based on the study plan. Ipsos will monitor the status of the online research twice daily (and more frequently during the first several days of fieldwork. Any issues that arise during the fieldwork will be flagged as soon as possible. Online fieldwork will be centralised within the Ipsos Interactive Service Bureau (IIS). All the work conducted by IIS is managed centrally, with one scripting, data collection and data delivery process. The following tables present the approximate description of the sample structure for each of the countries where the survey will take place online. 7

15 4 Sampling approach face-to-face survey In countries where the survey will be carried out face-to-face, the following three-step approach will be implemented: Stratification and selection of local area sampling points Selection of addresses within each of the sampling points Selection of individuals within each selected household, according to quotas by age and gender, ensuring that the sample is balanced by key characteristics. In each country, the sampling design will be implemented according to the following procedure: 1. Stratification In each country, the population will be stratified by region (NUTS 4 2/3), and urbanisation degree 2. Selection of sampling points Based on the obtained matrix, a certain number of sampling points will be selected in each country According to the structure of the sampling points in each country, a certain number of interviews will be allocated for each sampling point 3. Address selection In each sampling point, a certain number of starting addresses will be selected Households will then be selected, either through random walk procedures, either based on an address list 4. Respondent selection At a household level, individuals will be selected according to national representative quotas by age and gender The procedure will vary by country, as some countries will follow crossed quotas (in which case, age categories will be regrouped), while others will follow simple quotas (in which case, detailed age categories will be used) Only one individual will be interviewed in each household. The following sections provide a detailed description of the sampling procedures, as they will be implemented in each of the countries where the survey will take place face-to-face, as well as the suggested sampling structure (approximate number of sampling points and of interviews per sampling point, approximate targets in terms of age and gender) in each country. 4 The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 15

Within these layers, the sampling units are ordered according to their size, i.e. specific weights 5 3. Selection of sampling points On the basis of the ADM-Sampling System, 52 sample points (electoral districts of the 2009 Federal Elections) will be randomly selected, proportional to the regional structure of the population Each sampling-unit is allocated a specific weight based on the number of all German private households 4. Address selection In each sampling point, the starting address will be drawn at random From this starting address, households will be selected through random route procedure (every third household) 5. Respondent selection Respondents will be selected using simple quotas (age, gender). 5 Note concerning the ADM Sampling system: Ipsos is member of the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft Stichproben des ADM" (i.e. the representation of private market and social research agencies in Germany). The members of the ADM and MMC, Frankfurt/Main, own the ADM-Samplingsystem. This system aims at the universe of private households and their respective household members, living at the location of their main residency in all 16 Länder in the Federal Republic. The spatial grid of the system is based on existing community borders and electronically-aided geographical delineations. As far as possible the geographical delineation is based on the smallest available administrative unit. Those areas are then further separated (using a geographical information retrieval system and the resident information) so that each unit contains on average 700 and a maximum of addresses with minimized variance. In order to maintain a minimum size of 350 inhabitants per unit, some of the sampling units are merged into synthetic units. This process produces selection units which form the basis for drawing each sample. 24
