How we built our Germany Panel
Dual Frame
Lifepanel utilizes both landline and mobile sampling frames in most countries to enhance coverage and provide a more accurate representation of the country’s demographics. A detailed breakdown of respondent sources is provided below.
Selection Probabilities
The household size, along with landline or mobile access, is recorded for each respondent. This information enables precise calculation of selection probabilities and facilitates data post-processing.
Data Collection Channels
The primary verification method is a phone call. Additionally, we use SMS and WhatsApp for pre-notifications and reminders to join the panel. Email addresses are collected during the recruitment process and serve as an additional channel for sending survey invitations.
Realtime Demographics - Full Transparency
Education
Levels
Lifepanel uses the OECD education level standard for all its countries, which makes it easier to compare them.
Age Band Distribution
Gender
Classification
In addition to male and female, we also offer an “other” option. The gender distribution varies depending on the recruitment method.
Occupation Status
The occupation status includes seven different options and is updated every six months by our respondents.

Multi-Mode recruitment yet probability-based.
We use a fully probabilistic approach to recruit from a Dual-Frame RDD Sample, which is fully phone verified. We then apply multi-mode sampling within our panel using landline, mobile, SMS, and WhatsApp to maximize response rates. Another advantage is that different population segments prefer different communication methods, so using multiple contact options helps improve representation.
Methodological reporting like CATI and F2F interviews
Probability with the ease of Online Samples.
Disposition Codes
With any data delivery we provided full outline on the response codes and response attempts. We can provide additional info on demographics for the non-response.
Incentive Reporting
Lifepanel uses an adpative incentive system based on past response rate and demographics. With any delivery we provide info on applied incentive.
Raw & Weighted Data
We can provide both type of datasets: The unweighted data and the weighted data upon request.
