Our European probability Panels

Why Lifepanel in Europe?

Why Europe is perfectly suited
for Probability Panels.

On the other hand, the lack of public registers makes address-based-sampling difficult in some countries for which novel probability based approaches are required to ensure a good representation of the European population resulting in high net effective sample sizes.

In 2022, the average internet penetration in Europe reached 93% according to Eurostat.

Approach

Multi-Mode recruitment yet probability-based.

We apply a fully probabilistic approach to recruitment from a Dual-Frame RDD Sample – completely phone verified, but apply multi-mode sampling from within our panel via landline, mobile, SMS and WhatsApp, maximizing response rates this way. Another benefit is the fact that different segments of the population prefer different means of communication – multiple modes of contact using the same way thus also increases representation.
