7 1996 PANEL SURVEY SURVEY DESCRIPTION 1 Survey design and implementation 11 Main elements in the survey The 1996 HUS survey is essentially a pure panel survey Thus the sample consists of the respondents in the 1993 survey However included in the 1996 survey is also a sample of new members, these new members are either children in panel households who have become 18 year or older since 1993 or individuals that have moved into a panel household The basic survey design can be illustrated as follows: Survey group Contact Main interview Questionnaire Sample size interviews Telephone Telephone Personal (gross) Panel X X 2963 New respondents in panel X X X 276 In each household, the household head and spouse/partner were interviewed, as well as an additional person in certain households Questions regarding the household as a whole were asked of only one person in the household, preferably the household head As in earlier surveys, data from the interviews was subsequently supplemented by registry data, but only for those respondents who had given their express consent In the above-mentioned questionnaires each respondent had the opportunity to indicate whether he/she preferred to answer questions about tax assessments etc or to permit us to take the corresponding information from the SCB registry There is registry information for percent of the sample 12 Panel survey Sample The sample included: a) all respondents in the 1993 survey, ie, 4187 individuals in 2561 households, b) all members of old survey households who were born in 1975, 1976 or 1977 as well as, in cases where such individuals had left their old households, their spouses or partners, c) spouses/partners of old respondents who had moved into the household since 1993 When respondents who were living alone in 1993 had since started living with someone else, the new spouse/partner was interviewed In the case of divorce/separation both spouses were followed and any new partners were identified and interviewed i

8 1996 PANEL SURVEY SURVEY DESCRIPTION Field work Training was carried out for Sifo s interviewers in Ronneby; representatives of the HUS project provided information on the preconditions and background of the project A letter of notification and informational materials were sent out to respondents one to two weeks before the planned telephone interview The letter informed the respondents that those who completed the main interview would receive a lottery ticket They were also given information regarding data protection and assured that participation in the study was voluntary Interviewing began in early February of 1996, with the bulk of the interviews conducted in February, March and April The final main interviews took place during the summer of 1996 Interviews were carried out with the help of a CATI system (computer-assisted telephone interviews) from Sifo s telephone headquarters in Ronneby At the conclusion of the main interview a questionnaire was sent to each respondent by mail, containing questions on income, assets, taxes etc that were not suitable for inclusion in the telephone interviews Both the telephone interviews and the questionnaires mailed to the respondents were largely identical to those used in the 1993 survey Response rates and nonresponse If the household head had died, moved to an institution 1 or moved to a foreign country and was thus out of the population, the interviewers were instructed to interview other household members instead One of these individuals was designated the new household head If the household head was in a hospital or another institution for a long period of time, the household-head interview was conducted with another household member, preferably the spouse/partner of the household head if that person had been interviewed as part of the 1993 survey If the household head had acquired a new spouse/partner since 1993, no household-head interview was carried out unless the spouse/partner was first interviewed in person If the household head was temporarily absent, the interviewer was instructed to come back after that person had returned home, but only if the survey schedule permitted such a delay Otherwise this was classified as nonresponse 1 Persons living in an institution were not interviewed Living in an institution implies that the individual did not prepare his/her own meals and that he/she had access to care and services Most traditional homes for the elderly are considered institutions, as are hospitals and prisons On the other hand, apartments for retirees that are interspersed with other housing and offer services are not considered institutions, nor are apartment hotels or homes for retirees where the residents have their own apartments and can choose whether to prepare their own meals or to eat in the home s dining room For example: In 1993 a certain household consisted of two people, a man born in 1908 and a woman born in 1918 The man was interviewed as the household head In 1996 the woman was living alone and the man was living in a home for the elderly and was suffering from senility The man was considered out of the population and the woman was interviewed as the new household head ii

9 1996 PANEL SURVEY SURVEY DESCRIPTION The size and nature of nonresponse are shown in the following table 1996 panel Number of respondents in the original sample from 1993: 4187 Out of population, by reason Deceased 68 Moved abroad or living abroad 36 Moved, new address unknown 26 Not member of household 20 Cannot speak Swedish 9 Duplicate 33 Deaf, mute, blind 7 Ill, in hospital or institution 17 Ill, at home 20 Referral to another number 9 Unlisted telephone number 5 No telephone 1 Other reasons 36 Total out of population 287 Actual sample 3900 Nonresponse, by reason Refusal for reasons of privacy etc 10 Refusal, lack of time 8 Refusal on principle 83 Refusal through another person 51 Refusal, participated in earlier surveys 35 Refusal, unable to participate 19 Refusal, not interested 83 Refusal, unspecified reasons 2 Away during field work 10 Not reachable 23 Other reasons for nonresponse 47 Total nonresponse, specified 371 Total nonresponse, unspecified or due to new household 566 Number of interviews conducted 2963 Nonresponse as percent of actual sample 240% Young people and new household members not previously interviewed Number of interviews conducted 276 iii

10 1996 PANEL SURVEY SURVEY DESCRIPTION 13 Registry information In both of the parts of the study -- the panel and supplementary surveys -- respondents were given the choice of either permitting us to take information on income, benefits and taxes from the SCB income registry or providing the corresponding information through interviews and a selfenumerated questionnaire In the data files special indicator variables show which source was used for each respondent In the panel survey we received permission from 759 percent of the respondents to use registry information, in the supplementary survey from 953 percent 14 Data file organization and data access There are two types of data files: rectangular files with cross-sectional information in which each individual constitutes a record, and rectangular files with event-history data, so-called spell files, in which each event or condition constitutes a record The latter files contain dated information to facilitate following a sequence of events, such as an individual s labor market experiences Generally an analysis of this type of file also involves using cross-sectional information on individuals and households This is done by matching the cross-sectional information by using respondent numbers The 1996 data files contain no variables representing sampling weights, and only unweighted frequencies are given in the code book The reasons for this have been given in the documentation to the 1991 survey It is not possible to determine meaningful sampling weights for the panel sample Anyone who is interested in arriving at estimates for finite populations of individuals and households can use the entire 1984 sample, the 1986 supplementary sample and the 1993 supplementary sample Sampling weights for the latter sample can be determined with the help of information on the number of adult household members aged Sampling weights are inversely proportional to this number Note that each analyst needs to consider how to compensate for nonresponse HUS data may only be used for research purposes The data that have been made available to researchers are identified According to Swedish law, it is a criminal offense to use data for other purposes or to attempt to identify the persons originally providing information Researchers desiring access to HUS data can contact either the Swedish Social Science Data Service (SSD), Box 720, SE Gothenburg ( request@ssdguse) or Lennart Flood (address see below) In order to grant access to the data we need a summary of the project in which the HUS data are to be used, as well as a confidentiality agreement signed by all persons who will be using the data In this document the data user agrees to adhere to Swedish laws on confidentiality and data protection and not to pass these data on to third persons The user also agrees to send research reports and other publications based on HUS data to us (Lennart Flood, see address below) Data and manuals are provided at cost Finally, it should be emphasized that despite the fact that the data files have undergone comprehensive checking, errors remain In a survey the size of HUS there will always be some mistakes Accordingly, users are advised always to check their data We are grateful for information on any errors that may show up; such information may be sent to: iv
