Note, Table 1 below shows the planned additional profile variables that will be included in the final dataset from the panel. These questions come from the panel either from other surveys or from screeners during recruitment of panelists. It is not feasible to modify any of these variables. There is a cost implication for each variable, where each has a price per respondent per wave. We expect that certain basic demographic variables, such as geographic location, and basic operations metadata may be included at no additional cost. |
