Coverage and methodology
Panelists are adults recruited through mobile networks, partner referrals and online advertising, and they answer on mobile web or by app. Results are weighted to national statistics on age, gender, region and urban or rural residence. Mobile panels under-represent rural, older and lower-income adults even after weighting, so we publish unweighted bases and flag cells with fewer than 100 respondents. Panelists consent to research use, can leave at any time and are never identified in outputs; we deliver aggregated tables only.
