Glasgow Citizens Panel — Aggregate Data Analysis
In July 2003 MORI Scotland was commissioned by Glasgow City Council to recruit and manage a new Glasgow Citizens' Panel. In a departure from methods used in the past, it was decided that the panel would be recruited over a series of waves — a process which is ongoing. Each financial year, two residents' surveys are conducted among representative samples of around 1,000 people in Glasgow with each survey doubling as a panel recruitment exercise. The surveys focus on local services and wider community issues, and the results are used to inform service development. To date (autumn 2005), four waves of the survey have been conducted and a fifth is underway.
