Implementing and Adjusting a Non-probability Web Survey: Experiences of EVENs (Survey on the Impact of COVID19 on Ethnic Minorities in the United Kingdom)

Natalie Shlomo
Professor of Social Statistics, University of Manchester

This is joint work with Andrea Aparcio-Castro, Daniel Ellingworth, Angelo Moretti, Harry Taylor, Nissa Finney and James Nazroo

We discuss the challenges of implementing and adjusting a large-scale non-probability web survey. For the application, we focus on the 2021 Evidence for Equality National Survey (EVENS) which was led by the Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE) at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, in partnership with Ipsos-MORI. The aim was to understand the impact of the COVID19 pandemic on ethnic and religious minority groups in the UK. Standard probability-based surveys, even with ethnic minority group boosts, do not have the sample sizes required to obtain reliable estimates for small group statistics. We therefore designed a non-probability web survey of ethnic minority groups to overcome these limitations. We formed partnerships with community organizations and used innovative recruitment strategies, including digital and social media. Daily monitoring of the data collection against desired sample sizes and R-indicator calculations allowed the team to focus attention on the recruitment of specific groups in a responsive data collection mode. We also supplemented the sample with existing members in both established non-probability and probability-based panels in the UK. We describe the measures applied to improve the quality of the collected data and the statistical adjustments to correct for selection and coverage biases based on estimating the probability of participation in the non-probability sample using combined probability reference samples followed by calibration to auxiliary information from the UK Census 2021. We demonstrate how a pseudo-population bootstrap approach can be designed to obtain bootstrap weights to allow for statistical analyses and inference.
