About

Every year a lot of surveys are being conducted in the Netherlands and enormous amounts of data are collected. Data collection organizations like DANS and Centerdata are involved in the dissemination of these data and metadata through freely accessible archives. These archives allow you to browse and search for data you need for your research. Most of these data archives allow you to download the data, codebooks etc. at no cost.

The next step in the availability of all these data for you as a researcher, is to have it all in one place. Survey Data Netherlands allows you to browse all the different sources that are stored in different physical locations with one click. At the moment limited search for keywords is also possible. This search functionality will be extended in the near future. When you have found what you are looking for, you can browse to the corresponding archive to look at or download the data.

The goal of the Survey Data Netherlands website is to bring survey data and metadata from all different sources into one website. In addition to the website, Survey Data Netherlands provides a one-stop service for research projects for the dissemination and long-term preservation of survey data. If you want your survey data to be part of Survey Data Netherlands, please contact us.

The LISS panel (Longitudinal Internet Studies for the Social sciences) is the principal component of the MESS project. It consists of 5000 households, comprising 8000 individuals. The panel is based on a true probability sample of households drawn from the population register by Statistics Netherlands. Households that could not otherwise participate are provided with a computer and Internet connection. A special Immigrant panel is available in addition to the LISS panel. This Immigrant panel is comprised of around 1600 households (2400 individuals) of which 1100 households (1700 individuals) are of non-Dutch origin.

Panel members complete online questionnaires every month of about 15 to 30 minutes in total. They are paid for each completed questionnaire. One member in the household provides the household data and updates this information at regular time intervals. View here an example of the questionnaire screen.

Half of the interview time available in the both the LISS and Immigrant panel is reserved for the LISS Core Study. This longitudinal study is repeated yearly and is designed to follow changes in the life course and living conditions of the panel members. The other half of available interview time per year can be used to collect one's own data. This is cost-free for researchers at universities and scientific institutes. Researchers from the Netherlands and abroad are free to submit a survey proposal.

The LISS panel has been in full operation since October 2007. The Immigrant panel is operational since October 2010. The data from both panels are available through this website and through the LISS data archive.

Patient Reported Outcomes Following Initial treatment and Long term Evaluation of Survivorship (PROFILES)’ is a registry for the study of the physical and psychosocial impact of cancer and its treatment from a dynamic, growing population-based cohort of both short and long-term cancer survivors. Researchers from the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Centre and Tilburg University in Tilburg, The Netherlands, work together with medical specialists from national hospitals in order to setup different PROFILES studies, collect the necessary data, and present the results in scientific journals and (inter)national conferences.

Scope, rationale and design of PROFILES were published in the European Journal of Cancer, May 2011: The Patient Reported Outcomes Following Initial treatment and Long term Evaluation of Survivorship registry: Scope, rationale and design ofan infrastructure for the study of physical and psychosocial outcomes in cancer survivorship cohorts.

Changing jobs, having children or growing older, all these life changes influence the ways in which people travel. But what exactly has changed? Do people travel more or less for work or leisure activities? Do they switch to other transport modes? And how do other developments, such as Facebook and Twitter, impact car use? With the Netherlands Mobility Panel, these and other questions are answered by the KiM Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis of the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, Goudappel Coffeng consultancy firm, and the University of Twente, in order to render the Netherlands even more accessible.

The Dutch Parliamentary Election Studies (DPES) are a series of national surveys carried out under the auspices of the Dutch Electoral Research Foundation (SKON). These surveys have been conducted since 1970. Many questions are replicated across studies, although each has questions not asked in the others. The major substantive areas consistently covered include the respondents' attitudes toward and expectations of the government and its effectiveness in both domestic and foreign policy, the most important problems facing the people of the Netherlands, the respondents' voting behavior and participation history, and his/her knowledge of and faith in the nation's political leaders.

The goal of the Cultural Changes study in the Netherlands is to monitor the opinions among the Dutch population about society and culture, and to examine how these have changed in the course of time. The research is based on survey questions from a number of studies that were held before 1975 and is repeated every two years since 1999. The sample is chosen such that the net response lies around 2000 people.
