The Omnibus Survey, February/March 2002, Travels.

Statistics Norway`s Omnibus Surveys are composed of questions on a variety of topics on behalf of several clients. The surveys consist of a fixed set of background variables in addition to the questions that clients pay for. Some of these questions are almost permanent since they are asked each quarter. This applies to questions about smoking habits and travels. The goal is to develop an omnibus of statistical production and monitoring purposes, that may also be used by public bodies with limited needs for information collection who does not wish to initiate major surveys themselves. Themes and assigners from the Omnibus survey, February/March 2002: 1. The National Council on Tobacco and Health (smoking habits) 2. Statistics Norway (travels last three months) 3. Rockwool Foundation Research Unit (illicit work) 4. Norwegian Ministry of Children and Family Affairs/Day-Care Centres Affairs (attitudes to/buying sexual services) Data from the survey is divided in different datafiles. This datafile includes data on travels, work and voting.
