Executive Summary

 

Background

As noted in the project’s Statement of Work (SOW), Statistics Canada is responsible under the Statistics Act for conducting the Census of Population every five years. By law, completion of a census questionnaire is mandatory for all households in Canada.

 

To promote the 2021 Census of Population, an Integrated Communications Strategy for collection was developed. A mix of outreach activities, including paid advertising, owned, earned, public relations, media relations, and other events were conducted to provide an ongoing presence during the census cycle. These activities were integrated in nature, and designed to deliver maximum impact and message receptivity toward the target audiences.

 

Through a refreshed branding and a nationwide media strategy, Statistics Canada’s advertising campaign deployed products to support field collection activities. The campaign sought to inform Canadians that the census is important, relevant, secure and mandatory. Emphasis was placed on the benefits of the census to individual Canadians and their communities. It encouraged households to complete their questionnaire online.

 

As part of the Integrated Communications Strategy for collection, 2021 Census advertising activities (paid media) sought to support the following key campaign objectives:

 

 

Research Objectives

The purpose of the current research evaluation was to assess the 2021 Census of the Population advertising campaign’s main objectives, identified as recall, recognition, and message retention.

 

Moreover, it was recognized at the outset that this research project may uncover results that may lead to reshaping future advertising campaigns or influencing the Government of Canada’s priorities. These changes may lead to more effective messaging and the delivery of the message to Canadians.

 

ACET evaluations are required to help improve the Government of Canada’s ability to consistently evaluate major advertising campaigns, and to assist departments in complying with a key requirement in the Communications Directive. The following criteria will be used to qualify the effectiveness of the 2021 Census of the Population advertising campaign:

 

1.      Pre-Campaign Evaluation using the standardized Advertising Campaign Evaluation Tool (ACET) baseline or pre-campaign online survey, with the objectives being to assess pre-campaign awareness of the subject matter, including:

·        The unaided and aided awareness of the 2021 Census advertising campaign

·        Aided and unaided awareness of the subject matter

 

2.      Post-Campaign Evaluation using the standardized ACET Post-Campaign online survey, which will assess:

·        The unaided and aided awareness of the 2021 Census advertising campaign

·        The message recall

·        Media platforms on which participants interacted during the campaign

·        The impact of the 2021 Census advertising campaign on each participant

 

Target Population

As specified in the Statement of Work, the target audience of the 2021 Statistics Canada Census ACET was Canadians 18 years of age or older. Quotas were assigned on the basis of region, gender and age. Online surveys of the adult Canadian general public (18+ years of age) were undertaken in two waves with the initial wave conducted from March 1 to 8, 2021, and the subsequent wave conducted from June 14 to 19, 2021.

 

A pre-campaign wave online survey of the Canadian general public required an average of approximately four minutes to administer, for both English and French instruments. The post-campaign wave French and English surveys required an average of eight minutes to administer. The participation rate was 26.2 percent for the pre-campaign or baseline wave, while the post-campaign wave in June achieved a participation rate of 31.7 percent. The email contact records for the research were drawn from panelists administered by The Logit Group of Toronto, Ontario. There was a total of 2,001 useable surveys completed in the pre-wave surveying, and 2,002 surveys completed in the post-campaign wave.

 

Research Usage

As articulated in the Statement of Work, the objective of the research activity was to conduct pre- and post-ad campaign evaluations, demonstrating the degree of effectiveness of the selected advertising campaigns in shifting public attitudes, beliefs and behaviours. These evaluations were designed to measure (and compare) awareness of the subject matter with the audiences in question.

 

Statistic Canada’s goals were to obtain the highest response rate possible for the census to ensure the required quality and precision in population counts, and by implication also the highest rate of self-response to reduce follow-up costs.

 

It is noted in the present Statement of Work that advertising campaign evaluations are mandatory under the guidelines of the Government of Canada, in situations such as the current case, in which a media buy exceeds $1 million.

 

The sought-after pre-and post-campaign ACET-related data collections are used for all major Government of Canada advertising campaigns in order to consistently evaluate these campaigns, as a means of complying with key requirements in the Government of Canada Communications Policy.

 

Given that this online survey methodology used a non-probability sampling approach, the data collected cannot be extrapolated to the Canadian general public adult population 18+ years of age.

 

Expenditure

The survey entailed an expenditure of $53,454.65, including tax.

Appendix A

 

Study Methodology

This evaluation utilized the Government of Canada’s Advertising Campaign Evaluation Tool (ACET) and was administered to a sample of Canadian adults 18 years of age or older. The data collection was conducted in two waves with the initial wave in March 2021 before Statistics Canada’s Census advertising campaign began in April 2021, and the subsequent data collection wave was undertaken in June 2021, after the completion of the advertising campaign. This approach permits a comparison of awareness and opinions over time, as well as a comparison to previous Government of Canada commissioned advertising campaigns.

 

Questionnaire Design

The questions utilized in this study were based on the Government of Canada’s standard Advertising Campaign Evaluation Tool questionnaire. The primary difference between the online ACET survey questionnaire and the previously utilized telephone ACET survey questionnaire, was that in the online approach implemented in the present study, the survey respondents are aided in their ad recall by way of being shown on-screen one or more advertisements from the recent Statistics Canada advertising campaign. However, no ads were displayed in the pre-campaign wave as the pre-advertising survey was aimed at assessing recall and opinions prior to the new 2021 advertising campaign. In the post-campaign wave the respondents were shown a series of ads (out of home, print, video and radio) from the advertising campaign.

 

Additionally, respondents who self-identified as Indigenous and/or who indicated they reside in Nunavut, Northwest Territories or Yukon, were also shown a subset of radio and print advertisements targeted to Indigenous residents, and Northern residents. The respondents were subsequently asked a series of questions about the advertisements. This aiding of respondents by showing an ad drawn from the advertising campaign is a process that is possible with an online survey methodology. Narrative Research ensured that respondents were able to complete the survey on various platforms including computers, tablets and smartphones.

 

As required by Government of Canada standards, English and French pre-test surveys were collected in both pre-campaign and post-campaign survey waves. As well, a line of questioning was included at the end of the pre-test surveys in which respondents were asked if they encountered any questions or survey wording that was difficult to understand. No pre-test respondents expressed difficulty in understanding any of the survey questions. As a result, no pre-test respondent was asked to identify which question or questions were problematic from a comprehension perspective.

 

Sampling

The survey approach utilized was designed to be administered to an online general public panel sample of approximately 2,000 Canadian adults age 18 or older. Narrative Research ensured that the surveys collected closely reflected the actual, true adult Canadian general population in terms of gender and age group and by region, as required by the project’s Statement of Work.

 

Specifically, to ensure robust samples that approximate the true population parameters for age (18-34, 35-54, and 55+), gender (male/female), and region (Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, MB/SK/NU, AB/NT, BC/YT), data collection quotas were implemented. Age and gender quotas were implemented per region, and statistical weighting of the survey data was implemented to adjust for any differences between the target data collection quotas, on the one hand, and the actual distribution of survey completions, on the other hand.

 

Contact Records Source

Narrative Research utilized the services of The Logit Group for this research. The Logit Group’s online general population panel is comprised of over 600,000 Canadian residents nationally, with sound representation across regions. Logit Group panelists are recruited from a large number of sources to maximize reach and representation.

 

The recruitment policies of The Logit Group’s partners (SSI, Toluna, Asking Canadians, and Research Now) are broad in scope. Survey data quality rests on many different factors, including sourcing of panelists who are vetted, using ongoing quality checks such as eliminating panelists who are no longer active, and so forth. The following are panel member sources for Logit Group studies:

·        Email invitations: pre-authorized to opt in lists from associations and groups

·        Social Media: advertising and social groups on leading social media platforms

·        Media Platforms: advertising on online media platforms both niche and mainstream

·        Use of major recruiting brands

·        Loyalty programs

·        Targeted audiences

·        Web and social networking sites

·        Targeted emails by The Logit Group’s online partners to their members or subscribers

·        Referral programs

 

The Logit Group has established a variety of quality assurance processes to proactively identify invalid respondents. For example, the company has incorporated methods to quickly identify and flag straight-lining speedsters (i.e., respondents who give the same responses to all questions as a means of quickly finishing the survey), thereby monitoring whether panelists are able to provide thoughtful and accurate responses to survey queries.

 

Panel members are monitored against Statistics Canada data to gauge statistical representation. Annual profile refreshing campaigns are conducted to incentivize panelists to remain active; these can also contain new questions in order to target specific niche audiences more precisely. Panelists’ participation is rewarded with their choice of HBC Rewards bonus points, Aeroplan Miles or Petro Points, as well as various prizes.

 

The sampling procedure reflected a computerized randomization of online panel members, with exclusions from the randomization process being based upon, for example, whether a panelist had received his/her monthly maximum number of survey invitations.

 

Survey Administration

Survey Programming and Testing

 

The online survey was programmed by Narrative Research in both English and French, using Voxco Acuity programming software. Respondents were formally invited to the survey in the official language of their choice. As well, at any point when completing the questionnaire, respondents had the option to change the questionnaire language to the other official language. Assistance in completing the survey was available from bilingual Narrative Research staff, as required. Respondents were able to verify the legitimacy of the survey via representatives from Narrative Research, or via the survey registration system made available through the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC), Canada’s national research sector agency. The programmed survey was tested to ensure question order and skip patterns were properly implemented. Testing included Narrative Research researchers receiving the invitation via email just as a respondent would, to ensure accuracy of delivery, text, links, and so on. Statistics Canada staff were also provided with the pre-test link.

 

A total of 52 English and 21 French pre-tests were completed in the pre-campaign wave in March 2021, and 96 English and 11 French pre-tests were completed in the post-campaign wave in June 2021. These pre-test survey completions were conducted via a survey “soft launch” whereby a small number of panel respondents were invited to participate in the survey. The pre-testing of the survey allowed the collected data to be reviewed to ensure accuracy and to identify any programming aspects that should be modified. Pre-test respondents were asked if they had any difficulty understanding any aspect of the survey. No one replied in the affirmative. No substantive data quality issues arose as a result of the pre-test, and thus the pre-test data was maintained in the final data set.

 

Data Collection

 

Unlike telephone surveys which typically occur with new respondents being contacted throughout the specified data collection time period, in online surveys of the type implemented in the present case, the preponderance of respondents are notified within a short period, for example, at the end of the advertising campaign being assessed. Reminder notices were forwarded to these sampled respondents until such time as the target number of survey completions had been achieved. This data collection approach offers a timing advantage in contacting respondents shortly after the campaign has ended.

 

This study consisted of a pre-campaign wave administered between March 1-8, 2021, followed by the post-campaign wave administered between June 14-19, 2021. The survey invitations as well as reminder invitations were sent to panel members during the data collection period. Fieldwork was monitored and reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure target quotas were being met. Narrative Research provided regular reports to Statistics Canada representatives regarding progress. Given that single use unique survey links were distributed to prospective respondents, no individual was able to complete the survey questionnaire more than once.

 

In the pre-campaign wave of surveying, a total of 2,030 surveys were submitted by respondents, and 2,001 were ultimately used in the final data set. In the post-campaign wave, a total of 2,047 surveys were submitted by respondents, 2,002 of which were useable. It is important to note that for various reasons, a small percentage of submitted online panel surveys is often removed from study data sets after submission. Such was indeed the case in both the pre- and post-campaign waves, as Narrative Research’s initial quota targets exceeded the overall final requirement of 2,000 questionnaires. Thus, given the unavoidable possibility of having to remove surveys, post collection, Narrative Research as a precautionary measure collected more than the initially targeted number of surveys in both waves. Reasons for removing surveys ultimately included respondent “speedsters” who were deemed to have moved too quickly through the questionnaire, consistently non-intelligible verbatim responses, and duplicate IDs. Thus overall, a small number were removed in the pre-wave (n=29), and in the post-wave (n=45).

 

The surveys from the pre-campaign wave required a mean average of approximately four minutes for respondents to complete, and the post-campaign wave required approximately eight minutes to complete on average. A non-probability sample approach was implemented given that the study was designed to be conducted among Canadian general public online panelists. All such panels are inherently non-probability in nature, given that panelists self-select to become members of such panels, and not all adult Canadians belong to such a panel. The tables below for the pre-campaign and post-campaign surveys display region, gender, and age data in terms of the actual distribution of adult Canadians as catalogued in the 2016 Statistics Canada Census.

 

As well, approximate regional, gender, and age quota targets per wave are detailed (both in terms of the actual number of surveys completed, and the percentage of all surveys completed). The tables on the pages below present data with the weighted and unweighted number as well as percentage of surveys collected, for relevant demographic dimensions for each wave.

 

Pre-Campaign Wave (March 2021)

 

Data Tabulation: There were a total of 36 overlapping or interlocking statistical weighting cells created from the study design using the weighting factors of: Region (6: Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, MB/SK/NU, AB/NT, and BC/YT); Age group (3: 18–34, 35–54, and 55+); Gender (2: Male, Female). The 36 overlapping or interlocking statistical weighting cells thus were derived from Region (6) x Age (3) x Gender (2) dimensions = 36 unique statistical weighting cells. Population data for the 36 statistical weighting cells were obtained from the most recent (2016) Census of Canada, and can be found here:

 

 

With such a large number of weighting cells, it was necessary to combine specific cells due to the fact that sample sizes for specific cells were small or empty, and therefore would have led to quite large weights if left separate. Combining weighting cells is a common approach in such instances, and it explains why the final weighted data distribution differs slightly from the actual population distribution, along certain dimensions.

 

Nonetheless, it is suggested that the quantitative impact of implementing this approach was very modest, thereby recommending the specific statistical weighting approach as helpful. It should also be noted that a small number of individuals were not able to be placed into one of the 36 weighting cells due to the fact that they identified as gender diverse. For tabulation purposes, these individuals were given a statistical weight value of 1.0.

Given that the online methodology utilized a non-probability sample, a margin of error cannot be applied to the results as per the Standards for the Conduct of Government of Canada Public Opinion Research for Online Surveys.

 

Post-Campaign Wave (June 2021)

 

Data Tabulation: At the data tabulation phase of the project, a decision was made to not combine the small number of northern territory respondents, with adjacent provincial respondents (e.g., Alberta and NWT were no longer tabulated in tandem). The impact of this decision was to allot the North a separate geographic tabulation column in the final banner tables. Accordingly, there were a total of 42 overlapping or interlocking statistical weighting cells created using the weighting factors of: Region (7: Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, MB/SK, AB, BC, and North); Age group (3: 18–34, 35–54, and 55+); Gender (2: Male, Female). The 42 overlapping or interlocking statistical weighting cells thus were derived from Region (7) x Age (3) x Gender (2) dimensions = 42 unique statistical weighting cells. Population data for the 426 statistical weighting cells were obtained from the most recent (2016) Census of Canada, and can be found here:

 

 

With such a large number of weighting cells, it was necessary to combine specific cells due to the fact that sample sizes for specific cells were small or empty, and therefore would have led to quite large weights if left separate. Combining weighting cells is a common approach in such instances, and it explains why the final weighted data distribution differs somewhat from the actual population distribution, along certain dimensions. Nonetheless, it is suggested that the quantitative impact of implementing this approach was modest, thereby recommending the specific statistical weighting approach as helpful. It should also be noted that a small number of individuals were not able to be placed into one of the 42 weighting cells due to the fact that they identified as gender diverse. For tabulation purposes, these individuals were given a weight value of 1.0.

Reminders were distributed to potential respondents who were invited to complete a survey, but who chose not to do so. Given that the online methodology utilized a non-probability sample, a margin of error cannot be applied to the results as per the Standards for the Conduct of Government of Canada Public Opinion Research for Online Surveys.  

 

Non-Response Bias Analysis

Any survey that is conducted is potentially subject to bias or error. When a survey is conducted with a sample of the population, there are two general classes of bias or error: sampling error, which is quantifiable, and non-sampling error, which is typically not quantifiable. Sampling error arises from the fact that interviews are conducted with only a subset of the population, and thus is it possible that the results obtained from this group of respondents is not reflective of the population as a whole.

 

In contrast, non-sampling error encompasses a number of different types of errors including coverage error, measurement error, non-response error, and processing error.

 

No measurement of sampling error can be attributed to the current study, given that the contact records utilized in the data collection process were derived from an online panel of the general public, which is to say, a non-probability sample source. Having stated that, measures were taken in the implementation of the data collection to ensure sufficient completed surveys were obtained from demographic groups traditionally regarded as central in quantitative survey research, such as gender, age, and region/province. The final data set for each survey wave was statistically weighted to closely match the distribution of these dimensions as estimated in the 2016 Statistics Canada census. The statistical weights implemented were relatively small, given that the data collected already mimicked the actual distribution of adult Canadians along these demographic dimensions.

 

With respect to non-sampling error, a number of steps were taken to minimize bias due to these sources. All surveys utilized online interviewing technology to ensure proper survey skip patterns were followed and to minimize errors due to data entry and data capture. The French and English survey instruments from each campaign themselves were pre-tested with a small sample of respondents to ensure the survey material was easily understood by respondents, and that the resultant data were being captured properly. In terms of coverage, the surveys were conducted with an online panel of the Canadian general public 18 years of age or older, based on a randomized sampling of panel records for the target audience drawn from a commercially available online general public panel.
