TNS NIPO has a database of thousands of screened respondents. For each survey a selection is made from the database and submitted to the respondents. TNS NIPO's goal is to have the respondents surveyed once every six weeks.
TNS NIPO uses software from NIPO Software for its research surveys. The five following methods of research are used:
- CATI: Computer-assisted telephone interviewing
