An assessment of non-probabilistic online survey data : comparing the carrot rewards mobile app survey to the Canadian community health survey / by Rubab Arim and Grant Schellenberg.: CS11-633/2019-21E-PDF

"The objective of this paper was to assess the sociodemographic and health characteristics of Carrot respondents vis-à-vis the nationally representative sample provided by the 2017 CCHS. The results showed that the characteristics of Carrot and CCHS respondents varied across most sociodemographic and health characteristics. Carrot respondents were disproportionately female, young, single or in a common-law relationship, university-educated, Canadian-born, and residents of larger urban centres. In addition, Carrot respondents assessed their general health, mental health, and sense of community belonging in unfavourable terms relative to CCHS respondents. Moreover, relatively low levels of life satisfaction among Carrot respondents were particularly striking, with this difference remaining even after important covariates were taken into account"--Abstract, page 5.
