Description

In the autumn of 2023, the eighth edition of the Gothenburg SOM survey was conducted. A total of 9000 randomly selected citizens of Gothenburg answered questions about attitudes and habits in relation to society, opinion and media. Many of the questions in the Gothenburg survey are of a regional nature, and concern local politicians and infrastructure initiatives.

The dataset has changed somewhat in relation to the codebook, in order to reduce the risk of re-identification. The following changes have been made:
Variables removed: mtidn1, gbgprob_txt, anparti, trygg_txt, ansex_txt, anspraak, angrupp, f51, f64, ssyk, ssyk96, mellanomr20, mellanomr, sdn
Variables added: samhällsgrupp
Variables aggregated: f58, f55c
