SURVEY METHODOLOGY
- A total of n=1,002 online surveys were conducted among Albertans aged 18 or older via Leger’s LEO panel.
- The survey was conducted from June 2 to 5, 2023, using computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) technology.
- Using data from the 2021 Census, the results were weighted according to age, gender, region and education in order to ensure a representative sample of the population.
- As a non-random internet survey, a margin of error is not reported. If the data were collected through a random sample, the margin of error for a sample size of n=1,002 would be ±3.1%, 19 times out of 20.
