This autumn, Rogaland County Council and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) are carrying out a survey in the county. The survey maps health, wellbeing and quality of life among residents. Around 80,000 randomly selected individuals will receive an invitation to take part. If you have received an invitation by SMS, we hope you will take part in the survey.

If so, you have been randomly selected to participate in the Public Health Survey in Rogaland 2026. Your responses will help provide a more accurate picture of how people in Rogaland are doing.

The aim of the survey is to learn more about health, quality of life and the local environment among adults living in Rogaland. People’s own experiences and perceptions are important when the county council and the municipalities develop services and initiatives to make Rogaland an even better place for everyone to live.

About the survey

The survey is conducted by FHI in collaboration with Rogaland County Council. Those invited to participate are randomly selected from the National Population Register among residents of Rogaland aged 18 and over.

The survey asks about health, wellbeing, the local environment, quality of life, and other factors important for public health in the county. The results will be used to support public health work where you live.

Results will only be published at group level, which means that you cannot be identified in analyses or reports. The data collected will also be used for research that can generate new knowledge about health, wellbeing and the factors that influence them. All responses will be stored securely and in accordance with privacy regulations.
