Omnibus surveys are multiple-theme surveys aimed at providing quick answers to current questions of interest to policymakers and the scientific and research community. The results are available about six months after the collection of survey data.
Characteristics of the Omnibus survey:
- telephone sample survey of 3000 persons;
- at least one Omnibus survey is conducted every year;
- flexible selection of themes depending on need;
- information on specific themes at the level of Switzerland.
The Omnibus survey provides a flexible tool which is intended to record and respond quickly to public administration, scientific, political and economic needs. The FSO determines the themes for the Omnibus surveys where efforts are made to establish close cooperation with the stakeholders. Scientific and research groups can contribute the survey themes and questions they want, together with the FSO or other federal administrative units.
The Omnibus survey cannot be supplemented.
