Recruitment of a probability-based general population health panel for public health research in Germany: the panel ‘Health in Germany’
The first recruitment study for the 'Health in Germany' panel established one of Europe's largest population-based health panels through a mixed-mode design. Future expansions include regular health surveys, biometric measurements, complementary self-recruitment alongside the probability-based sample, and the development of a mobile survey app.
