title: Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey, 2015
title: Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey, 2002-
title: SALSUS

description: The &lt;i&gt;Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey&lt;/i&gt; (SALSUS) is the primary source of data on substance using behaviour among young people in Scotland. SALSUS comprises a long running series of national surveys of young people's substance use. From 1982 to 2000 these surveys were carried out jointly in Scotland and England to provide national information on smoking behaviour (from 1982), drinking behaviour (from 1990) and drug use (from 1998). In 2002, Scotland introduced its own (SALSUS) survey which provides national policy makers with vital information to help develop and evaluate policies to reduce the prevalence of substance use in Scotland and to monitor progress towards achieving Scottish Government targets. Every four years the survey also provides information on substance use for local areas. These data are used to help inform local service planning, for example, to develop Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) strategic and delivery plans and to monitor progress towards achieving a number of the ADP core indicators. All SALSUS datasets are available via the UK Data Archive.&lt;br&gt;

title: Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial on the Impact of Cash-Based Interventions on Nutrition Status in Mothers and Children from Poor Households in Pakistan, 2015-2016
title: REFANI Pakistan Study

description: The &lt;I&gt;Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial on the Impact of Cash-Based Interventions on Nutrition Status in Mothers and Children from Poor Households in Pakistan, 2015-2016&lt;/I&gt; study is one of three similar studies conducted under the Research on Food Assistance for Nutritional Impact (REFANI) consortium (2014-2017).&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;br&gt;
The aim of REFANI is to ensure more effective humanitarian interventions by strengthening the evidence base on the impact of cash and voucher-based food assistance to prevent under nutrition in emergencies.&lt;br&gt;
The main objectives are to:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create high-quality, relevant research that fills gaps in the evidence base;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make results accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ensure successful uptake of REFANI research by key stakeholders in policy and practice. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Cash-based interventions (CBIs) (cash and vouchers), offer an interesting opportunity to prevent increases in wasting in humanitarian settings. However, there is a dearth of evidence as to the impact of CBIs on nutrition status in emergency settings.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The Pakistan study evaluated three different CBI modalities on nutritional outcomes in children under five years of age in the short (6 month) and the medium terms (1 year). The data is from a four-arm (including a control arm) parallel longitudinal cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) conducted in 114 villages in Dadu District, Pakistan. Data was collected at 7 time points: baseline and then every month for 5 months (during the intervention disbursement period-2015), and than 6 months later (1 year after baseline-2016). Dadu was chosen because about 68% of the population is classified as poor and very poor and have limited access to land so are dependent on incomes from casual labour or self-employment; 90% of these households are reliant on markets for food purchase all year. As a consequence very poor households do not typically meet the average daily recommended caloric intake.

title: Local Alcohol Consumption Survey, 2016

description: The Local Alcohol Consumption Survey was designed as a pilot covering a sample of Local Authorities (LAs) which were chosen to provide coverage of all regions and types of LA. There is an absence of reliable information at LA level about alcohol consumption, primarily because of the prohibitive cost of collecting this data for all LAs. The primary aims of the survey were to provide reliable consumption estimates for a large sample of LAs and to provide a mechanism for validating other modelled estimates of alcohol consumption by LA. Data for 25 LAs were collected by Ipsos MORI under contract to Public Health England between 29 February and 25 April 2016.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A report based on the survey is available on the GOV.UK &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-alcohol-consumption-national-survey-results" title="Local alcohol consumption: national survey results"&gt;Local alcohol consumption: national survey results&lt;/a&gt; webpage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

title: Management Practices Survey, 2015: Secure Access
title: MPS

description: The &lt;i&gt;Management Practices Survey&lt;/i&gt; (MPS) is a voluntary pilot survey of British manufacturing businesses to gather information on the use of structured management practices. The primary purpose of the survey is to provide greater insight into variations in productivity across businesses, and whether management practices play a role in these variations. The MPS was created to gather data on management practices in British manufacturing firms and allow for analysis against productivity data obtained using linked data from the &lt;i&gt;Annual Business Survey&lt;/i&gt; (ABS, UK Data Archive SN 7451).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Audit of Political Engagement 14, 2017
title: Audit of Political Engagement, 2003-
title: APE14

description: The &lt;i&gt;Audit of Political Engagement&lt;/i&gt; is a time-series study providing an annual benchmark to measure political engagement in Great Britain, gauging public opinion about politics and the political system, and more broadly the general health of our democracy. Each Audit report presents the findings from a public opinion survey, providing detailed commentary on a range of measures that have been chosen as key measures of political engagement. Repeating questions in successive years enables us to chronicle the public’s responses year on year and track the direction and magnitude of change since the Audit was first published in 2004, building trend data on public attitudes to key aspects of our democracy. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The Audit looks at core inter-locking areas that are known as vital facets, or 'building blocks', of political engagement. Given the multi-dimensional nature of political engagement, the indicators chosen are not exhaustive, but in capturing aspects of public behaviour, knowledge, opinions, attitudes and values towards politics they help us understand the drivers of political engagement and the relationships between them. Across the Audit series several 'core' indicator questions have been asked each year, supplemented by a range of thematic and topical questions, some of which are re-visited on two- or three-year cycles.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Further information about the survey series is available from the Hansard Society &lt;a href="https://www.hansardsociety.org.uk/research/audit-of-political-engagement" title="Audit of Political Engagement"&gt;Audit of Political Engagement&lt;/a&gt; webpages.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 The &lt;i&gt;Audit of Political Engagement 14, 2017&lt;/i&gt; was conducted by Ipsos MORI between 2 December 2016 and 15 January 2017 with a representative quota sample of adults aged 18 and over across Great Britain. Booster samples were included to make comparisons between England, Scotland and Wales, and between the white and black and minority ethnic (BME) populations, more statistically reliable. The data can also be weighted to match the national population profile. The 14th Audit took place after the European Union referendum of 23 June 2016 which was the biggest democratic event that has taken place in the 14-year life of this Audit study and one of the biggest in British electoral history.&lt;br&gt;

title: Financial Capability Survey, 2015
title: Financial Capability Survey, 2015-

description: &lt;p&gt;The Financial Capability Survey is a nationally representative survey of UK residents, commissioned initially in 2005 by the Financial Services Authority and then from 2015 onwards by the Money and Pensions Service (formerly the Money Advice Service), to support the development and delivery of the &lt;a href="http://www.fincap.org.uk/" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Financial Capability Strategy for the UK.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Financial Capability Survey, 2015&lt;/span&gt; updates the evidence base on UK Financial Capability established by the &lt;i&gt;Financial Capability Baseline Survey, 2005&lt;/i&gt;, held under SN 5697. The questionnaire and methodology have been modified since 2005, so there is limited scope for comparisons over time. The intention is to repeat the survey in 2018. Further information about the 2015 survey can be found on the Financial Capability website &lt;a href="http://www.fincap.org.uk/financial-capability-survey" title="Financial Capability Survey"&gt;Financial Capability Survey&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The dataset contains the core UK data from the 2015 survey. This includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland interviews conducted as part of the core UK survey. Additional booster interviews were conducted in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, but these are not included at present. It is hoped that additional data files for each of the three devolved nations will be deposited in future, which will include the full dataset for each including interviews conducted as part of the core UK survey and the additional booster interviews. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the second edition (August 2017), separate datasets for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and accompanying documentation were added to the study. Additional booster interviews were conducted in the three devolved nations as part of the study. The new datasets include data for the interviews conducted in each country as part of the core UK survey, as well as the booster interviews. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

title: Evaluation of the Frontline Fast-Track Social Work Training Programme Pilot, 2016

description: The &lt;I&gt;Evaluation of the Frontline Fast-Track Social Work Training Programme Pilot, 2016&lt;/I&gt; study is a quasi-experiment involving simulated social work practice that was independently rated by assessors. The dataset includes information about participants’ educational backgrounds and other circumstances and self-evaluation by students, as well as the ratings of assessors.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Frontline is a fast-track social work training programme for England whose pilot phase runs from 2013-2017 with around 230 trainees in the first two cohorts. It is focused on statutory children’s social care in local authorities. It aims to attract graduates with strong academic records and excellent interpersonal skills and the training model is distinctive in being heavily practice-based, using a systemic model and two specific evidence-based practice approaches. The scheme has proved controversial amongst social work educators.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In 2014 the Department for Education (DfE) commissioned Cardiff University to undertake an independent evaluation of the Frontline scheme. The performance of Frontline participants was compared to social work students on mainstream programmes, based at several universities. The results of the evaluation have been published by the DfE.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Given the controversial nature of the scheme, the evaluation team believe it is important to share the simulated practice data. The data will allow researchers to replicate the analysis conducted for the DfE-funded evaluation. Since Frontline selected its participants from a large pool of applicants and with a higher minimum qualification threshold than mainstream programmes, there is likely to be some selection bias affecting the evaluation results. Non-random selection is also a common issue when assessing many other social interventions. To this end, the DfE-funded evaluation attempted to reduce these biases through matching. However, other researchers may wish to address this issue via other means using the same data.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the Frontline independent evaluation can be found on the &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/frontline-pilot-independent-evaluation" target="_blank"&gt;gov.uk&lt;/a&gt; webpages.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Scottish Social Attitudes Survey, 2015
title: Scottish Social Attitudes Survey, 1999-
title: SSA

description: The &lt;i&gt;Scottish Social Attitudes&lt;/i&gt; (SSA) survey was launched by ScotCen Social Research (formerly the Scottish Centre for Social Research) in 1999, following the advent of devolution. Based on annual rounds of interviews of between 1,200 to 1,500 people drawn using probability sampling (based on a stratified, clustered sample), it aims to facilitate the study of public opinion and inform the development of public policy in Scotland, similar to the &lt;i&gt;British Social Attitudes&lt;/i&gt; (BSA) series (held at the Archive under GN 33168). The SSA survey has been conducted annually each year since 1999, with the exception of 2008. The survey has a modular structure. In any one year it typically contains three to five modules, each containing 40 questions. Funding for its first two years came from the Economic and Social Research Council, while from 2001 onwards different bodies have funded individual modules each year. These bodies have included the Economic and Social Research Council, the Scottish Government and various charitable and grant awarding bodies, such as the Nuffield Foundation and Leverhulme Trust. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Further information on the SSA and links to publications may be found on the ScotCen Social Research &lt;a href="https://natcen.ac.uk/search?series%5B43%5D=43" title="Scottish Social Attitudes" target="_blank"&gt;Scottish Social Attitudes&lt;/a&gt; webpages.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 The 2015 survey contained modules of questions on Attitudes to Discrimination, Attitudes to Government, Attitudes to Social Capital and Attitudes to Minimum Unit Pricing (funded by Scottish Government) and on Language Learning (funded jointly by Scottish Government, University of Edinburgh and Scottish Centre for Information on Language Teaching).
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For the second edition (August 2017), the module on Attitudes to Policing was added to the data. The documentation has been updated accordingly.

title: Gaming and Betting Study: Survey of Loyalty Card Customers, Waves 1 and 2, 2014-2016

description: The &lt;I&gt;Gaming and Betting Study: Survey of Loyalty Card Customers, Waves 1 and 2, 2014-2016&lt;/I&gt; was commissioned by the Responsible Gambling Trust (now GambleAware), as part of a programme of research looking at users of machines in bookmakers. This programme aimed to examine whether industry data generated by machines in bookmakers could be used to distinguish between harmful and non-harmful patterns of play.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A baseline survey of people who had a loyalty card for Ladbrokes, William Hill or Paddy Power was conducted in 2014. The survey included questions about gambling behaviour and questions which measured whether someone was a problem gambler or not. Permission was sought to link participant’s survey data with their loyalty card data (this is not included in the deposited dataset). Overall, 4,727 people took part in the survey and 4,001 people agreed that their survey responses and their loyalty card data could be linked. Data was collected either via a web survey or a telephone interview.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A follow-up study was commissioned in 2016 to explore changing patterns of gambling behaviour over time, examine changes in problem gambling behaviour, and identify who is more likely to change problem gambling status. Telephone interviews took place between May and August 2016 and total of 1552 full interviews were obtained.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This study contains the data for all individuals who gave a full interview at both waves.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Lifestyle Matters Study, 2011-2015

description: Background: Healthy, active ageing is strongly associated with good mental wellbeing which in turn helps to prevent mental illness. However, more investment has been made into research into interventions to prevent mental illness than into those designed to improve mental wellbeing. This applied research programme provided high quality evidence for an intervention designed to improve and sustain mental wellbeing in older adults. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Methods/Design: This study was a multi-centre, pragmatic, two-arm, parallel group, individually randomised controlled trial to determine the population benefit of an occupational therapy based intervention for community living people aged 65 years or older. Participants (n = 268) were identified in one city in the North of England and in North Wales through GP mail-outs, signposting by local authority, primary care staff and voluntary sector organisations and through community engagement. Participants were randomised to one of two treatment arms: an intervention (Lifestyle Matters programme); or control (routine access to health and social care). All participants were assessed at baseline, 6 and 24 months post-randomisation. The primary outcome was the SF-36 Mental Health dimension at six months post randomisation. Secondary outcome measures were selected to measure psychosocial, physical and mental health outcomes. They included other dimensions of the SF36, EQ-5D-3L, Brief Resilience Scale, General Perceived Self Efficacy Scale, PHQ-9, de Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale, Health and Social Care Resource Use and the wellbeing question of the Integrated Household Survey 2011. A cost effectiveness analysis investigated the incremental cost per Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) of the Lifestyle Matters intervention compared with treatment as usual.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information can be found on the Sheffield University &lt;a href="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/scharr/sections/dts/ctru/lifestyle_matters" title="Lifestyle Matters"&gt;Lifestyle Matters&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Commercial Victimisation Surveys, 2002-
title: CVS

description: &lt;div&gt;The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Commercial Victimisation Survey&lt;/span&gt; (CVS) is a survey of the extent of crime and crime related issues experienced by business premises in England and Wales. It provides additional detail on the extent of crime to be used alongside the other main sources of information on crime. These are the &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=200009" target="_blank"&gt;Crime Survey for England and Wales&lt;/a&gt; (CSEW) (formerly the British Crime Survey), which covers crimes against private individuals and households, and the &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables" target="_blank"&gt;Police Recorded Crime&lt;/a&gt; statistics, which cover crimes reported to the police. In common with the CSEW, the CVS also includes crimes that are not reported to the police. The Police Recorded Crime data tables are available from the GOV.UK website.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The CVS was previously run as a standalone survey in 1994 and again in 2002. The CVS was then run as an annual publication from 2012 onwards. A break occurred from 2019 to 2021 where CVS underwent a re-design following a consultation, where the coverage of the survey was expanded to cover all commercial business premises. A standalone CVS was run in 2021, covering only the Wholesale and Retail sector, to provide insights on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Further information on the CVS, with links to findings by year, can also be found on the GOV.UK &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/crime-against-businesses" target="_blank"&gt;Crimes against businesses statistics&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
