title: Siyakha Nentsha: Enhancing the Health, Economic and Social Capabilities of Highly Vulnerable Young People, 2008-2011

description: Siyakha Nentsha (SN) was a randomised experiment that targets young people in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. The program addressed the real-life economic, social and health challenges young people encounter on a daily basis. The educational programme developed for the intervention was accredited by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA, the national government body that accredits education and training curricula) meaning that not only will young people who complete the program have received valuable skills, but that they have documentation of these skills that can be used in future job searches. Siyakha Nentsha was delivered in secondary schools during school hours. It was led by young adult mentors who were chosen from the local community and received extensive training. Sessions with students occurred 2-3 times per week and each was approximately one hour in length. The long-term objective of the programme is to improve lifelong functional capabilities and well-being of adolescent females and males who face high risks for HIV, teenage pregnancy, school dropout, and unemployment, coupled with the actual or potential loss of one or both parents. The skills are geared to help offer protective strategies against HIV and mechanisms for coping with and mitigating the impacts of AIDS, with the long-term goal of building economic, social and health assets.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The study has three intervention arms: control, partial intervention and full intervention. These arms were randomised at the classroom level for 10th and 11th graders in Round 1 in seven secondary schools. One school that received a delayed intervention served as the control sample. The two versions of the intervention differ in that the full version includes HIV/AIDS education, social capital building, and financial capabilities, whereas the partial version omits the financial capabilities component. The study began in January 2008 and lasted for 36 months, with measures on individual students at baseline and post-intervention. The number of individuals who were part of at least Round 1 or Round 2 is 1,307. Individuals can be uniquely identified with the variables qnum (round 1) and IDNUM (round 2).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information may be found on the ESRC &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-183-25-0010/read" title="Enhancing the economic, health and social capabilities of highly vulnerable youth"&gt;Enhancing the economic, health and social capabilities of highly vulnerable youth&lt;/a&gt; award webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Media Systems, Political Context and Informed Citizenship: a Comparative Study, 2010

description: These data comprise the British component of a collaborative project across eleven nations, aimed at exploring two main lines of enquiry - the influence of media organisation on the supply of news, and the influence of the external context on the demand for news - in order to understand the conditions that sustain or impede informed citizenship. In the process, this shed light on the different 'diets' of news that countries consume, the influences that drive and deter people from following the news, and the factors that contribute to informed democracy. This was achieved by combining a quantitative content analysis of news provision in each country, with a survey questionnaire fielded to a representative sample of the population (in Great Britain, the sample comprised 1,000 respondents). For the British content analysis component, news material was collected during four non-consecutive weeks in May-June 2010 from two major newspapers ('The Daily Telegraph' and 'The Sun', two major television news programmes (BBC1 'News at Ten' and ITV 'News at Ten') and the second most popular news website, &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk" title="The Guardian"&gt;The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the project including links to publications may be found on the ESRC's &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-000-22-3863/read" title="Media Systems, Political Context and Informed Citizenship: A Comparative Study"&gt;Media System, Political Context and Informed Citizenship: a Comparative Study&lt;/a&gt; award webpage. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Scottish Social Attitudes Survey, 2010
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;

&lt;br&gt;
 The 2010 survey was the 11th wave in the series. The sample included a boost of addresses in remote and rural parts of Scotland.&lt;br&gt;

title: Prices Survey Microdata, 1996-2024: Secure Access

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Prices Survey Microdata&lt;/i&gt; include the underlying price data used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to produce the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), the Retail Prices Index (RPI) and associated price indices. The CPI has become the main domestic measure of inflation for macroeconomic purposes in the UK. Since December 2003 it has been used for the inflation target that the Bank of England is required to achieve. The RPI is the most long-standing measure of inflation in the UK, and its uses have included the indexation of pensions, state benefits and index-linked gilts. The study also includes the data underlying the Producer Prices Index.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
There are four levels of sampling for local price collection: locations/shopping areas; outlets/shops within locations; representative items/goods and services; and products and varieties (price quotes).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
There are two basic price collection methods: local and central. Local collection is used for most items; prices are obtained from outlets in about 150 locations around the country. Some 110,000 quotations are obtained by this method. Normally, collectors must visit the outlet, but prices for some items may be collected by telephone. Central collection is used for items where all the prices can be collected centrally by the ONS with no field work. These prices can be further sub-divided into two categories, depending on their subsequent use: 1) central shops, where the prices are combined with prices obtained locally, and 2) central items, where the prices are used on their own to construct centrally calculated indices. There are about 130 items for which the prices are collected centrally.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The retail price data include the locations containing the shopping outlets from which the price quotes were obtained. These locations are intended to be broadly representative of a central shopping area and the areas where the local shopping population tend to live. The data also include the regions in which those shopping areas are located.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The producer prices 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;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Latest edition information&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the 36th edition (September 2025), monthly Item Indices and Price Quotes data files for April to October 2024, and accompanying variable catalogues, have been added to the study.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Occupational Coding for the National Child Development Study (1969, 1991-2008) and the 1970 British Cohort Study (1980, 2000-2008)
title: Occupation Coding (SOC2000); NCDS and BCS70

description: The coding of employment occupation data from the &lt;i&gt;National Child Development Study&lt;/i&gt; (NCDS) and the &lt;i&gt;1970 British Cohort Study&lt;/i&gt; (BCS70) was undertaken as part of the project &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-060-23-0011/read" title="An Examination of the Impact of Family Socio-economic Status on Outcomes in Late Childhood and Adolescence"&gt;An Examination of the Impact of Family Socio-economic Status on Outcomes in Late Childhood and Adolescence&lt;/a&gt;, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Researchers from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), based at the University of Bristol, worked on data from selected waves of the NCDS and BCS70. To create occupational code classifications, the computerised questionnaire response text strings were converted into comma separated value (CSV) files and processed using the CASCOT (Computer Assisted Structured COding Tool) software programme, which used automatic and semi-automatic processing to assign Standard Occupational Classification 2000 (SOC2000) codes (SOC2000) to entries. For further details, see the documentation.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Information on the BCS70 and NCDS series may be found on the Institute of Education &lt;a href="http://www.cls.ioe.ac.uk/" title="Centre for Longitudinal Studies"&gt;Centre for Longitudinal Studies&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Longitudinal Dental Treatment, 1990-2006

description: The &lt;i&gt;Longitudinal Dental Treatment&lt;/i&gt; dataset traces the National Health Service (NHS) primary care dental treatments for a c.5% cohort of patients treated in England and Wales between 1990 and 2006. The dataset is intended to be used primarily as a resource for academic research. The dataset was originally developed by NHS Dental Services, now part of the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), but has since been transferred to the Information Centre for Health and Social Care (HSCIC).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This cohort study ceased collection of data in 2006 with the introduction of the 2006 NHS Dental Contract. The 2006 contract required a different national minimum dataset and there is currently no ongoing data collection for the original cohort of this study, nor any current plans for a similar exercise.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Data formats:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; Users should note that due to the size of the data files, only SPSS and ASCII .dat versions are available; Stata versions have not been created.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Work-Life Balance Study, 2006: Employees' Survey
title: Work-Life Balance Studies, 2000-
title: WLB3

description: In 2000, the Government launched the Work-Life Balance Campaign, targeting employers to promote the benefits of flexible working for all employees. Although this campaign was not specifically aimed at parents or carers, the legislation restricted rights to apply for changes in the hours, timing or place of work to those employees with caring responsibilities. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The then Department for Education and Employment (later the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) and now the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)) carried out the first &lt;i&gt;Work-Life Balance Survey&lt;/i&gt; (WLB1) in 2000 (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 4465). It was used to assess how far employers operated work-life balance practices and whether employees felt that existing practices met their needs. The first survey was followed up in 2003 by a second survey, a two-part survey of employees and employers (WLB2) (held under SNs 5079 and 5080) and by a third wave in 2006 and 2007 (WLB3) (held under SNs 7028 and 5787). The fourth employee survey was carried out in 2011 (held under SN 7112) and the fourth employers survey was completed in 2013 (held under SN 7775).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 The main aims of the WLB3 Employees' Survey were to:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;establish the extent to which employees perceive the provision of work-life balance practices as inclusive&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;ascertain the demand for work-life balance practices&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;assess take-up of work-life balance practices including reasons for non-take-up (e.g. impact on job security and promotion)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;ascertain employee views on the detrimental effects of flexible working&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;establish the extent to which work-life balance practices meet employee needs, including their views on the feasibility of their employer extending these arrangements&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;establish how, and to what extent, employees are informed of, and are involved in, the development and implementation of the various work-life balance arrangements, including whether there are procedures in place for taking their views into account&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

title: Researchers of Tomorrow, 2009-2011
title: RoT

description: &lt;i&gt;Researchers of Tomorrow&lt;/i&gt; (RoT) was a three-year study, sponsored by the British Library (BL) and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). The study was carried out by Education for Change, with The Research Partnership. The study tracked a cohort of 70 young 'Generation Y' doctoral students (the children of the 'Baby Boomers'), defined in this study as those born between 1982 and 1994. The students were based at UK colleges and universities. The study used quantitative context-setting surveys and qualitative research to examine the students' information-seeking behaviour, analysing their habits in online and physical research environments and assessing their usage of library and information sources on- and off-line. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The study aimed to establish a benchmark for research behaviour against which subsequent generations of scholars can be measured. Its ultimate aim is to provide guidance to academic institutions, libraries and information specialists on how best to meet the research needs of Generation Y scholars and their immediate successors. The main focus areas of the study were:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;mapping emerging research behaviour trends across the main subject disciplines&lt;li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;investigating how doctoral scholars, in particular those from Generation Y, seek information both on- and off-line&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;measuring the relative use of digital resources and physical resources (including research spaces)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;understanding how Generation Y students search for and use digital content for research, and &lt;li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;if and how they use emergent technologies to do so.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Further information on the project may be found on the Education for Change &lt;a href="http://explorationforchange.net/index.php/rot-home.html" title="Exploration for Change: Researchers of Tomorrow"&gt;Exploration for Change: Researchers of Tomorrow&lt;/a&gt; and the JISC &lt;a href="http://www.jisc.ac.uk/news/stories/2009/11/generation.aspx" title="Mapping the needs of a generation"&gt;Mapping the needs of a generation&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The UK Data Archive holds data from the three context-setting surveys spanning 2009-2011, but does not currently hold any qualitative materials from the study.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Merged Dataset for Transition to and Income from Self-Employment/Business Ownership: British Household Panel Survey, 1991-2008
title: Income from Self-Employment: Development of an Innovative Life Course Model

description: This dataset, comprising a subset of a large-scale longitudinal study, the &lt;i&gt;British Household Panel Survey&lt;/i&gt; (BHPS) (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 5151), was created as part of a study that examined the life course of the entrepreneur. Variables from the BHPS that were of interest in studying various aspects of accumulation and application of resources over the life course of the entrepreneur, their household and their business, were compiled and studied in relation to transition into and income/earnings from self-employment/entrepreneurship. A final dataset was created by merging data from Waves 1-18 of BHPS, using the BHPS person identification number (PID). In order to integrate individual and household life course events and resources, original BHPS household data files were also merged with the individual level data following a match of the PID and the BHPS household identification number (XHID). This merged file will benefit research into entrepreneurship and self-employment that takes a life course approach.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information may be found on the ESRC &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-000-22-3185/read" title="Income from Self-employment: Development of an Innovative Life Course Model"&gt;Income from Self-employment: Development of an Innovative Life Course Model&lt;/a&gt; award webpage.

title: Impact of Retail Pricing on Overeating and Food Waste, 2010-2011

description: This project examined supermarket pricing behaviour in respect of special offers designed to appeal to consumers to encourage them to make additional purchases, which in turn might lead to consumers overeating (and thus exacerbating obesity problems in the United Kingdom population) or wasting uneaten food products (and thus exacerbating household food waste problems in the UK). The data produced result from the analysis of summarised data on different types of pricing offers made by four UK supermarket retailers, covering weekly collected price data from their websites for a one year period running from August 2010 to August 2011, in total covering 1,287,714 pricing observations. The price data covered special offers and the summary aggregate data was based on the research team's own calculations of special offers offered by the supermarkets across a broad group of products.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information may be found on the ESRC's &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-000-22-3524/read" title="The Impact of Retail Pricing on Overeating and Food Waste"&gt;The Impact of Retail Pricing on Overeating and Food Waste&lt;/a&gt; award webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Factors in the Outcomes of the Resettlement of Homeless People, 2007-2010
title: FOR-HOME

description: The FOR-HOME longitudinal study collected information about the experiences of 400 homeless people who were resettled from hostels and other temporary accommodation into independent tenancies in London, Leeds, Nottingham and Sheffield during 2007-09. Interviews were conducted at three points: during 2007-10 just before they were rehoused, and then six and 15/18 months later. The study’s aims were: &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;to discover the ways in which homeless people adjust to being rehoused, the problems that they face and how these are overcome, and the outcomes in terms of tenancy sustainment, housing satisfaction, well-being, and achieved levels of independence&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to identify the personal, service-related (preparation and follow-up) and accommodation-related factors that influence resettlement outcomes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to produce policy and practice recommendations and guidelines.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;After 15/18 months, 80% of the respondents were still housed (including a few who had changed tenancies), but 10% had been evicted or abandoned their accommodation (half of these were known to have returned to the streets or a hostel). Many experienced difficulties in the early months with equipping their new accommodation and with managing finances. During this time, however, only half received help from tenancy support workers, and the allocation of this help was unrelated to needs. Over the first six months, the prevalence of having debts increased, but the average value of the debt decreased. Incomes were very unstable, even among the employed, because most were in insecure jobs with fluctuating hours and pay rates. Overall the early findings indicated that resettlement for homeless people has positive outcomes, and eviction/abandonment rates are low. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; further information may be found on the ESRC's &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-062-23-0253/read" title="Factors in the Outcomes of the Resettlement of Homeless People"&gt;Factors in the Outcomes of the Resettlement of Homeless People&lt;/a&gt; award webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
