title: Employment, Retention and Advancement Programme: Public Use File, 2004-2010

description: The UK Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) programme sought to improve the labour market prospects of low-paid workers and long-term unemployed people. Launched in 2003 in selected Jobcentre Plus offices, which administer Government cash benefits and employment services, the programme was envisioned as a 'next step' in British welfare-to-work policies.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Over 16,000 people from six regions of Britain (East Midlands, London, North East England, North West England, Scotland, and Wales) applied to the programme. In order to test conclusively whether or not ERA really helped those who volunteered for it, half were randomly assigned to the programme, and the remainder served as a 'business-as-usual' control group – a counterfactual, which did not receive any assistance from ERA and thus provided a benchmark indicating what would have happened in the absence of the ERA programme. By randomly dividing the sample into these two groups, the study was able to test conclusively whether or not ERA helped its participants work more, earn more, advance further, and achieve better outcomes in other areas than they would have without ERA's help. The evaluation also included an assessment of the programme's implementation, a cost-benefit analysis, and several special studies.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) oversaw the overall implementation and evaluation of the programme. A research consortium carried out the study. The consortium was headed by MDRC (headquartered in New York City), and in Britain it included the Policy Studies Institute, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, and the Office for National Statistics. A subsidiary goal of the project was to help build capacity in Britain to conduct randomised trials of promising social innovations. This was accomplished through direct collaborative work between the US and British research partners and DWP, and also through broader US-UK learning exchanges involving practitioners and researchers.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Behaviours and Attitudes of the Fuel Poor in England, 2015

description: The &lt;I&gt;Behaviours and Attitudes of the Fuel Poor in England, 2015&lt;/I&gt; survey is part of a programme of research into the behaviours of the fuel poor that was commissioned to build on the existing evidence base and understanding of fuel poverty and inform policies to tackle fuel poverty.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The research findings help to better understand who the fuel poor are, how their experiences might differ from those not in fuel poverty, and how this impacts on, or is impacted by, energy and heating use in their homes. The research also explored issues such as engagement with energy consumption and bills, relationships with energy providers and landlords, and where the fuel poor seek support and advice. This helps to gauge levels of understanding of energy efficient initiatives and measures and highlights effective communication channels for interacting with this important population.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; More information about this programme of research can be found on the Gov.uk &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/research-into-the-behaviours-and-attitudes-of-the-fuel-poor-in-england" target="_blank"&gt;Research into the behaviours and attitudes of the fuel poor in England&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: National Survey for Wales, 2012-

description: &lt;p&gt;The Welsh Government's &lt;em&gt;National Survey for Wales&lt;/em&gt; covers a random sample of 12,000 adults a year (aged 16+) living in private households across Wales. The survey provides representative, reliable and up-to-date information about the people of Wales down to local authority level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The survey began in 2012. In 2015 it was reviewed the decision was taken to amalgamate five large scale social surveys that were carried out in Wales into one. From 2016-17 onwards the National Survey for Wales was expanded to include topics previously covered by the Welsh Health Survey, Active Adults Survey, Arts in Wales Survey, and Welsh Outdoor Recreation Survey.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The aim of the survey is to provide representative, reliable and up-to-date information about the people of Wales down to local authority level. Prior to March 2020, the survey was carried out face-to-face in respondents’ homes. Since May 2020 onwards, the survey has been carried out by telephone. Topics were updated monthly and results published monthly for May to September 2020; from October, topic updates and publications switched to quarterly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The survey continued in telephone mode for 2021-22 onwards, with an online element added from July 2021.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information is available on the &lt;a href="https://gov.wales/national-survey-wales"&gt;Welsh Government National Survey for Wales&lt;/a&gt; webpages.&lt;/p&gt; Starting with the National Survey for Wales 2016-17, the survey design covers the topics of five predecessor surveys and has therefore a longer interview than previous years.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

description: The &lt;I&gt;Cambridge Centre for Business Research National Survey of Knowledge Exchange Activity by United Kingdom Academics, 2012-2015&lt;/I&gt; collected information on how UK academics in all universities and all disciplines interacted with private, public and charitable organisations in the three calendar years (2012, 2013 and 2014) prior to the survey and to establish how these interactions are perceived within academia.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This survey was conducted by a team drawn from the Centre for Business Research at the University of Cambridge, Imperial College Business School and the University of Bath School of Management and it updates the results and analysis of an earlier survey of UK academic engagement with external organisations (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 6462). The original web-based survey attracted over 22,000 responses. The latest survey received 18,177 responses. These are the two largest research and knowledge exchange surveys ever completed of a national Higher Education System.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the project is available from the &lt;a href="http://www.ncub.co.uk/reports/national-survey-of-academics.html" target="_blank"&gt;National Centre for Universities and Business National: Survey of Academics&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Wellcome Trust Monitor Waves 1-3 Combined Adults Data, 2009-2015
title: Wellcome Trust Monitors, 2009-
title: WTM

description: The &lt;i&gt;Wellcome Trust Monitor&lt;/i&gt; is a unique survey of UK adults' (and in some waves, young people's) views around science and biomedical research. The findings are representative of the UK population and provide fresh and significant insights to inform science communication practice and how research priorities might be shaped, building a better understanding of the social context of biomedical research. The survey is repeated every three years and a large proportion of the questions recur in each wave. The aim of this tracking survey is to build a high-quality evidence base that explores trends and variations across time on both general scientific and medical themes and specific societal issues. This robust study also seeks to develop a more systematic approach to describing and understanding current interest in, attitudes towards and knowledge of science and biomedical research. There is flexibility within each wave to include a number of additional questions to explore new and topical areas of interest. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Further information is available from the &lt;a class="external" href="http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/About-us/Publications/Reports/Public-engagement/WTX058859.htm" title="Wellcome Trust Monitor"&gt;Wellcome Trust Monitor&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt;

 The &lt;i&gt;Wellcome Trust Monitor Waves 1-3 Combined Adults Data, 2009-2015&lt;/i&gt; contains adult data from the Waves 1, 2 and 3 of the &lt;i&gt;Wellcome Trust Monitor&lt;/i&gt;. The combined dataset excludes young people who were interviewed in Waves 1 and 2 and contains only questions that were asked in more than one Wave. The individual Wave data files are available separately from the UK Data Archive from: SN 6889 for Wave 1, SN 7315 for Wave 2 and SN 7927 for Wave 3.&lt;br&gt;

title: Professional Education, Global Professional Service Firms and the Cultures of Professional Work in Europe, 2009

description: Global accountancy, architecture and legal professional service firms (PSFs) play a vital role in the global economy and facilitate cross border business. Their operations are, however, complicated by the fact that the home-country, predominantly US and UK, professional cultures, practices and institutions are very different to those encountered elsewhere. This project seeks to examine the way global PSFs manage such differences through the use of selective recruitment and professional education. The project uses a case study of English global law firms in Europe because of their expansive globalization strategies in the region. The project will: (1) examine the selective recruitment strategies of firms and analyse trends in relation to the universities and countries of education preferred by firms through a survey of the qualifications and biographies of partners working in the European offices of English global law firms; (2) analyse the role of in-house training programmes, as well as 'preferred' external training providers, in the management of professional cultures through interviews with partners, associates and training managers in England, Germany and Italy; (3) investigate the implications of the training programmes used by firms for the regulation of professional education through interviews with training providers and regulators of professional education.

title: Gender Equality Network: Gender Division of Labour Interviews, 2005-06

description: This project explored how changes in the gender division of labour within both employment and the family (re)structure gender and class inequalities. This was done through case studies of four feminised, or feminsing, sectors and professions (retail, banking accountancy and medicine). These case studies in particular looked at how occupations and professions have responded and developed with the entry of women (from a gender perspective). The original sample aimed to include 90 face-to-face interviews with men and women with children under the age of 12, however 89 interviews with men and women with children under the age of 14 were conducted. NVivo was used to analyse the qualitative data. A new 2006 dataset was developed from a sample of 1845 men and women (834 men and 1011 women) from the larger sample in the British Social Attitudes survery (BSA) which incorporates the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP). This new dataset included a total of 142 different variables.

title: Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People, 2016
title: Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People, 1988-

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People&lt;/i&gt; surveys began in 1982, under the name Smoking among Secondary Schoolchildren. The series initially aimed to provide national estimates of the proportion of secondary schoolchildren aged 11-15 who smoked, and to describe their smoking behaviour. Similar surveys were carried out every two years until 1998 to monitor trends in the prevalence of cigarette smoking. The survey then moved to an annual cycle, and questions on alcohol consumption and drug use were included. The name of the series changed to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young Teenagers&lt;/span&gt; to reflect this widened focus. In 2000, the series title changed, to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People. &lt;/span&gt;NHS Digital (formerly the Information Centre for Health and Social Care) took over from the Department of Health as sponsors and publishers of the survey series from 2005. From 2014 onwards, the series changed to a biennial one, with no survey taking place in 2015, 2017 or 2019.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In some years, the surveys have been carried out in Scotland and Wales as well as England, to provide separate national estimates for these countries. In 2002, following a review of Scotland's future information needs in relation to drug misuse among schoolchildren, a separate Scottish series, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey&lt;/span&gt; (SALSUS) was established by the Scottish Executive.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; The &lt;I&gt;Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People, 2016&lt;/i&gt; is the latest in a series of surveys that measures the prevalence of smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and illicit drug use among 11 to 15 year olds in England. The survey collects detailed prevalence data as well as associated contextual information, including relevant attitudes, beliefs and knowledge.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The sample size for 2016 was larger than previous surveys which enabled the sample to be split in two with one half of the sample answering the more detailed questions on smoking and drinking and the other half answering the more detailed questions on drugs.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
