title: Vital Statistics for England and Wales: Conceptions by Ward, 1994-1997
title: Vital Statistics for England and Wales, 1981-
title: Conw.94 - Conw.97

description: The purpose of the &lt;i&gt;Vital Statistics for England and Wales&lt;/i&gt; data is to record the numbers of conceptions, live births, stillbirths, deaths and causes of death for persons in England and Wales, by gender and age. Data are available at local authority, health authority and ward level. Individual studies in the series record various parts of these data. Changes have been made over time to the way in which the Office for National Statistics (ONS) collects vital statistics data, resulting in some variation in the content of later studies in the series. Further information may be found in the &lt;i&gt;Key Population and Vital Statistics&lt;/i&gt; reports available from the ONS web site.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
During 2006, Sam Smith and colleagues at ESDS Government carried out work on various studies in the series prior to 2002, to improve the data format. The resulting files have been redeposited at the UKDA. More information is available in the documentation for the studies concerned.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 The data cover conceptions in 1994-1997, aggregated at ward level, which led to maternities or to abortions under the 1967 Act. They do not include conceptions resulting in spontaneous miscarriages during the first 23 weeks of gestation (data for these are not collected centrally) nor any illegal abortions.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For the second edition (August 2006), work was carried out on the data by ESDS Government (see above) to produce more user-friendly tab-delimited ASCII files. The data are also now available in Excel, SPSS and Stata in addition to the previous ONS ITELite format.&lt;br&gt;

title: Selected Labour Market Data from the BHPS, 1999

description: The research project looked at whether jobs that were prone to accidents (and therefore put workers at greater risk of being physically hurt) offered higher wages as compensation. This hypothesis was tested using a wages equation. If economic theory is correct, it would be expected that jobs which are more prone to accident would indeed offer a higher wage.

title: Survey of English Housing, 1993-2008
title: SEH

description: The &lt;i&gt;Survey of English Housing&lt;/i&gt; (SEH) was a continuous annual survey series, which began in 1993. The survey provided key housing data on tenure, owner occupation and the social rented sector, and regular information about the private rented sector. The survey was originally sponsored by the Department of the Environment, which became the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions in time for the 1996-1997 survey, then the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions, by 2000-2001. Responsibility for the SEH was transferred to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister after the fieldwork for the 2002-2003 survey commenced, and on 5 May 2006 the series became part of the remit of the newly-established Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The main aims of the SEH were to provide regular information about the main features of people's housing and their views about their circumstances, and information about the private rented sector (not covered by routine administrative statistics like the owner-occupied and social rented sectors).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
From 2008, the SEH merged with the &lt;i&gt;English House Condition Survey&lt;/i&gt; (EHCS) to form the new &lt;i&gt;English Housing Survey&lt;/i&gt; (EHS). The last SEH dataset is the 2007-2008 study. The EHS data are available at the UK Data Archive under GN 33422.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Further information about the SEH and the EHS may be found on the DCLG web site &lt;a href="http://www.communities.gov.uk/housing/housingresearch/housingsurveys/surveyofenglishhousing/" title="Survey of English Housing"&gt;Survey of English Housing&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.communities.gov.uk/housing/housingresearch/housingsurveys/englishhousingsurvey/" title="English Housing Survey"&gt;English Housing Survey&lt;/a&gt; web pages.&lt;br&gt;
 A set of questions on air quality was also included in the 1998-1999 survey, asked on behalf of the Building Research Establishment.&lt;br&gt;

title: Advertising and Industry Dataset, 1999

description: The 1999 Advertising and Industry survey project sought to establish a new dataset that provides information on the advertising practices of a large sample of UK firms. Data of this kind would facilitate research into a wide range of topics dealing with the advertising decision, advertising intensity, motivation for advertising and the relationship between advertising and entry. The survey also sought to address the growth of Internet advertising and the conjectured actions of rival companies. &lt;br&gt; Although advertising has long been seen as an important topic of analysis in industrial organisation, the limited availability of good quality data on advertising particularly at the level of the firm continues to pose a considerable barrier to researchers. There is no comprehensive, primary source of firm level advertising data in the UK and this is a serious problem for firm and industry level models in which advertising is a key variable.

title: NILT

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey&lt;/em&gt; (NILT) series began in 1998, and was the successor to the previous Northern Ireland Social Attitudes series, which was discontinued in 1996.&lt;br&gt;The main aims of the NILT series are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to facilitate academic social policy analysis;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;NILT originally had a companion series which also began in 1998, the &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Young Life and Times Survey&lt;/a&gt; (YLT), although the YLT methodology changed in 2003 and it is conducted separately each year. The &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Kids' Life and Times&lt;/a&gt; (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) is also part of the same suite of surveys as YLT and NILT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NILT also forms part of the &lt;a title="International Social Survey Programme" href="http://www.issp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;International Social Survey Programme&lt;/a&gt; (ISSP), although it does not do so every year. Unfortunately, NILT did not run in 2011 due to funding issues, though YLT ran as normal that year; NILT resumed in 2012 (SN 7408). In addition, several &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;open access teaching datasets&lt;/a&gt; were created by ARK (Access Research Knowledge) from various years of NILT, covering different topics such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues, politics and community relations, attitudes to ageing and ageism, and dementia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;



&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information about the series may be found on the ARK &lt;a title="NILT" href="http://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;NILT&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;/p&gt;

title: National Study of Health and Growth, Phase III : 1982-1994 (Years 11-23)
title: National Study of Health and Growth, 1972-

description: Following changes in the provision of welfare, school milk and school meals in 1971, studies were set up to assess the possible effects of these changes upon the nutritional state of the population. The aim of the National Study of Health and Growth (NSHG) was to set up an anthropometric system of surveillance on selected growth, nutritional and health characteristics that could identify the effects of the changes in food policy. Height was chosen as the main indicator of nutritional status together with weight and triceps skinfold thickness. The primary aim of the study was to estimate trends in anthropometric measurements for children of the same age. Although changes in rate of growth at a given age may occur over time, the main question to be answered was whether there had been any overall shift in the position of the growth curve.&lt;br&gt;
 The aim of the third phase of the study (phase III) was to continue with the collection of basic information for monitoring the nutritional status and growth of primary school children, with the additional information for associated studies, as in phase II. By 1982, however, it was apparent that the sample did not achieve the weighting towards poorer children originally intended. In addition, it under-represented inner urban areas and the Scottish sample was too small for separate age/sex group analysis. In order to include a sample from inner city areas and ethnic minorities, and increase the Scottish sample, but at the same time maintain the longitudinal element from the first two phases of the study, a second sample was recruited. A two-year cycle was introduced, with the existing areas being surveyed every even year and a new inner city/enhanced Scottish sample being surveyed every odd year.&lt;br&gt;
From 1992 onwards (phase IIIb), in addition to the basic monitoring of health and growth, the study aimed to explore more details of children's food intake, and the level of fitness of the older children in the study.&lt;br&gt;

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Young Life and Times Survey&lt;/em&gt; (YLT) originally began as a companion survey to the &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040"&gt;Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey&lt;/a&gt; (NILT) series. It surveyed young people aged 12-17 living in the households of adults interviewed for NILT, and YLT ran alongside it from 1998-2000. Following an evaluation in 2001, the YLT series recommenced in 2003 (see SN 4826) using a completely different methodology and independent of the adult NILT. This new YLT survey uses Child Benefit records as a sampling frame.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The aims of the YLT series are to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;facilitate academic social policy analysis; provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;give a voice to young people.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;


&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An open access time-series teaching dataset has been created from the 2003-2012 YLTs - see SN 7548.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Kids’ Life and Times&lt;/a&gt; (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) is also part of the same suite of surveys as YLT and NILT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information about the YLT, including publications, may be found on the Access Research Knowledge (ARK) &lt;a title="Young Life and Times Survey" href="http://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/ylt/index.html"&gt;YLT&lt;/a&gt; webpages.&lt;/p&gt;

description: The aim of the investigation was to assess if there were visual field biases (taken to be reflective of hemispheric processing asymmetries) in infant response to colour in terms of (1) visual 'attention' (detection and orientation) and (2) memory (storage and retrieval). The particular objectives of the study were to conduct two experiments to ascertain (respectively) if infants displayed (1) preferential orientation to and (2) preferential recognition for colours presented in the left visual field (LVF) relative to those in the right visual field (RVF), indicating a right-hand advantage in the response to colour, of the kind observed for adults.

title: Contribution of Newspaper Images to Public Dialogue About Education, 1999

description: The project was based upon the view that messages about education, communicated publicly in newspapers are made up of images and texts. These messages can be narrative in form, a dialogue or representative of a particular standpoint. They are placed in a physical, social and political context and contain recognizable public figures. The purpose of this research was to examine the messages national newspapers communicate and to collect the educational images (e.g. photographs, cartoons, drawings etc.); the texts which accompany them (e.g. headlines, sub-headings, reports and articles etc.); and by using teacher focus groups to see how these influence teachers' construction of dialogue. The dataset contains information collected by questionnaires distributed to teachers in the North West of England.

title: Adult Dental Health Survey, 1998
title: Dental Health Surveys, 1988-
title: ADHS

description: The &lt;i&gt;Adult Dental Health Survey&lt;/i&gt; (ADHS) is carried out every ten years, and investigates people's dental health, their experiences of dental care and their access to dental services. The survey results provide important information about the dental health of the nation. This information helps health authorities to effectively plan local dental services and shows the extent to which government dental health targets are being met. The results from the different surveys can be compared to allow changes over time to be understood.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The first survey was conducted in 1968 in England and Wales. Similar surveys were also conducted in Scotland in 1972 and in Northern Ireland in 1979. The second ADHS was conducted in England and Wales in 1978. None of these earlier surveys are available from the UK Data Archive. The third survey was conducted in 1988 and was extended to include adults in Scotland and Northern Ireland providing estimates for the whole of the United Kingdom (available from the Archive under SN 2834). The fourth was conducted in 1998 (available under SN 4226) and also covered the whole of the UK. The latest survey in the series took place in 2009 and was carried out in England, Wales and Northern Ireland only (available under SN 6884).&lt;br&gt;
 The purpose of the &lt;i&gt;Adult Dental Health Survey, 1998&lt;/i&gt; was to provide information on the current state of adults' teeth and oral health in the four countries of the UK, and to measure changes compared with previous &lt;i&gt;Adult Dental Health Surveys&lt;/i&gt;. Sampled adults (aged 16 years and over) were interviewed, and those with some natural teeth took part in a home dental examination. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The specific aims of the survey were:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;to establish the condition of natural teeth and supporting tissues by dental examination&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to investigate dental experiences, attitudes and knowledge, dental care and oral hygiene&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to establish the state and use made of dentures worn in conjunction with natural teeth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to identify those who have lost all their natural teeth and investigate their use of dentures&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to examine the change over time in dental health, attitudes and behaviour&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to monitor the extent to which oral health targets set by government are being met.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;For the second edition (October 2013), following requests from users, the depositor has added some additional variables to the data file, namely NS-SEC full and simplified analytical classes for individuals where derivation was possible. An updated disclosure control evaluation was also carried out, which has resulted in some variables being removed (e.g. all string variables, age in years) and other variables banded where appropriate (e.g. age, income).&lt;br&gt;

description: The 1998 'Young People's Social Attitudes' survey is an off-shoot of the 1998 'British Social Attitudes' survey (held at the UK Data Archive under SN:4131). It was designed to explore the attitudes and values of children and young people and make comparisons with those held by adults in 1998 and with other young people interviewed on the 1994 'Young People's Social Attitudes survey'(held under SN:3629). All young people aged 12-19 living in households of BSA respondents were approached for interview.
