title: Survey of English Housing, 2000-2001
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;

title: Reaching and Keeping Tweenagers : 10-14 Year Olds, 2002

description: The 1998 English Church Attendance Survey (SN:4394) found there had been a drastic drop in those, aged under 15, attending the English church in the 1990's. The aim was to discover why they had left and what, if anything, could be done about it. A key finding was the lack of 'fun' in church, the influence of grandparents and the importance of having people in church who understood tweenagers, their values and their language.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The sample of church tweenagers was structured by denomination, churchmanship, environment and area. Other tweenagers were contacted through schools, those which agreed to take part in the survey, clustered in geographical areas close to responding churches. In addition, forms were distributed to various Christian organisations working with young people in this age range.

title: Reaching and Keeping Teenagers : 15-19 Year Olds, 1992

description: The 1989 English Church Census (SN:2842) found there had been a drastic drop in those, aged 15-19, attending the English church in the 1980's. The aim was to discover why they had left and what, if anything, could be done about it. A key finding was the importance of having people in church who understood teenagers, their values and their language.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In order to gauge the views of a wide range of teenage church attenders the sample of church teenagers was structured by denomination, churchmanship, environment and area. The denomination and churchmanship categories were based on an analysis of current teenage church attendance from the English Church Census. Churches were sampled in three areas (the North, South and London). Within these areas churches were sampled in four environments (city centre, suburb, council estate and rural).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Teenagers who were not regular churchgoers were contacted through secondary schools. Schools which agreed to take part in the survey were clustered in geographical areas close to responding churches.

title: Judgement Analysis of the Clinical Policies of Cardiologists, Care of the Elderly Specialists and General Practitioners, 2002

description: The main aims of the study were to measure the extent of any inequalities in treatment between age groups within the NHS in relation to cardiovascular disease, which has multi-risk profiles, involving the use of expensive medical technologies. The objectives were to measure and analyse i) actual decisions and ii) tacit and stated (theoretical) clinical decision policies, in the face of risk of arterial disease by age of the patient.

title: Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People, 2001
title: Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People, 1988-
title: Smoking among Secondary Schoolchildren; Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young Teenagers

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;

title: Impact of the Human Rights Act : a Survey of Local Authorities and Travellers, 2001-2002

description: The research study aimed to examine how the introduction of human rights legislation &lt;br&gt; has impacted upon the way that local authorities approach their duties and provide &lt;br&gt; services, in the necessary move from a duty-based to right-based consciousness and &lt;br&gt; the potential changes that might come about in the measurement of such service &lt;br&gt; delivery, encompassing human as well as monetary costs. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The study's objectives were to: examine, as a case study to test this thinking, the &lt;br&gt; changing nature of the relationship between local authorities, travelling people and the &lt;br&gt; law; collect, from travelling people, information to enable an examination of human &lt;br&gt; rights awareness that can be factored in to an analysis of the approach to 'best value' &lt;br&gt; and the respect of rights; produce a report which can assist and encourage local &lt;br&gt; authorities to build human rights and best value approaches in to their activities; and &lt;br&gt; which can assist local authorities in developing new pro-rights and anti-exclusion &lt;br&gt; strategies while serving best value principles.&lt;br&gt;

title: Scottish Church Attendance Census, 2002
title: Scottish Church Attendance Census, 1984-

description: The aim of the study was to ascertain the number and frequency of people attending church of all denominations in Scotland in 2002. Several denominational changes had taken place in Scotland since the last census in 1994 (SN 4395) and 1984 (SN 2554). Political changes, with the formation of the Scottish Parliament, had brought about boundary changes for many councils, by which church attendance was previously analysed. A combination of denomination, political and population change had necessitated a revision of church attendance. In particular the study was to evaluate if the age structure of churchgoers had altered over the past decade and to establish if the trend in decline in the number of young people attending Sunday worship in England was true of Scotland.&lt;br&gt;

title: Measuring the Fear of Crime with Greater Accuracy, 2002

description: This research project was an attempt to improve upon the current measures of the fear of crime via the design of new survey questions. The fear of crime is an increasingly important measure of citizens' quality of life. The Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions has adopted the fear of crime as a 'Best Value Performance Indicator' and many police services and local community safety partnerships aim to reduce the fear of crime, so need reliable measures of fear. Concerns remain, however, as to the most accurate way of measuring fear of crime in surveys of citizens and residents in local areas. A range of methodological issues have been identified by previous research which cumulatively raise the possibility that the fear of crime has been significantly misrepresented. Many commentators suspect that the fear of crime is being exaggerated by survey research, and this project aimed to develop questions that would redress that. The questions developed were piloted and tested in a survey of British citizens, which revealed that far fewer people frequently experienced crime-related anxieties than had previously been thought to be the case.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A later study on the fear of crime by the same Principal Investigator, based on &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey data&lt;/i&gt; and titled &lt;i&gt;Experience and Expression in the Fear of Crime, 2003-2004&lt;/i&gt;, is held at the UK Data Archive under SN 5822.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Post-communist Elections, 1990-2002

description: Political science has a good understanding of the role of elections and the ways in which the choice of electoral laws help shape a political system. However, since these generalisations were developed in relation to established democratic polities, they may not necessarily apply to newly democratising countries. This project explored the role played by elections in the process of post-communist democratisation by examining the impact of elections on democratic performance, representativeness and policy responsiveness. It will focus on eight core countries, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia and the Ukraine, employing a range of historical, comparative, and quantitative methods to test postulated relationships and identify key causal factors. For certain quantitative purposes the study will use a wider set of 19 countries to test its findings. The project will assess the consequences of different electoral systems, particularly the formulae for converting votes into seats, the criteria laid down for political participation, and regulations governing candidate selection and the conduct of election campaigns.&lt;br&gt; The project led to academic publications that advanced understanding of elections and the electoral process in new democracies. Many theories derived from the study of Western Europe do not apply to new democracies, where the impact of electoral systems is neither immediate nor straightforward, for example mixed systems have led to party fragmentation rather than to the expected party consolidation. The monograph &lt;i&gt;Embodying Democracy: Electoral System Design in Post-communist Europe&lt;/i&gt; is the first comparative explanation of how post-communist countries choose their electoral rules. It demonstrates the importance of context for understanding how actors engage in strategic bargaining.&lt;br&gt; Contact with East European policy-makers provides a practical dimension, both in the conduct of the research and in its ability to make practical recommendations on the modification of electoral laws. The resulting database will constitute an important international resource for academics and practitioners.

title: Survey of Scottish Witchcraft, 1563-1736

description: The project has created a database containing all people known to have been accused of witchcraft in early modern Scotland. There is information on where and when they were accused, how they were tried, what their fate was, and on a wide range of themes relating to social and cultural history. The information was gathered through a survey of secular and ecclesiastical records, central and local. A total of nearly 4,000 people accused of withcraft in Scotland were found between 1563 and 1736 - the period in which witchcraft was a secular crime. After duplicates recorded in previous surveys had been deleted, this makes almost 1,500 new cases of witchcraft accusations.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: English Episcopal Acta, 1064-1305

description: The Episcopal Acta Project collects and edits the surviving charters issued by English bishops from the Norman Conquest to the start of bishops' registers in each diocese. It aims to provide information about the English Church from the eleventh to thirteenth centuries. The Episcopal Acta Database was designed in 1995-6 in conjunction with the British Academy Computing officer. In 2002 a searchable front end was developed.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: National Adult Learning Survey, 2002
title: National Adult Learning Surveys, 1997-
title: NALS

description: In 1997 the former Department for Education and Employment (DfEE) commissioned the first National Adult Learning Survey (NALS 1997), which explored participation in a wide range of learning activities. This was a baseline study followed by repeat surveys in 2000, 2001 and 2002. The NALS series is used by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) to monitor the effectiveness of their adult learning policies and progress in meeting the National Learning Target for adult participation, which aims to reduce the proportion of non-learners found in 1997 by seven per cent, that is, to reduce this group from 26 to 24 per cent by 2002. The survey involves interviewing up to two adults in a household to ask about any learning they have been involved in over the previous three years. A fairly broad definition of learning is used, covering informal and leisure learning as well as courses leading to qualifications. Both taught and self-directed learning are covered by the survey. Information about educational qualifications as well as standard demographic information are also collected.&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;br&gt;
The first survey in the series, NALS 1997 is held at the UK Data Archive under SN:3815, and was conducted by the National Centre for Social Research under its former name, Social and Community Planning Research (SCPR). The second survey, NALS 2000, conducted by Ipsos-RSL, is held under SN:4578. The third survey, NALS 2002, conducted by the National Centre for Social Research is held under SN:4455.&lt;br&gt;

title: Economically Inactive and Unemployed in Britain's Seaside Towns, 2002

description: The aim of the research is to investigate the causes of the high claimant unemployment now found in most of Britain's seaside towns. The project examines the validity of explanations based not only on the decline of the traditional tourist base but also on migration patterns, the operation of the benefits system and housing factors such as the availability of privately rented former seaside accommodation suited to some benefit claimants. The extent to which unemployment in seaside towns differs in origin and nature from that found in other blackspots, such as the cities and coalfields, is being given particular attention. The research blends an analysis of aggregate labour market data on jobs, unemployment, economic inactivity, migration, and commuting, covering all the principal seaside towns across Britain, with a survey of non-employed adults of working age in selected towns.&lt;br&gt; The questionnaire contains some elements which are identical to the survey of Economically Inactive and Unemployed Men, 1997-1998 (SN:4078). Subgroups of this survey can be compared to subgroups from the previous survey.

title: Employers' Workplace Policies in an Environment of Change, 2002

description: The aim is to identify and describe how employers are restructuring work and human resource practices under conditions of persistent environmental turbulence. This climate of change in the workplace has been interpreted as the response of employers to environmental changes in competition, technology and regulation. In the 1980s and much of the 1990s, the dominant external pressure was the rapid increase in international trade and finance, and hence in competition. Salient responses by employers included rationalization, downsizing, de-layering and methods of work intensification and labour cost reduction. It is now widely perceived that this phase has been progressively replaced, since about 1995, by one in which the dominant external pressures (and opportunities) come from new technology (ICT). The scope for business innovation is widening in the wake of the Internet and e-commerce, and organisations are searching for the creative and technical talent, which will permit them to make the shift from cost-competition to knowledge-competition. &lt;br&gt; The regulatory environment has also changed over this period. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the British Government favoured deregulation (or where regulation was increased, as in the case of trade unions, this was to the advantage of employers); and there was strong opposition to the efforts of supranational authorities to regulate the workplace and the employment relationship. In the latter part of the 1990s, however, new regulation of these areas again became prominent, with the national minimum wage and the working time directive being the best-known but by no means the only examples. The re-emergence of regulation reflects the desire of European governments to maintain control of social and employment policy in the face of global competitive pressures and the growth of global businesses. The sample includes establishments with 5 or more employees. Six areas of employer policy have been identified that are likely to shape the workplaces of the future. The six areas of policy that have been chosen to investigate are: organisational and workforce restructuring, reshaping of physical workplaces, the monitoring, reward and control of employees, patterns of communication, working time and family-friendly practices. The research has also been designed to throw light on an overarching theme that unites many of these policy areas: flexibility.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Ethnic Minority Psychiatric Illness Rates in the Community, 2000
title: EMPIRIC; Study of Health and Wellbeing, 2000

description: The overall aim of the &lt;i&gt;Ethnic Minority Psychiatric Illness Rates in the Community&lt;/i&gt; (EMPIRIC) survey was to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity, as measured by standard screening instruments, among minority ethnic populations resident in England, and to compare prevalence rates between groups. Also, the survey aimed to examine use of related services and to examine key factors that may be associated with mental disorder, and ethnic differences in the risk of its contraction.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The sample for the survey was drawn from Black Caribbean, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Irish respondents to the Health Survey for England (HSE) of 1999 (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 4365), which had focused on minority ethnic groups. White adults selected from respondents to the HSE of 1998 (held under SN 4150) were also included in the sample. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In addition to the quantitative survey, which included 4281 respondents, the EMPIRIC study also included a qualitative element. Interviews were achieved with 117 informants, purposively selected from quantitative survey respondents from within each ethnic group, according to CIS-R score. The intention was to investigate the cross-cultural validity of the standard screening instruments, which were designed and validated in a Western context. By encouraging informants to use their own words, the qualitative study explored the terms and definitions that they used to describe mental health. Users should note that only the data from the quantitative survey are currently held at the Archive.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Older People's Experience of Paid Employment : Participation and Quality of Life, 2001-2002

description: This study is part of the Growing Older: Extending Quality of Life research programme funded by the ESRC. This project focuses on the relationship between paid employment and psychological well-being at older ages, addressing the research aims:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Identification of the predictors of quality of life in older adults - particularly the role of paid work;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Identification of the predictors of participation in paid work over age 50;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Identification of mechanisms through which the influence of paid work on well-being may operate. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Previous research indicates the psychological importance of paid work at below retirement age - though the outcomes of unemployment have rarely been studied at older ages. Research, which has taken place, often fails to note that voluntary lack of employment differs from enforced unemployment. In addition to the role of personal choice in employment status, as a predictor of well-being, there are other covariates which need to be accounted for, such as: age, health, gender and marital status. Differences in well-being between employment, unemployment and retirement might also be determined by the environmental features experienced in each of those roles.&lt;br&gt;
