title: Health Education Population Survey, 2005
title: Health Education Population Survey, 1996 -
title: HEPS

description: NHS Health Scotland is the national agency for health education in Scotland, providing leadership for health promotion in Scotland. Its remit includes:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;educational action to strengthen individuals' knowledge, skills and capabilities&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;building the capacities of systems which shape the social, environmental and economic conditions which create and sustain health&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;NHS Health Scotland is also committed to measuring the effectiveness of its activities and commissions research to provide reliable evaluation evidence and to inform the development of programmes. As part of this research programme, BMRB Social Research were commissioned to conduct the first &lt;i&gt;Health Education Population Survey&lt;/i&gt; (HEPS) every March and September from March 1996 until March 1999 (seven waves in total). The resulting data, covering all three years, are held at the UK Data Archive as a single study under SN 4949. The second and following HEPS surveys were then conducted every March and September until September 2005 (ten waves in total), with two waves comprising each yearly dataset (see SNs 4950-4952, 5202 and 5470). Fieldwork was then commissioned for a further four waves, with waves eleven and twelve (conducted January-April and August-December 2006) comprising the 2006 dataset, held under SN 5713. These were followed by waves thirteen and fourteen (conducted January-April and August-November 2007) and are held under SN 6023.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The main objectives of HEPS are as follows:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;to monitor trends in health-related attitudes, knowledge, beliefs and behaviours, and to assess the impacts of specific activities&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;contribute to planning and development of health promotion initiatives through the inclusion of more detailed modules on topical issues&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;In the longer term, HEPS aims to develop a strategic view of how and where health promotion activity may be most effective. This can be achieved in the following ways:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;identifying levels of knowledge regarding the main causes of ill-health&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;identifying salient attitudes with respect to health and means of improving health&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;identifying levels of motivation with respect to behaviour change to improve health&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;developing an understanding of how such indicators may be expected to vary between different population groups&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;developing an understanding of individual patterns of health-related attitudes and behaviour and their relationship to the broader socio-cultural environment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;developing an understanding of specific areas of interest&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br&gt;

title: Misreported Schooling and Returns to Education, 1958-1991

description: This project studied the consequences of potentially misrecorded educational attainment for the estimation of returns to education. The focus was on the British educational system, in which educational investments are best summarised by categorical qualifications rather than continuous years of education. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The aims of the study were to explore the consequences of misclassification for returns to education from a general methodological point of view, and to explore empirically how the biases from measurement error and from omitted variables interact in the estimation of returns to educational qualifications in the UK.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Data for male respondents to the fifth wave (conducted in 1991) of the &lt;i&gt;National Child Development Study&lt;/i&gt; (NCDS) (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under GN 33004) were used to explore the interaction of measurement error and ability biases, and to assess the plausibility for the two biases to cancel out in the estimation of returns. See documentation for further details.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Public Attitudes towards Standards of Conduct in Public Life, 2005-2006

description: The Committee on Standards in Public Life commissioned Ipsos MORI Social Research Institute to conduct the &lt;i&gt;Survey of Public Attitudes towards Standards of Conduct in Public Life, 2005-2006&lt;/i&gt;. This was part of a long-term study to establish a benchmark of public opinions about standards of conduct in public life, and is a follow-up to the &lt;i&gt;Survey of Public Attitudes towards Conduct in Public Life, 2003-2004&lt;/i&gt;, conducted by BMRB Social Research (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 5073).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The aims of the original survey were: &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;to establish what the public sees as acceptable and unacceptable behaviour on the part of elected and appointed holders of public office and the extent to which the Committee on Standards in Public Life's &lt;i&gt;Seven Principles of Public Life&lt;/i&gt; reflect public priorities&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to assess how far the public believes that the behaviour of holders of public office is, for the most part, acceptable or unacceptable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to assess how far the public believes that holders of public office are effectively held responsible and accountable for their conduct&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;There were some differences between the 2003-2004 and 2005-2006 surveys; for example, the 2005-2006 sample covered the United Kingdom rather than Great Britain, and both the questionnaire design and title differed slightly. For further details, see documentation.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the research may be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.public-standards.gov.uk" title="Committee on Standards in Public Life"&gt;Committee on Standards in Public Life&lt;/a&gt; web site.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Young People's Representations of Conflicting Roles in Child Development, 2004-2005

description: The research for this mixed methods study addressed the social construction of child development by investigating young people's experiences of work and ways in which they think about different working activities. Its particular focus is young people who are performing jobs that are commonly assumed to be inappropriate for children and are more often viewed as work for adults. The two atypical work roles chosen for the project were language brokering (translating for a family member) and performing caring duties for an adult family member. The project developed in two phases using mixed methods. A survey of working patterns of 1,002 young people in Years 10 and 12 (aged 15-18) from six schools and colleges in the South East and South Coast of England revealed that 98.4% of males and 99.0% of females had undertaken some form of paid or unpaid work. 6.6% reported that they had acted as a language broker at some time (of whom 71.2% were female). 6.4% reported that they had acted as a carer for an adult at home (of whom 64.5% were female). The second stage involved interviewing 46 of the respondents to the survey about their experiences and representations of both typical and less typical work roles. Thematic analysis of the interviews suggests that the participants overwhelmingly drew on a notion of normal childhood as a way of understanding young people's work. Normal childhood was seen as a time for dependency, education and play and not as a time for work. However this representation does not adequately theorise the lives of the young people in the study who had had experience of atypical work roles. Many of these participants drew concurrently on a view of normal childhood and a more contextualised alternative childhood in which their atypical activities were normalised within specific socio-cultural spaces.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Collaborative Wildlife Management and Changing Social Contexts in Peru, 2001-2003

description: This project explored the implications of social change for collaborative approaches to conservation, through an analysis and participatory review of one case study, the Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Communal Reserve in Amazonian Peru, and an overview of the Peruvian communal reserve system as a whole. Over the past twenty years, many conservationists have moved from a policy of excluding local communities from protected areas to one of collaborating with them. However, there is a growing backlash against this approach, partly because of concern that collaborative approaches will not survive processes of social change particularly population growth and increasing demand for consumer goods. This project informed the debate by examining implications of these processes for an established collaborative initiative. Specifically, it explored changes in settlement patterns and social organisation, attitudes to natural resource use, and attitudes to the Reserve itself over the past 25 years, and tracked their influence on the evolution of co-management. This mixed methods data collection includes qualitative life histories of the residents of three communities, and quantitative demographic data.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the project and links to publications may be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-000-22-0242" title="Collaborative Wildlife Management and Changing Social Contexts"&gt;Collaborative Wildlife Management and Changing Social Contexts&lt;/a&gt; web page.

title: Disadvantaged through Discrimination, 2005

description: Sociologists have consistently demonstrated that a strong link exists between an individual's social class origins and their social class destination. In trying to explain differences in relative class mobility chances, research has traditionally concentrated on individuals' educational attainment, and more recently, on their basic levels of ability and effort. However while 'merit' variables can explain some part of the differences in relative mobility chances, even after controlling for ability, effort and educational attainment, it has been demonstrated that social class origin still has a considerable impact on social class destination.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; As the actions of employers are central to understanding mobility processes, it is important to try to understand their role in creating inequality. Why is it that at the same level of education, an individual from a middle class background is advantaged over an individual from a working class background when applying for middle class occupations? Do employers discriminate against working class individuals?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The data for this study were collected to allow a test of whether individuals from working class families are disadvantaged when applying for higher level occupations through discrimination by employers. The project used an experimental 'letter stimuli' research design; see documentation for further details.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: British Election Study, 2005: Face-to-Face Survey
title: British Election Studies, 1969-
title: BES

description:   The &lt;i&gt;British Election Study, 2005: Face-to-Face Survey&lt;/i&gt; comprises the cross-section surveys conducted before and after the 2005 general election. All original key questions that had been part of the BES series since 1964 were included, as well as the questions on ideology, economic perceptions and issue positions that were introduced after 1979. Further questions added for the BES 2001, to explain turnout and explore attitudes towards elections, parties, and the democratic process, were again fielded in 2005. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The pre-election survey for 2005 comprised a 30-minute face-to-face interview with a random sample of the adult population of Britain living in private households, including both Scottish and Welsh boost samples. The post-election survey followed as many respondents from the pre-election wave as was possible. In addition, a top-up sample of new respondents was added in order to maintain the sample size and reduce bias due to attrition. After the post-election survey, a 'one year out' internet follow-up survey was also conducted with respondents who had agreed to be recontacted. For further details of methodology, see documentation.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In a 'first of its kind' experiment in a national election study, the BES team conducted a survey mode comparison between the face-to-face BES 2005 survey and the internet survey (held under SN 5496). This experiment was designed to provide a sampling frame comparison between a conventional sample and internet users drawn from a probability sample. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The dataset also includes aggregate constituency-level data and political and demographic information, plus constituency-level party campaign spending data.&lt;br&gt;

title: British Election Study, 2005: Comparative Study of Electoral Systems
title: British Election Studies, 1969-
title: BES; CSES

description:   The &lt;i&gt;British Election Study, 2005: Comparative Study of Electoral Systems&lt;/i&gt; (CSES) dataset forms part of the CSES programme of collaborative research among election study teams from around the world. The research agenda, questionnaires, and study design are developed by an international committee of leading scholars of electoral politics and political science. The design is implemented in each country by leading social scientists. Participating countries include a common module of survey questions in their post-election studies. The resulting data are combined with voting, demographic, district and macro variables, and each country's data is then merged into a single, free, public dataset for use in comparative research.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The BES 2005 CSES data were gathered via an internet survey carried out by YouGov plc. The survey was conducted after the 5 May 2005 general election, between 16 and 31 May. Nearly 90% of the interviews were completed between 16 and 18 May.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

description:   The &lt;i&gt;British Election Study, 2005: Internet Rolling Campaign Panel Data and British Parliamentary Constituency Database&lt;/i&gt; comprises the four-wave panel rolling campaign data cross-section surveys gathered by internet survey before and after the 2005 general election. After the post-election survey, a 'one year out' internet follow-up survey was also conducted during summer 2006 with respondents who had agreed to be recontacted. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In a 'first of its kind' experiment in a national election study, the BES team conducted a survey mode comparison between the face-to-face BES 2005 survey (held under SN 5494) and the internet survey. This experiment was designed to provide a sampling frame comparison between a conventional sample and internet users drawn from a probability sample. The study also contains internet experiments aimed at developing better survey measures (e.g. feedback to respondents) and ways of assessing media effects. See documentation for further details.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This study also contains the British Parliamentary Constituency Database (covering 1992-2005), plus the constituency-level party 2005 general election campaign spending data.&lt;br&gt;

title: CHS

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Continuous Household Survey&lt;/i&gt; (CHS) is one of the largest continuous surveys carried out in Northern Ireland. The survey is designed, conducted and analysed by the Central Survey Unit of the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA). It is based on a sample of the general population resident in private households and has been running since 1983. The Survey is designed to provide a regular source of information on a wide range of social and economic issues relevant to Northern Ireland. The CHS is an important source of information in Northern Ireland and is used by many Government departments and Agencies. Regular clients include the Departments of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, Culture Arts and Leisure, Regional Developments, Environment, Education, Employment and Learning and NISRA. &lt;br&gt;

title: Survey of English Housing, 2003-2004
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: Content and Framing Study of United Kingdom Media Coverage of the Iraq War, 2003

description: The purpose of this project was to evaluate media performance during the 2003 Iraq War. The war provided a fascinating case study, creating unprecedented levels of popular and political dissent, while questions surrounding media coverage generated accusations of media bias. Through analysing the success of media at maintaining autonomy and balance, this project provided research-based evidence to inform on-going public and political debates regarding the media's role during this conflict. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A combined content and framing analysis of both UK TV news coverage and UK press enabled the researchers to assess, in great detail, how media reported the war. The breadth and depth of analysis far exceeds other equivalent studies. The analysis included four principal TV news programmes (from BBC, ITV, Sky News and Channel Four) and seven national daily newspapers and their Sunday equivalents (&lt;i&gt;Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian/The Observer, The Independent, The Daily Mail, The Mirror, The Sun/News of the World&lt;/i&gt;), thus enabling a thorough assessment of the quality of the UK public sphere during the conflict. With the story as the unit of analysis, media reports were systematically analysed in multiple ways, including documentation of story length, format (from a range of types of newspaper story or TV news report), use of new technology (e.g. video-phone), subject matter, sources quoted and cited, use of visuals or photographs, etc. Reports were also assessed for their tone toward the main actors in the conflict whilst a detailed framing analysis provided measures of more subtle forms of media bias.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A key aim of the research was to identify the contours of framing in British TV and newspaper news of the war, uncovering the range, autonomy and boundaries to debate across media outlets, the extent to which news coverage reflected elite sources as well as dissenting voices, and the relative salience of justifications for the war.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Quality of Life of the Healthy Elderly: Residential Setting and Social Comparison Processes, 2000-2002
title: Wandsworth Quality of Life Study

description: The objectives and research questions of this project were:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;to increase understanding of the factors that contribute to quality of life (QoL) perceptions in the healthy elderly&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to obtain a broader understanding of the factors that influence QoL perceptions among the healthy elderly&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to contribute to understanding of the effects of positive and negative life changes on person-centred QoL perceptions in the healthy elderly&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to further develop and refine a theoretical model of the psychological and psycho-social processes involved in constructing QoL judgements&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Participants, living in the London borough of Wandsworth, who were 65 years or older and considered themselves to be in good health, were recruited for the study. Two hundred and fifty volunteers were invited to a selection interview on the basis of which inclusion in the study was determined. Selected participants were invited to three main assessment interviews, which essentially included the same measures, at eight-monthly intervals (range 28 to 45 weeks, mean 33 weeks). The interviews, which lasted between two and three hours, were conducted either in participants' homes, or at the University of Surrey at Roehampton, as the participants preferred.
