title: United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study; UKHLS

description: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Understanding Society&lt;/span&gt; (the UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex, and the survey research organisations Verian Group (formerly Kantar Public) and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991. 
&lt;p&gt;This dataset contains Acorn geodemographic segmentation codes (category, group and type) for each household in every wave of Understanding Society and harmonised BHPS, together with a household identification number (hidp) allowing it to be linked to the main Understanding Society data files. The dataset is produced by matching the Acorn segmentation against every Understanding Society household at the postcode level. There are two sets of segmentation codes, 2015 and 2023. The 2015 variables are produced against the acorn 2015 variant and the 2023 variables against a newer acorn variant first produced in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Acorn segmentation system itself is developed and maintained by CACI Ltd and is designed to identify characteristics of each postcode according to a hierarchical structure of 7 categories, 22 groups and 64 types. For details on the Acorn segmentation structure and how is it is produced please refer to the documentation and the Caci website.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These data have more restrictive access conditions than those available under the standard End User Licence (see 'Access data' tab for more information).&lt;/p&gt;

title: East of England Healthy Hearts Study: Cross-Sectional Data, 2006-2011
title: EoEHHS;

description: The &lt;i&gt;East of England Healthy Hearts Study&lt;/i&gt; (EoEHHS) was an observational, cross-sectional survey of English schoolchildren, which assesses a variety of health markers linked to current and/or future chronic disease risk. It aimed, additionally, to identify social, geographical and behavioural factors associated with fitness and physical activity. The EoEHHS was school-based; all measurements and assessments were carried out during regularly scheduled physical education lessons, using existing school facilities and in the presence of physical education or other teachers, therefore causing minimal stress to participants and no disruption to the schools' curricula. This mode of data collection combined with excellent levels of school engagement resulted in very high response rates (between 61-98% in schools). The survey was aimed primarily at children from school years 6-11 (9-16 years) but also includes some data on individuals aged 17 and 18 years. All testing took place in the summer months (March to September). The data were collected between 2006 and 2011. Only cross-sectional data from participants with valid age and sex values are included in the dataset.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information may be found on the University of Essex Biomedical Sciences Institute (EBSI) &lt;a href="http://www.essex.ac.uk/bs/ebsi/core/ebsi_research.htm" title="Research Activities"&gt;Research Activities&lt;/a&gt; webpage and on the University of Essex Repository &lt;a href="http://repository.essex.ac.uk/948/" title="Aerobic Fitness and Mode of Travel to School in English Schoolchildren"&gt;Aerobic Fitness and Mode of Travel to School in English Schoolchildren&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Attitudes to Pensions Survey, 2012
title: Attitudes to Pensions Surveys, 2006-

description: The &lt;i&gt;Attitudes to Pensions Survey&lt;/i&gt; series aims to investigate attitudes to pensions and private financial preparations for later life in Great Britain. The baseline survey was conducted in 2006 with a follow-up conducted in 2009. These two surveys were both conducted by NatCen Social Research on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The 2012 survey was conducted by TNS BMRB on behalf of DWP. One of the key aims of the survey series is to examine continuity and change in attitudes to financial planning for retirement over time so a large number of the questions have been repeated over all three surveys.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 The &lt;i&gt;Attitudes to Pensions Survey, 2012&lt;/i&gt; is the third survey in the series. Although the survey retains key questions from the previous surveys in the series, the sample definition and questionnaire are two key areas of change in the 2012 survey. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For the 2012 survey, the upper age limit for participation in the survey of 69, in place in the two previous surveys, was removed so that anyone aged 18 or over was eligible to take part. This reflected the need to research issues around policies aimed at redefining retirement, encouraging more flexible working and extending working life. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The questionnaire was changed to reflect the changing policy environment in particular:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;inclusion of more attitudes to reflect automatic aspects of behaviour&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;questions included to reflect changing circumstance/policy interest&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;less emphasis on some details (e.g. provision)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a new section on automatic enrolment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

title: Welsh Health Survey, 2012
title: Welsh Health Survey, 1998-2015
title: WHS

description: The &lt;i&gt;Welsh Health Survey&lt;/i&gt; (WHS) collects information about the health of people living in Wales, the way they use health services, and the factors that can affect their health. The current WHS series was commissioned by the Welsh Government (formerly the Welsh Assembly Government), and was carried out in both 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 by a consortium comprising NatCen Social Research (NatCen) (formerly the National Centre for Social Research), Beaufort Research Limited, and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London. In 2005-2006, NatCen had sole responsibility for conducting the survey and this has been the case from the 2007 surveys onwards. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The new WHS replaces two previous study series: the previous WHS, conducted in 1995 and 1998 (the 1998 WHS is held at the Archive under SN 4176), and the Health in Wales Survey which was conducted five times in 1985, 1988, 1990, 1993 and 1996 (not currently held at the Archive). Users should note that results from the new WHS survey are not comparable with those from the previous surveys, because of differences in the questionnaires and survey methodology.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The new WHS is designed to:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide national estimates of health and health-related lifestyle&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;examine differences between population subgroups and local areas;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide evidence to inform and monitor policies and strategies for promoting better health;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide data for setting and monitoring targets and indicators;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide local authority level information for development of joint local health, social care and well-being strategies.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The WHS is based on a representative sample of adults aged 16 and over living in private households in Wales. In addition, up to two children aged 0 to 15 were randomly selected from each household. From 2007, more extensive survey elements for children were introduced than had been used for previous years of the WHS. Three age-specific questionnaires were used for children selected to participate in the survey. Two questionnaires were given to parents to complete on behalf of selected children aged 0 to 3, and selected children aged 4 to 12; a third questionnaire was given to selected children aged 13 to 15 to complete on their own behalf. In addition, interviewers were asked to take height and weight measurements of selected children aged between 2 and 15 years, if children and parents consented. Results from this survey are not comparable with those from the previous surveys because of differences in the questionnaires and survey methodology. &lt;br&gt;

title: Respondent-Driven Sampling and Total Population Data from a Rural Ugandan Cohort, 2010: Special Licence Access

description: This is a mixed-methods data collection. This study used Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) methodology, which is a sampling method designed to generate unbiased estimates of population characteristics for populations where a sampling frame is not available. It is a form of snowball or link-tracing sampling, where respondents are given coupons to recruit other members of the target population, and where respondents are rewarded for both participating and for recruiting others. In addition to variables of interest, data are collected on the number of members of the target population each participant knows. Estimation methods are then applied to account for the non-random sample selection in an attempt to generate unbiased estimates for the target population.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In 2010, the researchers conducted an RDS study in a rural Ugandan population where total population data were available. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether RDS could generate representative data on a rural Ugandan population by comparing estimates from an RDS survey with total-population data. The data used to define the target population (male household heads) were available from an ongoing general population cohort of 25 villages in rural Masaka, Uganda covering an area of approximately 38km. Annually, households in the study villages are mapped and after obtaining consent, a total-population household census and an individual questionnaire are administered and blood taken for HIV-1 testing. A random sample of eligible men in the target population who were not recruited during the RDS study were also interviewed, using the same RDS questionnaire. Finally, 49 qualitative interviews (of which summaries have been deposited) were conducted with a range of people (men and women) including RDS participants and non-participants, and RDS interviewers. These data can be used to evaluate the RDS sampling method, and to test new RDS estimators. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information may be found in the documentation and in the journal articles listed in the Publications section.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Special Licence access and geographic data&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; This data collection is subject to Special Licence access conditions (see Access section for details). Data are analysable at individual village level, and GPS point data are available for the villages and interview sites. Finer detail geographic variables may be available for certain research questions. If these are required, users should request this when making their Special Licence application.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: National Polling of Adults and Young People, 2013
title: Every School a Community: the Role of Alumni in Supporting the Transition from School to Work

description: In 2013, UK-registered charity Future First embarked on an Open Society Foundations and Global Citizen Foundation-sponsored research project designed to investigate: (1) the current state of careers services in schools around the world; and (2) the potential to use local social capital (former students of state schools) to support young people’s transitions from school to work. All research took place between 1st April and 1st November 2013 and national polling of adults and young people was supplemented by in-country research in the six countries selected: Argentina, Brazil, Ghana, Finland, Jordan and Kazakhstan. This included interviews with Ministry of Education Officials, Head Teachers and other education experts, and focus groups with young people. The findings were collated with existing polling data from the UK, Kenya and the USA and presented in a report entitled, Every School a Community: the Role of Alumni in Supporting the Transition from School to Work (see Documentation section below for details). The report intends to inform education policy and advocate for integrating systematic alumni engagement into school systems for the benefit of young people.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The data available from the UK Data Archive include the questionnaire survey data conducted with adults and young adults in Argentina, Brazil, Ghana, Finland, Jordan and Kazakhstan.

title: BSA

description: &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;The British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey series began in 1983. The series is designed to produce annual measures of attitudinal movements to complement large-scale government surveys that deal largely with facts and behaviour patterns, and the data on party political attitudes produced by opinion polls. One of the BSA's main purposes is to allow the monitoring of patterns of continuity and change, and the examination of the relative rates at which attitudes, in respect of a range of social issues, change over time. Some questions are asked regularly, others less often. Funding for BSA comes from a number of sources (including government departments, the Economic and Social Research Council and other research foundations), but the final responsibility for the coverage and wording of the annual questionnaires rests with NatCen Social Research (formerly Social and Community Planning Research). The BSA has been conducted every year since 1983, except in 1988 and 1992 when core funding was devoted to the British Election Study (BES).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Further information about the series and links to publications may be found on the NatCen Social Research &lt;a title="British Social Attitudes" href="https://natcen.ac.uk/flagship-surveys"&gt;British Social Attitudes&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Welsh Language Use Surveys, 2004-2006

description: The Welsh Language Board commissioned a series of three surveys over 2004-2006 in order to expand on the information available from the 2001 Census. The intention was to obtain information on who uses Welsh, and with whom, when and how much they use it. The survey, called the Language Use Survey, was organised to supplement the &lt;a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=2000029" title="Living in Wales"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Living in Wales&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; survey (LIW), conducted between 2004 and 2008 by the Welsh Assembly Government. The LIW survey provided the sample frame, i.e. those identified within LIW as able to speak Welsh formed the sample for the &lt;i&gt;Welsh Language Use Survey&lt;/i&gt;. Data from all three survey years are combined here within one data file. (Users should note that it is not currently possible to link these data to the LIW data held at the UK Data Archive.) &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The Welsh Language Use Survey has been commissioned to run again from 2013 to 2015, using a sample frame from the successor to the LIW, the &lt;a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=2000035" title="National Survey for Wales"&gt;&lt;i&gt;National Survey for Wales&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which began in 2009.

title: I-CeM

description:   
&lt;p&gt;The Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM) project has produced a standardised, integrated dataset of most of the censuses of Great Britain for the period 1851 to 1921: England and Wales for 1851-1861, 1881-1921 and Scotland for 1851-1901 and 1921, making available to academic researchers, detailed information at parish level about everyone resident in Great Britain collected at most of the decennial censuses between 1851-1921. &lt;strong&gt;Users should note that the 1871 England and Wales census data and 1911 Scottish census data are &lt;u&gt;not available&lt;/u&gt; via I-CeM.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original digital data has been coded and standardised. In addition, the original text and numerical strings have always been preserved in separate variables, so that researchers can go back to the original transcription. However, users should note that name and address details for individuals are not currently included in the database; for reasons of commercial sensitivity, these are held under Special Licence access conditions under SN 7856 for data relating to England, Wales and Scotland, 1851-1911 and &lt;span&gt;SN 9281 for data relating to England and Wales, 1921&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study (7481) relates to the available anonymised data for 1851-1911, i.e. all available years &lt;b&gt;
except&lt;/b&gt; 1921. Data for England and Wales 1921 are available under SN 9280.

title: UK Commission's Employer Skills Survey, 2013

description: The UK Commission for Employment and Skills' (UKCES) &lt;i&gt;Employer Skills Survey&lt;/i&gt; is a biennial UK-wide individual establishment telephone survey, providing the most detailed picture of training, vacancies, skills gaps, and investment in training. The aims are to provide rigorous and robust intelligence on the UK labour market and the market for skills. The survey has two waves, with a mainstage questionnaire of c.91,000 establishments, and a follow-up survey of investment in training of c.13,000 establishments that have conducted training over the previous 12 months. A Secure Access version of the &lt;I&gt;Employer Skills Survey, 2011-2015&lt;/I&gt; is held by the UK Data Archive under SN 7745.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Two previous studies, the &lt;i&gt;National Employer Skills Survey, 1999-2009: Secure Access&lt;/i&gt; (NESS), covering England only, and the &lt;i&gt;Scottish Employer Skills Survey, 2008-2010: Secure Access&lt;/i&gt;, covering Scotland, are held at the Archive under SNs 6705 and 6857 repectively. Both studies are subject to restrictive Secure Access conditions (see the SN 6705 and 6857 catalogue records for full details).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The UKCES also conducts the &lt;i&gt;Employer Perspectives Survey&lt;/i&gt; (UKCEPS) series (held at the Archive under SN 33466), which began in 2010. The UKCEPS provides a comprehensive examination of employer perspectives on key aspects of the employment, skills and business support systems in the UK. &lt;br&gt;
