title: Mental Health Trusts: Community Mental Health Service User Survey, 2006
title: National Health Service Patient Survey Programme, 2003-
title: NHS Patient Survey Programme

description: &lt;p&gt;The National Patient Survey Programme is one of the largest patient survey programmes in the world. It provides an opportunity to monitor experiences of health and provides data to assist with registration of trusts and monitoring on-going compliance. Understanding what people think about the care and treatment they receive is crucial to improving the quality of care being delivered by healthcare organisations. One way of doing this is by asking people who have recently used the health service to tell the Care Quality Commission (CQC) about their experiences.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;The CQC will use the results from the surveys in the regulation, monitoring and inspection of NHS acute trusts (or, for community mental health service user surveys, providers of mental health services) in England. Data are used in CQC Insight, an intelligence tool which identifies potential changes in quality of care and then supports deciding on the right regulatory response. Survey data will also be used to support CQC inspections.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Each survey has a different focus. These include patients' experiences in outpatient and accident and emergency departments in Acute Trusts, and the experiences of people using mental health services in the community.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;History of the programme&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The National Patient Survey Programme began in 2002, and was then conducted by the Commission for Health Improvement (CHI), along with the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection (CHAI). Administration of the programme was taken over by the Healthcare Commission in time for the 2004 series. On 1 April 2009, the CQC was formed, which replaced the Healthcare Commission.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Further information about the National Patient Survey Programme may be found on the CQC &lt;a href="http://www.cqc.org.uk/content/surveys" title="Patient Survey Programme" ,="" target="_blank"&gt;Patient Survey Programme&lt;/a&gt; web pages.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt; The &lt;i&gt;Community Mental Health Service User Survey, 2006&lt;/i&gt; was designed to provide actionable feedback to each participating NHS trust on patients' views of the mental health care they had received, as well as providing the Healthcare Commission with patient-focused indicators to feed into the 2005-2006 performance ratings for acute and specialist NHS trusts. The survey was carried out in all mental health trusts, combined mental health and social care trusts, and PCTs responsible for providing mental health services in England.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For the second edition (April 2008), a new version of the dataset which contains one new variable (SRnumber) and a recoded age variable was supplied. The user guide has also been updated.&lt;br&gt;

title: Predictors of Suicidality: Towards an Integrated Motivational Model, 2005-2006

description: The research project aimed to enhance understanding of suicidality by applying existing models of personality, motivation and emotion to the particular case of suicidal behaviour. In short, the research tested a model of suicidal behaviour which incorporated, for the first time, a number of recognised risk factors for psychological distress (including perfectionism, future thinking, goal adjustment and behavioural inhibition/activation sensitivity). Specifically, the research had five aims: to determine whether the sensitivity of the behavioural inhibition/behavioural activation systems (BIS/BAS) underpins suicidality; to determine whether the BIS/BAS sensitivity predicts future thinking; to investigate further the relationship between perfectionism, future thinking and suicidality; to determine whether perfectionism mediates the relations between BIS/BAS and suicidality; and to investigate whether goal adjustment moderates the relationship between social perfectionism and suicidality. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; To investigate these aims, 267 patients were recruited from a central Scotland general hospital, following an episode of self-harm, and asked to complete a range of psychological measures in the hospital (Time 1) and then again approximately two months later (Time 2). The results yielded evidence in support of each of the five aims noted above. Firstly, there was evidence that some of the BAS dimensions are associated with suicide risk and positive future thinking. In addition, it was found that positive future thinking moderated the relationship between social perfectionism and suicide risk, as predicted. However, there was no evidence that future thinking mediated the relationship between perfectionism and suicide risk. Although there was no evidence that perfectionism mediated the relationship between BIS/BAS and suicide risk, the results suggest that positive future thinking may act as a partial mediator in this relationship. Finally, goal adjustment may also moderate the relationship between perfectionism and suicide risk.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Taking Control? Agency in Young Adult Transitions in England and the 'New' Germany, 1999

description: The question of whether there now exists a period of 'extended dependency' in young people's transitions is central to the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) research programme, 'Youth, Citizenship and Social Change'. The project 'Taking Control' aimed to understand how young adults experience control and exercise personal agency as they pass through extended periods of transition in education and training, work, unemployment and in their personal lives, in selected localities experiencing economic transformation in England and the 'new' (post-reunification of 1990) Germany. Through a combination of questionnaire survey and group interviews the study investigated how, in different ways, choice and uncertainty can be important dimensions in young people's biographies in contemporary societies. Their experiences and their futures are not exclusively determined by socialising and structural influences, but also involve elements of subjectivity, choice and agency. The research aimed to contribute to understanding of the process involved in becoming 'independent' and 'personally effective' in different settings and to involve researchers and users (young people, policy-makers and practitioners) in debate about the most effective ways to support transitions in early adult life.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; While building on methodological approaches and findings of the award holder's previous Anglo-German research, this research was new and distinctive in its theme of control in the under-researched 'young adult' phase (up to age 25) and in the inclusion of the post-communist society of eastern Germany in the selected localities. This mixed methods data collection includes 20 transcripts from focus group interviews conducted in Derby, England, and Hanover and Leipzig in Germany, and a quantitative data file comprising responses to a self-completion questionnaire.&lt;br&gt;

title: Durham Tithes Database, 1270-1536

description: This research was initiated as part of ESRC-funded doctoral work, continued under an Institute of Historical Research and Economic History Society postdoctoral fellowship, and developed under an ESRC research grant. The aim of the project was to use tithe data to estimate agricultural output for one region of England during the middle ages. These estimates were then used to assess the impact of crises including war with Scotland and the Black Death. They were also used to examine the relationship between producers and the market.

title: Scottish Household Survey, 2005-2006
title: Scottish Household Survey, 1999-
title: SHS

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Scottish Household Survey&lt;/em&gt; (SHS) is a continuous survey based on a sample of the general population in private residences in Scotland. It is financed by the Scottish Government (previously the Scottish Executive). The survey started in 1999 and up to 2011 followed a fairly consistent survey design. From 2012 onwards, the survey was substantially redesigned to include elements of the &lt;em&gt;Scottish House Condition Survey&lt;/em&gt; (SHCS) (also available from the UK Data Service), including the physical survey. The SHS is run through a consortium led by Ipsos MORI. The survey is designed to provide reliable and up-to-date information on the composition, characteristics, attitudes and behaviour of private households and individuals, both nationally and at a sub-national level and to examine the physical condition of Scotland's homes. It covers a wide range of topics to allow links to be made between different policy areas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information about the survey series, and links to publications, can be found on the Scottish Government's &lt;a title="Scottish Household Survey" href="https://www.gov.scot/collections/scottish-household-survey/" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Scottish Household Survey&lt;/a&gt; webpages.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;COVID-19 restrictions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the SHS was conducted by telephone or via MS Teams in 2020 and 2021 (SNs 9186 and 9187). Face-to-face interviewing resumed for SHS 2022 (SN 9294) when restrictions had been lifted.&lt;/p&gt; For the second edition (January 2008), data from the 2006 wave of the SHS was added to the study, and the documentation updated accordingly. Subsequently, four variables, HK1A to HK1D (covering household insurance) in the main 2005-2006 data file, were replaced with new versions during February 2008, to correct previously erroneous values. Users who downloaded the dataset before 19 February 2008 are advised to download a replacement copy.

title: Crown Agents, 1914-1974

description: Britains Crown Agents Office was (and is) a unique development agency. A quasi-government organisation, it acted as the UK agent of colonial governments, and, from the mid-1950s, the administrations of dependencies and newly independent countries. As well as purchasing a large proportion of its customers imports, it provided them with finance and managed their investments. It was thus one of the largest buyers of goods in the UK, and, after the Bank of England, the countrys biggest financial institution. Attempting to re-invent itself, in 1967, it entered the secondary banking sector. The new venture, dogged by accusations of inefficiency and corruption, collapsed in 1974, and the resultant bankruptcy, the then largest in British financial history, attracted much media attention.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The project investigated the Agents three major roles - their provision of non-aid finance, their management of UK investments, and their purchase of government stores. In addition, it looked at their management of infrastructure projects, their recruitment of expatriate staff, their contribution to the creation of development policy, and the reasons for their move into secondary banking and the subsequent bankruptcy. The findings of the research form the basis of a book, Managing British Colonial and Post-Colonial Development.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Cognition in Pregnancy: Perceptions and Performance, 2005-2006

description: Pregnant women consistently report that their memory and attention abilities become worse during pregnancy. However, their perception of changes is not well supported by comparisons of performance between pregnant and non-pregnant women on laboratory cognitive tasks. The aim of this project was to investigate two possible reasons for this discrepancy. The first possibility is that there are real changes but these are so mild that they are usually only noticeable in complex everyday situations and are rarely demonstrable in the simple tasks typically used to examine the effects of pregnancy on cognition. The second possibility is that there are no actual changes and the perception of worsening ability arises from a negative stereotype which makes pregnant women more aware of the kinds of cognitive slips everyone makes which are then attributed to pregnancy. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The project comprised three studies. The possibility that there are real but subtle changes in cognition was examined in Study 1 by comparing the performance of 50 first-time pregnant women in middle and late pregnancy and 25 non-pregnant, childless women on a range of sensitive cognitive tests using familiar everyday scenarios, and in Study 3 by comparing the performance of 13 pregnant women with that of 17 non-pregnant, childless women on two cognitively complex driving simulation tasks. All women also provided self-ratings of cognitive changes. Study 2 investigated the existence of a social stereotype: 99 female and 55 male participants with immediate experience of pregnancy (pregnant women and their partners), and 100 female and 100 male participants with little experience of pregnancy rated the likelihood of cognitive and other changes women may experience during pregnancy.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Scottish Social Attitudes Survey, 2005
title: Scottish Social Attitudes Survey, 1999-
title: SSA

description: The &lt;i&gt;Scottish Social Attitudes&lt;/i&gt; (SSA) survey was launched by ScotCen Social Research (formerly the Scottish Centre for Social Research) in 1999, following the advent of devolution. Based on annual rounds of interviews of between 1,200 to 1,500 people drawn using probability sampling (based on a stratified, clustered sample), it aims to facilitate the study of public opinion and inform the development of public policy in Scotland, similar to the &lt;i&gt;British Social Attitudes&lt;/i&gt; (BSA) series (held at the Archive under GN 33168). The SSA survey has been conducted annually each year since 1999, with the exception of 2008. The survey has a modular structure. In any one year it typically contains three to five modules, each containing 40 questions. Funding for its first two years came from the Economic and Social Research Council, while from 2001 onwards different bodies have funded individual modules each year. These bodies have included the Economic and Social Research Council, the Scottish Government and various charitable and grant awarding bodies, such as the Nuffield Foundation and Leverhulme Trust. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Further information on the SSA and links to publications may be found on the ScotCen Social Research &lt;a href="https://natcen.ac.uk/search?series%5B43%5D=43" title="Scottish Social Attitudes" target="_blank"&gt;Scottish Social Attitudes&lt;/a&gt; webpages.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 The 2005 survey was the seventh wave in the series. It was designed in close conjunction with the corresponding year's &lt;i&gt;British Social Attitudes Survey&lt;/i&gt;, though it had a number of distinct Scottish modules. The sample included a boost of addresses in remote and rural parts of Scotland.&lt;br&gt;

title: Colchester Primitive Methodist Baptismal Register, 1834-1877
title: Colchester Primitive Methodist Records, 1834-1877

description: This project intends to transcribe all the surviving documents pertaining to the Primitive Methodist congregations in Colchester and the surrounding villages in north-east Essex for the period approximately 1844 to 1956. These have been deposited in the Essex and Suffolk Record Offices and are currently [February 2007] held at their branches at Colchester, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. The Colchester branch is expected to close at the end of March 2007 and the documents are likely to be transferred to Chelmsford. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
As far as is known, no previous transcription of these records has been undertaken in machine-readable form. In addition to depositing a copy with the UK Data Archive it is intended that copies will be deposited with the respective Record Offices, with the present Colchester Methodist Circuit and with the Essex Society for Family History, thus making these data more easily available to academic, local, religious and family historians. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This digital resource aims to reflect the subject content of the traditional archival deposit of records created by the Primitive Methodist circuit and congregations. It is hoped than once complete it will comprise transcriptions of property schedules, registers of baptisms and burials, minutes of meetings, financial accounts, reports, correspondence and preaching plans.

title: Summary of Selected Wills of West Northamptonshire, 1500-1700

description: This dataset contains a summary of the author's separate transcriptions of a complete set of wills (and associated probate inventories where available) for five neighbouring villages in West Northamptonshire, over the period 1500-1700. The main purpose was to create a resource to be used for analysis of social demographics, population studies, religious development etc., for a historically interesting section of countryside over a time-period that is of considerable relevance to the area's long-term development. The resource is intended to be used along with parish registers, tax surveys, manorial court records, maps and other contemporary documentation, to permit extremely detailed studies to be carried out, comparable with work done by other historians on other parts of the country for the same time-period.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Constructing the Company: Governance and Procedures in British and Irish Joint Stock Companies, 1720-1844

description: The project represents the first comprehensive examination of corporate governance in industrialising Britain. Its working hypothesis is that in enterprises large enough for a space to develop between ownership and management, this space became a political arena in which governing executives confronted their public legislatures, the assemblies of shareholders. The project tests this hypothesis through an analysis of the institutional arrangements for, and the practice of, governance in stock companies in Britain between the Bubble Act of 1720 and the Companies Act of 1844, i.e. during the century or so when the legal status of the stock company in England was most uncertain, and when its status in Scotland was still not entirely resolved. Historians, such as Alborn and Dunlavy, have argued that there was shift from democratic to plutocratic practice in business governance in Britain during the first half of the nineteenth century. The project seeks to establish the existence, timing and reasons for this shift.

title: Neighbourhood Survey, 2005

description: The main aim of this study was to provide a set of self-administered questions that would produce comparable data to interviewer-administered questions on social capital. There is a demand for these questions at the local level but local authorities tend to have insufficient resources to carry out face-to-face surveys, consequently most local authority surveys are carried out by post. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In order to assess any differences between the self-administered format and the interviewer-administered format, the postal survey was run in parallel with the interviewer-administered survey, also held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 5656 &lt;i&gt;ONS Omnibus Survey, Social Capital Module, April, May and June, 2005 &lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
