title: TAPS Study of Long-term Non-demented Patients, 1985-1998

description: TAPS was established by the North East Thames Regional Health Authority (NETRHA) to evaluate their policy of closing two of the region's six psychiatric hospitals, Friern and Claybury, and replacing them with district-based services.&lt;br&gt; The main aim of the project was to determine whether the quality of life for long-stay patients discharged to community homes was better in the psychiatric hospital or in the community. This entailed assessing suitable patients while they were in Friern and Claybury hospitals, both scheduled for closure over a ten-year period. The patients were then re-assessed one year and five years after discharge from hospital, using a batch of eight schedules covering a wide variety of aspects of quality of life. &lt;br&gt; During the process of the reposition of services, NETRHA announced that it had insufficient funds to close both hospitals at the same time. Consequently the Claybury research programme was halted and TAPS ceased to study the Claybury patients after the fifth year of discharges. As a result, the study sample includes the total residual long-stay population of Friern Hospital as it was in 1985, and 200 long-stay patients from Claybury Hospital. Insofar as these patients are representative of long-stay populations, the findings of the study should inform the national policy on de-institutionalisation.&lt;br&gt; Please see documentation for further details.

title: National Surveys of NHS Patients: General Practice, 1998
title: National Surveys of NHS Patients, 1998-

description: The National Surveys of NHS Patients programme comprises a series of surveys designed to contribute to monitoring the performance of the NHS as seen from the patient's perspective. The Government committed itself to this programme in 1997, in &lt;i&gt;The New NHS - modern dependable&lt;/i&gt; White Paper, which proposed the introduction of annual surveys of patients and users to allow systematic comparisons of experiences over time and between different parts of the country. The first survey, covering general practice patients, was carried out in 1998. The second survey, covering Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) patients, took place in 1999. The third survey, covering Cancer patients, took place in 2000. The fourth survey, covering General Practice, took place in 2002. Further information about the series may be found on the Department of Health &lt;a href="http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/PublishedSurvey/NationalsurveyofNHSpatients/index.htm" title ="National Surveys of NHS Patients"&gt;National Surveys of NHS Patients&lt;/a&gt; web page.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 The aim of the General Practice survey was to gather information among the general adult population in England regarding use and experiences of general practice health services, and to assess the quality of these services 'through the patients' eyes'. As this was the first in a series of surveys, planned to be repeated, the intention was to establish baseline data for general practice patients so that trends could subsequently be measured. The survey was designed to give reliable results at individual health authority level as well as at the national level, so that comparisons between authorities could be made.

title: Survey on School Competition, 1997
title: ICOSS Study

description: The ICOSS (Impact of Competition on Secondary Schools) study, based in the Open University's Centre for Educational Policy and Management, is investigating the impact of competitive pressures on secondary schools in England. The Survey on School Competition, 1992-1997 is part of the study.&lt;br&gt; Secondary school headteachers from six local education authority (LEA) areas were surveyed on their perceptions of the degree of competition facing their school and its impact on pupil recruitment and school budgets since 1992, when national league tables of examination results were first published. The schools contacted comprised all grant-maintained (GM) and LEA maintained secondary schools (excepting special schools) in the six LEA areas.&lt;br&gt; LEAs were selected in order to include in the database a wide range of school types so as to provide an adequate basis for generalisation of results. The LEAs include county and metropolitan authorities to give urban and rural schools and a diversity of socio-economic backgrounds and school systems (i.e. a selective system and a concentration of GM schools in some of the LEA areas).&lt;br&gt; The survey was intended to give headteachers the opportunity to comment on the effects of educational policies which have had the aim of creating a more competitive climate and to contribute to the broader aims of the ICOSS study. &lt;br&gt; Further information about the ICOSS study may be found on the website:&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=http://soe.open.ac.uk/CEPAM/research/ICOSS/index.htm&gt; http://soe.open.ac.uk/CEPAM/research/ICOSS/index.htm&lt;/a&gt; .

title: Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) Membership Survey, 1999
title: New Nationalism in Northern Ireland Project

description: The aim of the study was to measure the extent of convergence between the SDLP and Sinn Fein in Northern Ireland. The &lt;i&gt;New Nationalism in Northern Ireland&lt;/i&gt; project measured convergence at three levels: party elites, party members and party supporters. This dataset provides the first membership survey of the Social and Democratic Labour Party (SDLP). Qualitative material was also gathered via semi-structured interviews with thirty party members - this is not held at the Data Archive.&lt;br&gt; The objectives of the research were to:&lt;br&gt; develop a sociological and attitudinal profile of the SDLP, to discover the composition and views of party members;&lt;br&gt; analyse the views of members of both parties towards greater nationalist political cooperation;&lt;br&gt; explore the extent to which the parties share a similar outlook on the development of political institutions in Northern Ireland;&lt;br&gt; assess the extent and limits of pan-nationalism in Northern Ireland.&lt;br&gt; A later study by the same Principal Investigator, which surveyed the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, is held at UKDA under SN:4406.

title: Children's Worlds, Children's Lives, Survey, 1997
title: Extraordinary Childhoods

description: &lt;p&gt;This project was conducted in an under-researched study area. Most recent research on refugee children indicate that they are a very diverse group, coming from a wide range of countries and social backgrounds, but that they have some experiences in common, and that these affect refugee children more than other groups of children - the experience of overwhelmingly traumatic events which may lead to a need for psychological interventions; being targeted for bullying, often of a racist nature, and isolation in school; the likelihood of having parents who are unemployed, living in temporary accommodation and thus economically disadvantaged; the likelihood of needing support in learning English; and the possibility of having to act as interpreters and advocates for parents who speak less English than they do. The study was called 'Extraordinary Childhoods' because of the upheavals and trauma refugee children experience and how they have to cope with life in a strange country, in often taxing circumstances. The study was implemented in collaboration with the Refugee Council and benefited from the support of an advisory committee which included members of refugee community organisations. Stage 1 of the research consisted of case studies of around 30 refugee children, drawn from four major groups of recent asylum seekers. Stage 2 consisted of a survey conducted in two London schools with refugee and non-refugee children aged 11-13 years, focusing on their social roles and social networks. &lt;br&gt;Users should note that the Data Archive only holds data from Stage 2 of the research (the questionnaire).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The objectives of the study were:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;using a case study approach (Stage 1 of the research), to contribute to knowledge of the lives of refugee children, and by doing so to advance the theoretical study of children as social actors;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to provide information useful to policy makers and others concerned with the welfare of refugee families, both children and parents.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The research questions were structured around the areas of refugee children's experience in their families and in peer group networks, refugee children as users of services, and the children's expectations of the future.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

title: Home Composting Attitudes and Behaviours, 1999

description: The aim of the research project was to establish proof of concept that a virtual society can be constructed for simulating and optimising community-based integrated waste management planning. Specific objectives were:&lt;br&gt; to develop a distributed model of households with necessary and sufficient attributes to enable their waste management decisions to be simulated, and audit trails of waste through the households to be predicted;&lt;br&gt; to simulate (relevant) normative influences, collective actions, individual and coherent responses to external stimuli amongst the model households;&lt;br&gt; to develop technical models of in-community waste separation and composting, and to integrate these models with the sociological models to simulate the fate of waste from disposal to the point where its value can be realised by the community;&lt;br&gt; to research household composting, in detail, to compile case study information and to validate the proof of concept.&lt;br&gt; The dataset was gathered to provide indications of the major attitude and behavioural factors held by the home composter, particularly with reference to the take-up and drop-out from that activity. The dataset was aimed (i) at helping formulate the hypotheses from which model rules could be constructed and (ii) to provide indicative estimates for model parameter values and their possible variability amongst communities.&lt;br&gt; The dataset was derived from questionnaire surveys of home composters from four distinct samples: an estate in the village of Blackwood, South Lanarkshire, four villages in the Inverclyde district, a sample of residents in Fylde Borough, and a sample of Paisley University staff. The samples had been subjected to either a home composting promotional campaign in 1999 (University, Blackwood) or to a series of such campaigns over the last three years (Inverclyde, Fylde). Each sample comprised two groups: (a) those identified 'a-priori' who had taken up a promotional compost bin, and (b) those who had not taken a promotional bin, drawn from the same neighbourhoods as the takers.

title: Southampton Ageing Project, 1977-1998

description: The Southampton Ageing Project is a longitudinal and multidisciplinary study of ageing that began in 1977. The study has been carried out in two distinct phases. The first phase was a three year study, from 1977-1980, and was concerned with the investigation of the health and well-being of a sample of people, over the age of 65 years. Participants completed a medical and psychometric assessment in addition to a psychosocial questionnaire. The second phase of the study involved the follow-up of survivors in 1988, 1990, 1993, 1995 and 1998 with a particular focus on self-esteem and identity.&lt;br&gt;

title: Teenage Smoking Attitudes Survey, 1996-1998

description: In 1989, the Health Education Authority (HEA) launched its Teenage Smoking Campaign, which aimed to discourage young people from taking up smoking and to encourage existing smokers to stop. The HEA commissioned eight tracking surveys of children's attitudes to smoking between 1989 and 1994 to evaluate their campaign. In 1996, the Department of Health launched a new campaign - &lt;i&gt;Respect&lt;/i&gt;. The &lt;i&gt;Respect&lt;/i&gt; campaign seeks to address the reasons why young people start to smoke and to destabilise the fashionable perceptions of smoking. It seeks to make non-smoking part of a positive lifestyle which is relevant for both smokers and non-smokers. The 1996 Teenage Smoking Attitudes (TSA) survey, the first in a series of three annual surveys, was designed to help evaluate the campaign and look more generally at children's attitudes and beliefs about smoking and their knowledge of health issues. Two further surveys were carried out in 1997 and 1998.&lt;br&gt;
Since 1982, the Social Survey Division of ONS has also carried out a biennial series of surveys of smoking among secondary school children for the Department of Health (the 'Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use Among Young Teenagers' series (formerly 'Smoking Among Secondary Schoolchildren', held at the Archive under GN:33263). Since these surveys and the Teenage Smoking Attitudes surveys target the same population of 11-15 year olds in England, the HEA and the Department of Health decided to investigate whether it was possible to make the two surveys complementary to each other. Further to these investigations, the same sampling design was then used on both surveys, and they contained a group of the same core questions. The two surveys, however, have maintained different focuses. The Department of Health surveys remain the official source of smoking prevalence data for 11-15 year olds, whereas the emphasis of the HEA surveys was on finding out what people believe about smoking, their attitudes to smoking and their awareness of health education issues.&lt;br&gt;

 The 1998 Teenage Smoking Attitudes (TSA) survey was the last of three annual surveys. In particular, the 1998 survey focused on cigarette dependency, giving up smoking and children's awareness of smoking related articles, promotions and advertising in the media.&lt;br&gt;
In half the schools sampled, respondents gave saliva specimens which were later analysed for evidence of cotinine - a major metabolite of nicotine. This was carried out in order to estimate the prevalence of smoking. Pupils were made fully aware of the purpose of the procedure. For further details, please see documentation.

title: Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young Teenagers; Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People

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; The main aim of the 1988 survey, which covered England only, was to continue the series of estimates of the prevalence of cigarette smoking among secondary school children and to draw attention to any changes in behaviour. However, one feature in particular of the 1988 survey distinguishes it from earlier surveys in the series - saliva specimens were obtained from half of the sample. These were analysed for the presence of cotinine, which is a metabolite of nicotine, and is a measure of exposure to tobacco. The main purpose of this was to enable some validation of the self-reported smoking data.&lt;br&gt;
