title: British Cohort Studies Teaching Dataset for Higher Education, 1958-2000

description: In December 2007 the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) completed a two year project which aimed to create a set of teaching datasets and associated resources for lecturers in higher education. These are based on the 1958 National Child Development Study and the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70). The project was funded under the ESRC Researcher Development Initiative.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The first set of resource documents is based on 'key variables' or rather many of the most commonly used variables from the two studies, such as data on qualifications, social class, marital status, income, number and ages of children etc. The second is based on the Malaise Inventory, an established scale to measure signs of psychological distress or depression in teenagers or adults. Cohort members in both NCDS and BCS70 have completed the Malaise Inventory at various ages from age 16. A supplementary resource based on BCS70 cohort members' mothers' responses to the Malaise Inventory is also available. The third set of resources is based on the Rutter Behaviour Scale, again, an established scale to measure signs of behaviour disorders in children that cohort members' parents in both NCDS and BCS70 have completed at various ages in childhood. The final set of resources is based on cognitive development through childhood. This includes variables based on maths and reading assessments completed by children at different ages and from different cohorts.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
A good starting point for using this teaching resource is guide to the datasets and resources (British_Cohort_Studies_Teaching_Dataset_2ndEd.pdf) which summarise the documents available and how to use them.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For the second edition (August 2008), a set of resources based on the assessment of cognitive development in children (namely reading and mathematics) have been added. This comprises three datasets and additional documentation.&lt;br&gt;

title: Congregational and Parochial Data for Economic Analysis of Denominational Behaviour in Nineteenth-century Scotland, 1843-1874
title: An Economic Analysis of the Disruption, 1843

description: This research project has collated information on the behaviour of congregations of the three nationally organised Presbyterian denominations active in Scotland between 1843 and 1874. Data covers attendance, building size, congregational giving, and stipend levels. It has been collated to permit inter-denominational comparisons of activity during this period of intense competition in local religious markets.

title: Arrestee Survey, 2003-2006

description: The &lt;i&gt;Arrestee Survey, 2003-2006&lt;/i&gt;, was the first nationally representative survey of drugs and crime among the population of individuals representing arrest events in England and Wales. The survey aimed to provide information on a range of areas within the drugs and crime nexus, including the prevalence of problematic drug misuse among respondents representing arrest events; drug and/or alcohol consumption; availability of drugs; levels of demand (met and/or unmet) for drug and alcohol treatment services among respondents; levels of intravenous drug use among respondents; and gang membership. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The objectives of the survey were to provide the following:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;measurement of the prevalence and change in problematic drug misuse among a sample of individuals representing arrest events in England and Wales&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;information to allow monitoring of drug use within drug-using groups that are likely to be under-represented in household surveys&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;individual-level data for the purpose of researching the behavioural links between drug and/or alcohol consumption and criminal offences leading to arrest&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a means to estimate the level of demand (met and/or unmet) for treatment services among the problematic drug/alcohol user population&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;monitoring information on the level of intravenous drug use among arrestees to better inform harm reduction programmes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a means for routine collection of custody suite information for the purpose of analysing arrestee flows and the process of being in custody, and for analysing the characteristics and offending histories of individuals entering the Criminal Justice System (CJS)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;For the second edition (October 2011), the weight variables (arrfreqw2 and arrfreqw3) have been updated to include weights for the survey years 2005-2006.&lt;br&gt;

title: Low Income Diet and Nutrition Survey, 2003-2005
title: LIDNS

description: In the United Kingdom, the diet and nutritional status of the general population is&lt;br&gt; monitored by the &lt;i&gt;National Diet and Nutrition Survey&lt;/i&gt; (NDNS) programme (held at the UK Data Archive under GN 33275). Results from the NDNS surveys indicate that differences exist in food consumption and nutritional status between lower and higher social economic groups.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The &lt;i&gt;Low Income Diet and Nutrition Survey&lt;/i&gt; (LIDNS) was commissioned to provide for the first time robust, nationally representative, baseline data on food consumption, nutrient intake and nutritional status and factors affecting these in low-income/materially-deprived consumers. Data were collected between 2003 and 2005 and the survey report was published in July 2007. The survey included over 3,700 adults and children throughout the UK and had a number of components. It collected detailed quantitative information on food consumption, which was used to assess nutrient intakes. Physical measurements (e.g. height, weight, blood pressure) were also taken, and a blood sample for analysis of nutritional status indices. Finally, information on socio-economic, demographic and lifestyle characteristics was collected in a detailed interview and assessments of physical activity and oral health were made by questionnaire. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Specific aims of LIDNS were to&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide quantitative data on the food and nutrient intakes, sources of nutrients and nutritional status of low-income groups &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;describe the characteristics of individuals with intakes of specific nutrients above or below the national average&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;assess the diets of low-income consumers to determine the extent to which they are sufficiently nutritious&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;evaluate the extent to which the diets of low-income consumers vary from expert recommendations&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide physical measurements of health-related factors closely associated with diet, namely height, weight and other anthropometric measurements and blood pressure for a representative sample of low-income individuals&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;measure blood indices that provide evidence of nutritional status or dietary biomarkers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;assess physical activity levels of low-income groups&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide basic information on smoking and oral health status in relation to diet&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;examine the relationship between dietary intake and factors affecting food choice in low-income groups&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;examine possible relationships between diet and risk factors in later life.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

title: Young Life and Times Survey, 2007
title: Young Life and Times Survey, 1998-
title: YLT

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Young Life and Times Survey&lt;/em&gt; (YLT) originally began as a companion survey to the &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040"&gt;Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey&lt;/a&gt; (NILT) series. It surveyed young people aged 12-17 living in the households of adults interviewed for NILT, and YLT ran alongside it from 1998-2000. Following an evaluation in 2001, the YLT series recommenced in 2003 (see SN 4826) using a completely different methodology and independent of the adult NILT. This new YLT survey uses Child Benefit records as a sampling frame.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The aims of the YLT series are to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;facilitate academic social policy analysis; provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;give a voice to young people.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;


&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An open access time-series teaching dataset has been created from the 2003-2012 YLTs - see SN 7548.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Kids’ Life and Times&lt;/a&gt; (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) is also part of the same suite of surveys as YLT and NILT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information about the YLT, including publications, may be found on the Access Research Knowledge (ARK) &lt;a title="Young Life and Times Survey" href="http://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/ylt/index.html"&gt;YLT&lt;/a&gt; webpages.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Forward to the Past? Interpreting Contemporary and Future Loyalist Violence, 1994-2006

description: This research project considered in detail loyalist violence in Northern Ireland since the paramilitary ceasefires of 1994, and its potential to continue, especially in relation to possible constitutional changes. The research examined three strands of contemporary loyalist violence, namely: sectarian attacks; violence directed at other loyalists; and the potential for future violence given constitutional uncertainty. The project gathered in-depth information on loyalist violence, including documentary factual research, covering the type of incident, prevalence, location and concentration. From this, geographic information system (GIS) maps of Troubles-related deaths attributed to loyalist paramilitaries were generated. Focus groups and interviews were conducted with loyalist and other key community representatives to ascertain perceptions of loyalist violence. Additional in-depth interviews were also undertaken with groups and individuals from projects and activities aimed at diluting the rationale of paramilitary involvement. Interviews with voluntary groups and statutory agencies allowed further exploration of perceptions of such violence and the potential impacts of diversionary schemes.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the project can be found on the ESRC &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-000-22-1013" title="Forward to the Past?

title: Experience and Expression in the Fear of Crime, 2003-2004

description: The &lt;i&gt;Experience and Expression in the Fear of Crime, 2003-2004&lt;/i&gt; dataset comprises a secondary data analysis of the main &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey, 2003-2004&lt;/i&gt; (BCS) (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 5324), and also includes some data taken from a previous survey undertaken by Dr. Jackson. With regard to the BCS data, a particular set of questions on the frequency of the fear of crime was analysed; no new variables were produced as a result, but some new codings of the existing BCS variables are included in this dataset. See documentation for further details. (Note that the main &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey&lt;/i&gt; has now become the &lt;i&gt;Crime Survey for England and Wales&lt;/i&gt;, but titles of older studies in the series remain the same.) &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the project may be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-000-23-1108/read" title="Experience and Expression in the Fear of Crime"&gt;Experience and Expression in the Fear of Crime&lt;/a&gt; ESRC award web page.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; An earlier dataset covering similar topics, &lt;i&gt;Measuring the Fear of Crime with Greater Accuracy, 2002&lt;/i&gt;, is also held at the UKDA under SN 4665.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: British Social Attitudes Survey, 2006
title: British Social Attitudes Survey, 1983-
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: Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey, 2006
title: Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey, 2002-
title: SALSUS

description: The &lt;i&gt;Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey&lt;/i&gt; (SALSUS) is the primary source of data on substance using behaviour among young people in Scotland. SALSUS comprises a long running series of national surveys of young people's substance use. From 1982 to 2000 these surveys were carried out jointly in Scotland and England to provide national information on smoking behaviour (from 1982), drinking behaviour (from 1990) and drug use (from 1998). In 2002, Scotland introduced its own (SALSUS) survey which provides national policy makers with vital information to help develop and evaluate policies to reduce the prevalence of substance use in Scotland and to monitor progress towards achieving Scottish Government targets. Every four years the survey also provides information on substance use for local areas. These data are used to help inform local service planning, for example, to develop Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) strategic and delivery plans and to monitor progress towards achieving a number of the ADP core indicators. All SALSUS datasets are available via the UK Data Archive.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Further information about the series is available from the NHS National Services Scotland Information Services Division &lt;a href="http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Public-Health/SALSUS" title="SALSUS" target="_blank"&gt;SALSUS&lt;/a&gt; webpage and from the Scottish Government &lt;a href="http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Research/by-topic/health-community-care/social-research/SALSUS" target="_blank"&gt;SALSUS webpages&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
August 2013: Variables excls1-4, covering school exclusions in years 1-4 were removed from the 2002, 2004 and 2006 data at the request of the NHS National Services Scotland's Caldicott Guardian. The 2006 SALSUS survey broadly replicates the design of the previous surveys in 2002 and 2004, where S2 and S4 pupils were asked to complete a paper questionnaire during class time. Pupils were on average 13 years old in S2 and 15 years old in S4. Therefore in the context of the reports and data, those in S2 are referred to as '13 year olds' and those in S4, '15 year olds'.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The questionnaire asked pupils about smoking, drinking and drug use as well as various lifestyle factors, including attitudes towards school. The 2006 survey, like that of 2002, was conducted on a large enough scale to provide local as well as national data. See documentation for further details.&lt;br&gt;

title: Mental Health Trusts: Community Mental Health Service User Survey, 2007
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, 2007&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 CHAI with patient-focused indicators to feed into the 2006-2007 annual health check for mental health 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. Only one trust providing such services did not take part in the survey. This was because it has insufficient numbers of service users on its Care Programme Approach (CPA) register to enable its inclusion.&lt;br&gt;

title: Youth Cohort Study of England and Wales, 2004-2007: Cohort 12, Sweeps 1-4
title: Youth Cohort Study, 1985-
title: YCS; Youth Cohort Study of England and Wales

description: The &lt;i&gt;Youth Cohort Study&lt;/i&gt; (YCS) is a major programme of longitudinal research designed to monitor the behaviour and decisions of representative samples of young people aged sixteen upwards as they make the transition from compulsory education to further or higher education, or to the labour market. It tries to identify and explain the factors which influence post-16 transitions, for example, educational attainment, training opportunities, experiences at school. To date the YCS covers thirteen cohorts and over forty surveys. The first cohort was first surveyed in 1985 and the thirteenth in 2007. The questionnaires have been designed, over the years, to be broadly comparable, but external changes and shifts in policy interest have brought about changes - some minor, some fundamental. Cohorts One to Twelve cover England and Wales but a change to the methodology means that from Cohort Thirteen, data cover England only. For further details of the methodology and coverage, see the documentation.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The UK Data Archive currently holds data for the cohorts listed below:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort One (SN 3093) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1983-84&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Two (SN 3094) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1984-85&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;*Cohort Three (SN 3012) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1985-86&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Four (SN 3107) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1987-88&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Five (SN 3531) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1989-90&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Six (SN 3532) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1990-91&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Seven (SN 3533) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1992-93&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Eight (SN 3805) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1995-96&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Nine (SN 4009) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1996-97&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Ten (SN 4571) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1998-99&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Eleven (SN 5452) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 2000-01&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Twelve (SN 5830) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 2002-03&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cohort Thirteen (SN 6024) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 2005-06&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;*Some teaching materials using the data from Cohort Three have been developed.
