title: British Household Panel Survey: Waves 1-11, 1991-2002: Teaching Dataset (Work, Family and Health)
title: BHPS

description: This BHPS teaching/sampler dataset contains only wave one respondents, and follows them for eleven waves, selecting broadly the same variables at each wave. There are some (fixed) variables which are only included at wave one, and there are a few variables which only appear intermittently, or are introduced later in the panel. The dataset contains a mix of original variables and derived variables. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In order to reduce the complexity of the data's structure and to make the data more accessible to inexperienced users, the dataset is in a rectangular format. Users are not required to undertake potentially problematic record/file merges in order to analyse the data longitudinally. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Variable names are the same as those in the original BHPS dataset such that variables are prefixed A for wave one, B for wave two, C for wave three and so on. For example, the variable EAGE records the respondent's age at the date of the wave five interview.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;The Main BHPS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The BHPS is carried out by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex. The main objective of the survey is to further understanding of social and economic change at the individual and household level in Britain, to identify, model and forecast such changes, their causes and consequences in relation to a range of socio-economic variables. The BHPS is designed as a research resource for a wide range of social science disciplines and to support interdisciplinary research in many areas. The unique value of the survey resides in that fact that:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;it follows the same representative sample of individuals - the panel - over a period of years; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;it is household-based, interviewing every adult member of sampled households; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;it contains sufficient cases for meaningful analysis of certain groups such as the elderly or one parent families; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;it allows for linkage of data both from other surveys and from local area statistics. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The BHPS was designed as an annual survey of each adult (16+) member of a nationally representative sample of more than 5,000 households, making a total of approximately 10,000 individual interviews. The same individuals are re-interviewed in successive waves and, if they split off from original households, all adult members of their new households are also interviewed. Children are interviewed once they reach the age of 16; there is also a special survey of 11-15 year old household members from wave four. Efficient fieldwork practices, training videos for interviewers and regular contact with the panel members ensures that the sample remains broadly representative of the population as it changes over time.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; For the second edition (November 2011) additional labels have been added to missing values.&lt;br&gt;

title: British Crime Survey, 2000: X4L SDiT Teaching Dataset

description: The &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey, 2000: X4L SDiT Teaching Dataset&lt;/i&gt; (BCS) is a stripped-down version of the full BCS 2000 study held as study number 4463 at the UK Data Archive. The dataset is drawn from the 'non-victim' BCS data and contains just 33 variables, some broadbanded to protect respondent confidentiality. The dataset forms part of a wider SDiT project, which is accessible via the &lt;a href="http://x4l.data-archive.ac.uk" title="SDiT (Survey Data in Teaching)"&gt;X4L - SDiT (Survey Data in Teaching)&lt;/a&gt; project web site. This project aimed to improve data literacy for students of survey methods and statistics. The full teaching materials and outputs from the project are available in the documentation table of this record (see below).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The British Crime Survey (BCS) is one of the largest social surveys conducted in Britain. It is primarily a 'victimisation' survey, in which respondents are asked about the experiences of property crimes of the household (e.g. burglary) and personal crimes (e.g. theft from the person) which they themselves have experienced. (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.) Because members of the public are asked directly about victimisation, the BCS provides a record of the experience of crime which is unaffected by variations in the behaviour of victims about reporting the incident to the police, and variations over time and between places in the police practices about recording crime. The scope of the BCS goes well beyond the counting of criminal incidents, although it is for this estimate that it has become established as a definitive source of information. In order to classify incidents, the BCS collects extensive information about the victims of crime, the circumstances in which incidents occur and the behaviour of offenders in committing crimes. In this way, the survey provides information to inform crime reduction measures and to gauge their effectiveness. The BCS has been successful at developing special measures to estimate the extent of domestic violence, stalking and sexual victimisation, which are probably the least-reported to the police but among the most serious of crimes in their impact on victims.&lt;br&gt;

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: Cambridge Centre for Business Research Survey of Venture Capital Firms in Western Europe, 2001

description: This project focused on the funding of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in different regions in Europe against the background of increasing integration of Europe’s financial space, and the specific context of dramatic transformation of regional and local banking systems and the emergence of a venture capital market. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; To the extent that a bank funding gap is emerging amongst SMEs, other sources of finance are likely to be of growing importance. One of these is the emerging European venture capital market, and this survey examined the nature, extent and role of this new circuit of finance for the SME sector. At present the venture capital market is unevenly developed, being much more advanced in the UK than in other member states. The research endeavoured to identify the reasons for this uneven development, and to assess whether the emergence of, access to, and scope for venture capital funding of SMEs is likely to benefit some local economies more than others. The evidence for the UK seems to suggest so far that the development of a geographically biased system of finance provision for SMEs in which both bank finance and venture capital favour certain (typically successful) regions over other (typically less successful) regions.&lt;br&gt;

title: Cambridge Centre for Business Research : Three Surveys of the Financing of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Western Europe, 2001

description: These surveys focus on the funding of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in three different regions in Europe: South East England, Bavaria in southern Germany and Emilia-Romagna in Italy, against the background of increasing integration of Europe’s financial space, and the specific context of dramatic transformation of regional and local banking systems and the emergence of a venture capital market. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The research focused on the implications of the restructuring, reorganisation and transformation of local and regional banking systems across Europe for the role of such banks in funding and supporting the SME sector. Local and regional banks are being rationalised as part of a wave of merger and reorganisation activity that is sweeping through Europe’s financial system. The concern is that what appears to be increasing centralisation of banking will have detrimental effects on the links between local firms, especially small and medium sized enterprises, and local banks, and the access of such firms to loan capital.
