title: Addressing Health Pensions Database, 1860-1908

description: &lt;p&gt;This data collection contains information on the health of 26,500 United Kingdom postal workers who retired between 1860 and 1908. Following the 1859 Superannuation Act, all postal workers serving for ten or more years were eligible for a pension, and those who had worked for less than years could apply for a one-off gratuity. The data were transcribed from the pension application forms submitted to the Treasury for approval when a worker either reached retirement age (60 years until 1892 when it rose to 65) or were medically incapable of performing their duties. Two types of data on the health of these workers have been transcribed from the pension forms. First, a table which provides the number of days off sick taken in each of the ten years prior to their retirement. Second, the cause of retirement, where the worker was retiring for medical reasons this cause had to be certified by a doctor. Additionally, information on each workers’ age at retirement, length of service, occupation and place of work has been transcribed from the pension forms. These data have all be checked and standardised, and the causes of retirement have been coded to ICD10h. Additional contextual information on local characteristics such as population density have been added. For a sub-set of the 26,500 retirees death dates have been traced and so information on survival post-retirement is included. These data provide a new dataset to examine morbidity and mortality across the entirety of the United Kingdom in the second half of the nineteenth century and the time of the epidemiological transition.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Improving the Quality of Teaching and Student Learning in Secondary STEM Education in Rwanda, 2019-2023
title: Leaders in Teaching: Rwanda, 2019-2023

description: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Improving the Quality of Teaching and Student Learning in Secondary STEM Education in Rwanda, 2019-2023&lt;/span&gt; includes data collected by a study aimed at generating evidence of improved teaching and learning for the Leaders in Teaching (LIT) initiative. &lt;span&gt;The LIT initiative aims to improve the quality of teaching and learning outcomes in Rwandan secondary schools. The LIT initiative includes several interventions, centred around four pillars: recruit, train, lead, and motivate. The initiative is implemented in 14 out of 30 districts in Rwanda, selected based on lowest Lower Secondary Leaving Examination results, the highest gender gap in learners’ pass rates on these exams, and the highest percentage of dropouts. As learning partners, the REAL Centre and Laterite collected data (2019-2023) to track changes on schools affected by this program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Five research instruments were used:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. School leader survey: to understand and track changes in school leader inputs, motivation, perceptions of their own leadership and teaching quality, and views towards teaching in diverse settings and COVID-19 effects, and more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Teacher survey: to understand and track changes in teacher inputs, motivation, perceptions of their own teaching quality, and views towards teaching, experience with continuous professional development and COVID-19 effects, and more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Teacher Content and Pedagogical Knowledge Assessment: to ascertain content-specific and pedagogical content teacher knowledge. It was developed as a mock grading assignment for teachers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Student Assessment: to understand and track improvements in student learning. The content is the same as the Learning Achievement in Rwandan Schools (LARS3) numeracy test. Additionally, the assessment also included a survey to collect background information on students.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Classroom Observations: to understand and track improvements in teaching processes and practices. It covers domains of teaching practice, e.g. classroom culture, instruction, socio-emotional skills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instrument 1 and 2 were deployed at 358 schools. Instruments 3-5 were applied to a subsample the 'learner schools' - of around 100 schools.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey, 2023
title: NILT

description: &lt;p&gt;The Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey (NILT) series began in 1998, and was the successor to the previous Northern Ireland Social Attitudes series, which was discontinued in 1996. NILT is run by ARK (Northern Ireland's social policy hub), which is an initiative within Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main aims of the NILT series are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to facilitate academic social policy analysis;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NILT is one of a suite of annual public attitudes surveys run by ARK.  This includes the Young Life and Times Survey (YLT) of 16 year olds which began in 2003, and the Kids' Life and Times (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) which began in 2008.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, NILT did not run in 2011 due to funding issues.  NILT resumed in 2012 (SN 7408). In addition, several open access teaching datasets were created by ARK  from various years of NILT, covering different topics such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues, politics and community relations, attitudes to ageing and ageism, and dementia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Further information about the series may be found on the ARK NILT webpage (www.ark.ac.uk/nilt)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NILT 2023&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From 1998 to 2000, NILT surveys were undertaken as a face-to-face interview, followed by a short self-completion questionnaire. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the survey has since been undertaken online. Respondents could also request to complete the survey via a phone interview if they desired.  &lt;br&gt;

title: Harpenden Growth Study, 1949-1969

description: &lt;p&gt;The Harpenden Growth Study consisted of 701 white British children, 282 girls and 419 boys, born between 1929 and 1965 (median 1949) and recruited from the Highfield Children’s Home, Harpenden, UK between 1949 and 1969 at ages between 0.9 and 20 years. They were predominantly children of manual workers or the lower middle class. The dataset includes serial anthropometric measurements (e.g., weight, height, and subcutaneous skinfold thicknesses), Tanner stages of pubertal development, and skeletal age estimates from hand-wrist x-rays. &lt;span&gt;In total, there are 8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;,188 observations (i.e., 11.6 per child on average) making Harpenden one of the most intensive growth studies ever. Data collection ended in 1975. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;All of the data were collected by a single, highly skilled, and experienced anthropometrist (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Reginald &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Whitehouse) and, as such, are of very high quality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: Centre for Time Use Research UK Time Use Survey, March 2023

description: &lt;p&gt;The Centre for Time Use Research (CTUR) Time Use Survey conducted in March 2023 is a UK representative survey of UK adults aged 18+ (N=2179) collected using a multi-field digital time-use diary design that corresponds to the information collected in best practice pen-and-paper designs such as the Harmonised European Time Use Survey (HETUS). A general-purpose time use survey design, incorporating multiple continuous independent diary fields, is important because it offers both continuity with historically collected time use diary data and versatility, providing data for a wide-ranging and still growing corpus of substantive research and policy applications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The online diary design developed at the CTUR (the Extended Light Diary Digital Instrument - ELiDDI) mimics the ‘light diary’ visually intuitive interface, and including all the fields and activities of the HETUS diary. It builds on and is compatible with the previous CaDDI online diary design used for the Centre for Time Use Research (CTUR) UK Time Use Survey 6-Wave Sequence across the COVID-19 Pandemic 2016-2021(UKDS Study ID 8741). Methodological work to date suggests that this visually intuitive design does not lead to an erosion of data quality or increased respondent burden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The nationally representative survey was conducted in March 2023 in a 3-way collaboration between CTUR, Dynata (a leading international market research agency conforming to the &lt;span&gt;Market Research Society's ethical code &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;who designed the digital diary interface) and the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), who provided the UK representative sample and ran the logistics of the data collection exercise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Respondents were invited to complete 2 diaries, one on a randomly sampled weekday, one on a weekend day, recording activities, location, co-presence, device use, and enjoyment across continuous 10-minute episodes throughout the diary day. The accompanying background questionnaire collected information on the standard socio-demographic variables, and a diary day questionnaire included additional information about each diary day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Latest edition information&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the second edition (August 2025), updated data files and accompanying documentation, and a new technical report providing technical details about the data collection, have been added. The updated dataset also includes two additional variables: panel_psu (Panel Primary Sampling Unit identifier) and panel_strata (Stratum identifier for panel sampling design).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Including these new variables allows users to exactly specify the survey design, which is advisable for computing accurate confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, and regression standard errors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Stata, the survey design can be declared using the following command:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;svyset panel_psu [pweight=rweight], strata(panel_strata)&lt;/p&gt;

title: Scottish Islands Survey, 2023

description: &lt;p&gt;The Scottish Islands Survey (2023) &lt;span&gt;gathered views about different aspects of island life from Scottish island residents. The topics explored in the survey aligned with the objectives set out in the Scottish Government’s National Islands Plan (2019), including housing, transport, economic development and communities, plus a focus on how the cost-of-living crisis is affecting island residents. The data contributes to measuring progress towards the objectives set out in the National Islands Plan (2019) as well as the development of a new National Islands Plan to be published in 2025. The 2023 survey builds on data gathered in the National Islands Plan Survey (2020). Surveys were distributed to 20,000 adult residents of 75 inhabited islands in November 2023.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Data formats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;An .rds version of the data file for R users is included alongside the Excel version, in the Excel download zip file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: Northern Ireland General Election Attitudes Surveys, 2010-

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Northern Ireland General Election Survey, 2024&lt;/span&gt; investigated how the Northern Ireland electorate voted (or didn’t vote) at the 2024 General Election and the reasons behind their voting choices. The study examines the basis of party choice, attitudes to political institutions, views on Brexit, and a range of other political issues in Northern Ireland. The study is based upon a representative sample of 2,034 Northern Ireland electors, surveyed face-to-face between 19 July 2024 and 27 August 2024 following the General Election (4 July 2024).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information can be found on the UKRI Gateway to Research webpage for &lt;a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FZ503058%2F1"&gt;the 2024 Northern Ireland General Election study&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FZ503058%2F1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; project. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The study builds on a series of post-general election surveys conducted in Northern Ireland. These are held at the UK Data Service, and include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;SN 6553 -  Northern Ireland General Election Attitudes Survey, 2010;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; SN 7523 - Northern Ireland General Election Survey, 2015;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;SN 8234 - Northern Ireland General Election Survey, 2017; and &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;SN 8619 - Northern Ireland General Election Survey 2019.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

title: CAM+; CAM Plus

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Cancer Awareness Measure&lt;/span&gt; (CAM) was developed in 2007-8 to address the absence of a validated measure of general public awareness of cancer (Stubbings, S., Robb, K., Waller, J., Ramirez, A., Austoker, J., Macleod, U., Hion, S., and Wardle, J. (2009) 'Development of a measurement tool to assess public awareness of cancer', British Journal of Cancer, 101(2), S13-S17.).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The survey includes measures of awareness of signs and symptoms of cancer, cancer risk factors, age-related risk, screening programmes and potential barriers to seeing the GP. Since then, Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has significantly revised and updated the survey, including a wider range of questions and collecting data online instead of face-to-face. The CAM was also previously known as the National Awareness and Early Diagnosis Initiative Cancer Awareness Measure (NAEDI-CAM).&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;In 2023-2024 Cancer Research UK ran two &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Local Cancer Awareness Measure Plus&lt;/span&gt; (CAM+) pilots, collecting data in two local regions (Greater Manchester and Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR)) using both an online panel and community sampling to recruit participants. The LLR pilot Local CAM+ datasets are available under SNs 9343 and 9359.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Greater Manchester (GM) pilot Local CAM+ dataset does not include National CAM+ questions on alcohol consumption, physical activity, perception of health services capacity and closeness to cancer. However, it includes additional questions on possible facilitators for cancer screening attendance and willingness to travel for hospital tests.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A Special Licence version of this data, including more geography and demographic variables, is available under SN 9358.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Further information about the CAM+ may be found on the &lt;a href="https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/awareness-and-prevention/the-cancer-awareness-measures-cam-plus" target="_blank"&gt;Cancer Research UK Cancer Awareness Measure Plus &lt;/a&gt;(CAM+) webpage.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Participation Survey, 2021-

description: &lt;p&gt;The Participation Survey is a continuous push-to-web survey of adults aged 16 and over in England. It serves as a successor to the &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000052"&gt;Taking Part&lt;/a&gt; survey, which ran for 16 years as a continuous face to face survey. Paper surveys are available for those not digitally engaged. Fieldwork started in October 2021 and it is envisaged that the survey will be a key evidence source for Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and its sectors by providing statistically representative national estimates of adult engagement with the DCMS sectors. The survey’s main objectives are to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Provide a central, reliable evidence source that can be used to analyse cultural, digital, and sporting engagement, providing a clear picture of why people do or do not engage.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Provide data at a county level to meet user needs, including providing evidence for the levelling up agenda.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Underpin further research on driving engagement and the value and benefits of engagement.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information on the survey can be found on the gov.uk &lt;a title="Participation Survey" href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/participation-survey"&gt;Participation Survey&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Participation survey is a continuous push to web survey of adults aged 16 and over in England. There are paper &lt;span&gt;surveys available for those not digitally engaged.
