National Statistics Omnibus Survey - Technical Report February 2003

1. The Sample Interviews are conducted with approximately 1,800 adult individuals (aged 16 or over) in private households in Great Britain each month. The Omnibus Survey uses the Postcode Address File of “small users” as its sampling frame, all private household addresses in Great Britain are included in this frame. A new sample of 100 postal sectors is selected each month and is stratified by: region; the proportion of households renting from local authorities; and the proportion in which the household reference person is in Socio-Economic Group 1-5 or 13 (i.e. a professional, employer or manager). The postal sectors are selected with probability proportionate to size and, within each sector, 30 addresses (delivery points) are selected randomly. If an address contains more than one household, the interviewer uses a standard ONS procedure to randomly select just one household. Within households, with more than one adult member, just one person aged 16 or over is selected with the use of random number tables. The interviewers endeavour to interview that person - proxy interviews are not taken. 2. Weighting the data Weighting factors are applied to Omnibus data to correct for unequal probability of selection caused by interviewing only one adult per household, or restricting the eligibility of the module to certain types of respondent. It should be noted that this weighting corrects for unequal probabilities of selection; it does not attempt to correct for any non-response bias. Using weighted data Within the calculation of the weight the base is scaled back to the unweighted total. If a module of questions applied only to a sub-group of the population, for example eligibility was restricted by age, or the module was asked only in England, the weight for the module is calculated for that sub-group and the base, for the weighted data, scaled back to the unweighted figure. When conducting statistical significance tests, using weighted data, the unweighted base should be used. For tests on the total (module) population the base shown should be used - because this is the unweighted base. However, if sub-groups of the total (module) population are created, for example sub-groups in terms of sex, age-group, region etc., the base shown is the weighted base for that sub-group - because the weight was generated for the whole (module) population. Therefore, when conducting statistical significance tests on these sub-groups, the unweighted base for the sub-group should be used - this can be found by running tables, etc. without applying the weight - in conjunction with the weighted data.

i. Unit of analysis: Household On occasions, a module may collect information about the household rather than the individual and the appropriate unit of analysis will be the household rather than the individual. For example, the questions might be concerned with details about the accommodation which could be supplied by any adult member of the household. In this case, no weighting is required because the information is collected from every household in the responding sample. ii. Weight A - Unit of analysis: Individual Because only one household member is interviewed, people in households containing few adults have a better chance of selection than those in households with many. Weight A is applied to correct for this unequal probability, and is calculated by dividing the number of adults in the sampled household by the average number of adults per household. The base is then adjusted back to the number of respondents who were interviewed. Weight A is applied to modules which use the individual adult as the unit of analysis. iii. Weight C - Unit of analysis: Household Reference Person or spouse Sometimes information about the household is required that can only be supplied reliably by the household reference person or their spouse/partner. The probability that the selected respondent will be eligible for the module will be 2/n or 1/n (where n is the number of adults in the household) : if the Household Reference Person (HRP) is married/cohabiting the probability that the selected respondent will be eligible is 2/n, if the HRP is not married/cohabiting the probability is 1/n. The weighting factor corrects for unequal probability of selection and then adjusts the base back to that of the actual number of respondents that complete the module. Effective Sample Size This method of sampling and the consequent weighting affect the sampling errors of the survey estimates. The effect can be shown by calculating the Effective Sample Size which gives the size of an equal probability sample which is equivalent in precision to the unequal probability sample actually used. The Effective Sample Size will vary slightly from one month to another with the proportions of interviews in different sized households. On average the Effective Sample Size of the Omnibus Survey is 84% to 86% of the actual sample of individuals, when Weight A is applied. An achieved sample of 2000 individual adults in the Omnibus Survey is equivalent to an equal probability sample of about 17001. Where individuals are interviewed as representing their households and no weighting is needed, there is no reduction in precision. Where questions relating to the household are addressed only to the Household Reference Person (HRP) or the spouse of the HRP and Weight C is applied, the Effective Sample Size is 86% to 87% of the interviewed sample. The proportion of households in which the selected respondent is the HRP or spouse has varied between 82% and 95% so the sample size for this kind of module will be about 1665 if the total sample is 2000. The Effective Sample Size will be about 1450.

3. Field Work All interviews are carried out face-to-face by members of the general field force of interviewers trained to carry out National Statistics surveys. Advance letters are sent to all addresses, prior to the interview, giving a brief account of the survey. The interviewing period starts during the last two weeks of the month and continues into the first week of the following month. Interviewers call at all the selected addresses unless a refusal has been made beforehand in response to the advanced letter. The interviewer makes at least three calls at an address at different times of the day and week before coding the household as a non-contact. As with all National Statistics surveys, a quality check on field work is carried out through recall interviews with a proportion of respondents to make sure that the interviews actually took place with those respondents and that responses to questions are consistent. 4. Calculation of Response Rate The small users’ Postcode Address File includes some business addresses and other addresses, such as new and empty properties, at which no private households are living. The expected proportion of such addresses, which are classified as ineligible, is about 11-12%. They are eliminated from the set sample before response rates are calculated. A responding individual may be ineligible for certain modules and may not have answered every single question.

5. Response Rate for February 2003 The response rate is calculated as the number of achieved interviews as a percentage of the eligible sample. The response rate for February was 67% as shown below: % % Selected addresses 3,000 100 Ineligible addresses 232 8 Eligible addresses 2768 92 Refusals 693 25 Non-Contacts 227 8 Interviews Achieved 1848 67

6. Output contained in the report a. Frequency counts Frequency counts for the classificatory variables and client questions are provided, showing non-response to individual questions (item non-response). Item non-response occurs for three reasons: a. the respondent was not eligible for the question and they were routed past the

question. b. the respondent was unable to answer (did not know) the question. c. the respondent refused to answer the question. b. Tables Each table is based on the sample answering both the client question and the relevant classificatory question so both the base and the percentages in the total column may vary slightly from one table to another. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number. Tables based on questions that allow more than one answer to be given (multiple response questions) contain all the responses given by the respondent. The percentages in the table may therefore add up to more than 100% because respondents may give more than one answer. Some bases within tables are very small. The confidence intervals surrounding percentages calculated on bases of 30 cases or less will be very large and we would advise that such results are reported with a great deal of caution. c. Classificatory variables The module variable names are related to the program question numbers. Module variables are prefixed with M. The classification variables use names. These follow Social Survey Division standards for surveys wherever possible. Notes on the classificatory variables follow:

Omnibus Survey [PA181]

MMoonntthhllyy IInnssttrruuccttiioonnss:: FFeebbrruuaarryy 22000033

What is the Omnibus Survey? Despite the general perception of the public, an Omnibus Survey has little to do with public transport. Its name Omnibus is latin meaning "for all" – and relates to the comprehensive nature of the survey. As a multi-purpose survey, it is often used for a variety of reasons. Among these are the following.

• It can provide quick answers to questions of immediate policy interest. • It can measure the efficiency of publicity campaigns. • It can measure public awareness of new policies. • It can be used to provide a sample of respondents for follow-up investigations. • It can be used for question testing and piloting.

The Omnibus Survey is different from all other SSD surveys. It is composed of separate modules, each normally sponsored by a range of clients and customers. Buying in space for a module of questions on an Omnibus Survey can prove cheaper and more efficient for some clients than the alternative of setting up an Ad hoc survey from scratch – particularly as the set-up costs are shared across the clients of all modules. The Omnibus Survey is used by non-profit making organisations such as other government departments, academics and charities. Under rare circumstances, we may take work from the private sector but only if they can make a case for using our survey over and above other available private-sector surveys. We may consider this if (for example) they want base-line estimates from a random-sample survey. Other organisations (such as BMRB, MORI and NOP) also conduct Omnibus Surveys. We often run in direct competition to these. Though they can produce data quicker than us (owing to their sampling techniques), clients who have used other omnibus surveys have commented of the better quality of data provided by the National Statistics' survey. (Data is still provided quickly to clients by us – being delivered on CD just three weeks after the end of the field period.)

Unlike other Omnibus Surveys, the National Statistics' version is the only one to use a strictly random probability sample. This means that the accuracy of the estimates produced can be measured statistically. The modules on the survey are independent of each other, and therefore this survey does not carry the same level of checks across the questionnaire as other surveys do. Though not all modules will be asked of the selected individual respondent, it is important for those that are asked that the respondent's full participation is obtained.

The ONS Omnibus Survey does not publish large general reports, but sometimes we are asked to write up individual topics. Sometimes reports are published by the client department. Mentioning some of these short reports might help persuade potential respondents to take part. It might also help to say that government departments often include modules on the Omnibus and use the results to develop and modify their policies. Press releases for the Internet access module, Gambling Review report, Drinking, Smoking and Contraception modules can be found on the Omnibus webpage at www.statistics.gov.uk.

starting with the eldest.

MarStat If person is married but not separated and yet living apart from their partner for some reason e.g. work, then you would still record them as married and living with their wife/husband.

Hhldr This question is standard across all household surveys. It is in place in order to aid the calculation of the HRP. It refers to household members only. The accommodation can only be owned or rented (3) ‘jointly’ with another household member. If the accommodation is owned or rented jointly with a person outside of the household and with no other household member you will code '1. This person only’ rather than '3. This person jointly.'

Depchd This new question has been added to the household box and asks those aged 16 to 18, who are single, whether they are still at school or in full-time education, and are therefore considered dependent children. At HHTYPB, the computer will check that there are dependent children listed in the household box if codes 1 or 3 are entered.

Definition of dependent child aged 16-18 In order to establish whether or not a child aged 16 – 18 is a dependent child or not and therefore a member of the respondents family some additional questions are asked. The purpose is to establish whether or not the 16-18 year old is still in non-advanced further education. This includes all courses up to and including ‘A’ level. Such courses would include National Diploma (OND) National Certificate (ONC) A/S level GCS A level GCSE City and Guilds/BTEC foundation programmes SCOTVEC: National Certificate Scottish Certificate of Secondary Education: ordinary standard and higher grades CSYS (Scotland) City and Guilds Level 1: General Education Level 2: Industrial Competence Level 3: Leading to supervisory roles RSA Course (most) – Pre-vocational Office/secretarial studies Advanced Diploma

University and other higher education, which includes all degree or degree equivalent education would count as advanced education. In which case the child would not be counted as a dependent child.

HRP, HHTYPEB, and TENURE

Although these questions refer to the circumstances of the Household Reference Person (HRP) you should get the information from the selected person. The full definition of the HRP is in your Annual Reference Instructions (pp. 55-60) and replaces the old Head of Household definition (HOH). The HRP will be the sole householder or householder with the highest income in the case of joint ownership and they are likely to have a large influence on the household the respondent lives in. It is therefore important for us to know who the HRP is and a little bit about them (household type and tenure) as the questions are also used to get an idea of what type of household the respondent lives in. Of course, in many instances the respondent is the HRP – therefore the questions refer to the respondent's own circumstances.

Hout A list of Omnibus outcome codes are given in your Annual Reference Instructions. Please

be absolutely certain of your outcome before your final transmission back to the office. It is important to make at least 4 calls to an address before returning it as a non contact and important that you are clear about the distinction between an eligible and an ineligible address. Take the time at the start of your quota to check all your addresses thoroughly for ineligibility.

11 Fully Cooperating case - Classification section completed and at least one other module. However, we expect you to complete as much of the questionnaire as possible.

M210 Mod 210: Tobacco consumption This module is being run for Customs and Excise and will help them estimate the amount of tobacco that is consumed as cigarettes. Do not comment on the hazards of smoking or mention your own feelings about smoking. M210_1 Do not define ‘nowadays’ for respondents but ask them to decide for themselves. M210_2 Note that daily figures are required at both these questions. M210_3 M210_4 If respondents say that they smoke both packeted and hand-rolled cigarettes please

probe to clarify whether they mainly smoke one sort more than the other. We are only interested in ordinary tobacco which is smoked. You should therefore ignore any references to snuff, tobacco or tobacco products that are chewed or sucked or herbal tobaccos.

M327 Module 327: SunSmart for Department of Public Health, University College

London

This module is being asked on behalf of researchers at the Department of Public Health, University College London (UCL). Purpose of the module In 2002, Cancer Research UK launched a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of the sun and the precautions people should take against sunburn. This initiative, which was called SunSmart 2002, aimed at raising sun awareness to the public through the press, media, leaflets and posters. This module asks respondents whether they have heard of SunSmart 2002 and what the main messages of the campaign were. The aims of this module are to: • assess levels of awareness of SunSmart 2002 campaign The SunSmart campaign will be re-run in 2003. Ultimately, the aim of this module is to measure the effects of the SunSmart 2003 initiative, by assessing awareness levels pre- and post-campaign. M327_1

This question establishes whether the respondent has heard of a campaign that gave information about sun exposure and the precautions people should take.

M327_2

This question is only asked of those who have heard of a campaign. In order to assess accurately the public awareness of SunSmart it is important that you do not prompt the response categories. • Sunsafe is the Department of Health's campaign to prevent skin

cancer. It gives straightforward information about the dangers of the sun, and practical advice on how to minimise them.

• Sunsafe follows on from the Sun Know How programme, which the Health Education Authority (HEA) ran from 1994. (After the dissolution of the HEA in 31 March 2000, the Department of Health took responsibility for skin cancer prevention.)

• The "slip, slop, slap" public health campaign was an Australian campaign to reduce skin cancer. This initiative was originally launched in 1981.

M327_3

This question is asked of everyone, irrespective of whether or not they have heard of SunSmart.

M327_4M This question is asked of those who (claim to) have heard of SunSmart. Code all that apply. Do not prompt.

M327_5M This question is asked of everyone. It asks about the precautions that one should take in order to minimise the risk of skin cancer. Code all that apply. Do not prompt.

M327_6a To M327_6d

Opinion.

M327_7 Self-assessment of skin-type. Opinion

M327_8 Whether or not the respondent takes any measures to protect themselves. Do not prompt. If respondent states that they sometimes do anything to protect themselves from the sun and/or prevent skin cancer, code yes.

M327_9M Question asked of those who do anything to protect themselves. Code all that apply. Do not prompt.

M327_10a To M327_10g

These questions are asked of everyone. The questions ask the respondent to assess the importance (on a scale from very important to not at all important) of a number of factors, in terms of increasing the risk of skin cancer. Opinion.

M316 Mod 316: Reusable nappies

This module is being asked on behalf of the Environment Agency who are interested in people who currently use or have used reusable nappies in the past. The module is asked of those respondents who are the parent or guardian of a child aged under 10 (a child who has not yet reached his/her 10th birthday) living in the household. Questions are asked for each child of this age in the household so you may follow more than one loop if there is more than one child in that age range. They are asked about the type of nappies used and the age of the child when they stopped using nappies during the day. If the child is currently still in nappies then the parents are also asked how many nappy changes their children need in a 24-hour period. Only about 10% of nappies sold are reusable ones. The client will need to run this module for a few Omnibus cycles in order to get the base numbers they need so any comments from you on this trial module would be appreciated. M316_2 Record the age of each child aged 0-10. Record the age in years and months

using the decimal place facility. For example, 5 years and 10 months should be recorded as 05.10. A 3-month-old baby would be shown as 00.03.

M316_3 Asked if child aged 0 to 4 years (not yet reached 5th birthday). Note that Training

pants (sometimes referred to as pull-ups) should NOT be included as nappies. M316_4 If the child is aged 5 or over or the respondent is no longer using nappies on their

child during the day (M316_3) then they are asked at what age their child stopped using nappies. Again, this should be recorded in years and months as described above.

M316_5 Respondents may use a combination of both disposable and reusable nappies.

Some supermarkets sell environmentally friendly disposable nappies - these are still counted as disposables.

M316_6 Only respondents who use(d) reusables or a combination are asked what type of

reusable nappies they use(d). This is a multi-code. We would like to know of all the types they use(d).

M316_7/ Asks what type of nappy respondents mainly use(d). M316_8

M321 Mod 321: Telephones This module contains questions about telephones. The module is being asked on behalf of Social Survey Division as part of their methodology work on Random Digit Dialling for telephone surveys. Include items that are either owned by the household or available for use in the respondent’s accommodation. Broken items not intended for repair should be excluded. Items that are currently being stored or under repair should also be excluded. Old mobile phones no longer in use should be excluded.

M321_1 Include shared telephones located in public hallways only if the respondent’s household is responsible for paying the account.

DO NOT include mobile phones at this question.

We are asking the following questions for each separate fixed telephone line.

M321_2 We are interested in finding out how many separate fixed telephone lines each household has not how many extensions there are. Each line will have a separate number. Please exclude mobile ‘phones’ here.

M321_3 Only code ‘some other company’ if the respondent’s phone line is supplied by a company other than BT or a cable company. If the respondent does not know who supplies their phone line use CTRL + K to record ‘Don’t Know’.

M321_4 Phone lines not supplied by BT will still be included in the Telephone Directory UNLESS the household has asked for it to be excluded (ex directory).

M321_7 Include answer machines and answering services (for example those offered by BT).

M321_8 Include fax machines used only for business - these are identified at the next question (FAXUSE).

M321_10 Answer ‘yes’ if anyone in the respondent’s household has a mobile phone.

M321_11 We don't think there is any need for instruction for this question.

M321_12 For each mobile phone number respondents will be asked whether or not the number is used for business calls only.

M321_13a/ Asks how many adults and how many children use the phone. If no adults or no children use M321_13b the phone then record ‘0’. Count users of the phone irrespective of whether they are household members. Users = regular users.

M321_14 Pay as you go phones (also known as 'prepaid' or 'talk as you go' phones) require calls to be paid for through vouchers, credit cards etc. Contract phones require a monthly bill to be paid.

M323 Module 323 : Withheld deposits

This module is being asked on behalf of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. They are interested in respondents who have lived in privately rented accommodation in the last five years and have either entered or left a private tenancy agreement in the last five years. Private rented accommodation is housing rented from a private landlord, that is property not owned by the Council or Housing Associations. Some bodies or organisations that respondents may think of as public institutions may let accommodation, such as universities and the Crown. These are legally private landlords and so should be included. Housing Associations are nowadays known as Registered Social Landlords and they have a non-private status if registered with the Housing Corporation. Non-registered Housing Associations are officially known as private landlords. Tenancy agreement - A tenancy agreement is a contract between a landlord and tenant that sets out the terms and conditions of the tenant living in the landlords property. Tenancy agreements can be verbal or in writing. Most landlords give their tenants a written tenancy agreement. Please include own tenancy agreements and joint tenancy agreements. Deposits - Most private landlords ask new tenants to pay a deposit. The landlord then holds the deposit throughout the tenancy in case the tenant causes damage to the property, doesn't pay the rent or bills, or leaves the property unclean. The module asks respondents to remember back over 5 years, it is acceptable to input an estimate in cases where the respondent is unclear of the exact amount. In cases where the circumstance has happened more than once, please record the most recent time. You will then be prompted if there are any further times and if there is, you will be asked the questions again. Always start with most recent and then move on to next most recent, etc. M323_1

This question establishes whether the respondent has lived in privately rented accommodation in the last five years. For respondents who currently live in privately rented accommodation, this answer is imputed.

M323_2

This question asks whether the respondent has moved into privately rented accommodation in the last five years. Include agreements in respondents name alone and joint tenancy agreements.

M323_3

This question is asked to all respondents who have entered into a private rented accommodation in the last five years. This question asks about fees that a respondent might have paid in the last five years to a landlord or letting agency NOT INCLUDING THE DEPOSIT. Fees can be charged to cover such things as administration costs such as references, inventories or contracts. Fees can be charged to cover introducing the tenant and the landlord. Holding fees can also be charged to a tenant to ensure that no-one else views or


13

rents the property. These can be returnable or non-returnable. Start loop of questions

M323_4

If a respondent has been charged a fee, they are asked to code which fee that they have been charged in the last five years. Please record the most recent fee first, followed by the next time and so on.

M323_5

Please record the amount in pounds. An estimate is acceptable.

M323_6

This question asks for the respondents opinion of whether they thought the fee charged was reasonable or unreasonable.

M323_7

If the respondent has been charged a fee by a landlord or letting agent, not including the deposit, on another occasion then please record yes at this question. The program will then loop round and ask questions 4-7 again. End of loop.

M323_8

This question is asked to all private renters and asks for their opinion on how often they think private renters receive all or part of their deposit back.

M323_9

This question asks about whether the respondent has moved out of privately rented accommodation in the last five years.

The next set of questions are about withholding the final rent payment from a landlord or agency. Sometimes respondents withhold their final rent payment in lieu of the deposit. M323_10

This questions establishes whether respondents have withheld their final rent payment in lieu of deposit in the last five years. Only include if they withheld the rent in lieu of the deposit and not for any other reason. There will be circumstances where a respondent has not paid a deposit, please code this at code 3, 'never paid a deposit'. Start of loop of questions

M323_11

Tenants can withhold their final rent payment with or without the agreement of their landlord or letting agent. If this has occurred on more than one occasion, please record the most recent time and then the next most recent time, and so on.

M323_12M

This multi-code question is asked to people who withheld their final rent payment with the agreement of the landlord and asks why the respondent did not pay the final rent payment.

M323_13

Please record the amount that was not paid as a proportion of the rent, i.e. a weeks rent or two weeks rent. An estimate is acceptable.

M323_14 If the respondents has not paid some or all of their final rent


14

payment on another occasion then please record yes at this question. The program will then loop round and ask questions 11-14 again. End of loop.

The next set of questions are about the returning of deposits for privately rented accommodation, in the last five years. Start of loop M323_15

Please record how much deposit was paid, as a proportion of the rent, e.g. four weeks rent. If a respondent has paid more one deposit, please record the most recent time and then the next most recent time, and so on. An estimate is acceptable.

M323_16

This question asks about the returning of that deposit, was it returned in full, returned in part or never returned at all.

M323_16a

This question establishes if the deposit was not returned because of any rent that was due.

M323_17

Please record verbatim why the landlord or agency did not return the deposit or only returned part the deposit.

M323_18

For respondents who have only had their deposit returned in part, please record how much deposit was kept, as a proportion of the rent, e.g. two weeks rent. An estimate is acceptable.

M323_19

If the respondent received all their deposit back or received their deposit back in part they are asked if there was a delay in receiving the deposit back. Please count a delay as being more than one week.

M323_20

Please record how long the respondent had to wait for the deposit to be returned.

M323_21

Please record verbatim why the landlord or agency delayed returning the deposit.

M323_22

If the respondents has paid a deposit on another occasion then please record yes at this question. The program will then loop round and ask questions 15-21 again. End of loop.

M311 Module 311 : Stepfamilies

This module is also being asked on behalf of the Population and Demography Division at the Office for National Statistics. Although this module may look similar to module 310 for the Lord Chancellor’s Department there are differences. 1. This module asks about dependent children and not just children under the age of 16 as in M310. A

dependent child is aged under 16 or 16 to 18 if still in full-time non-advanced education (see classificatory section for full definition of dependent child).

2. This module includes adopted and step-children but NOT foster children. Module 310 only included

birth children. 3. This module is asked of everyone aged 16 or over and therefore includes widowed people. Module

310 excluded widowed because of the nature of the questioning. 4. This module also asks about dependent children belonging to the respondent AND/OR their

spouse/partner and not just the respondent themselves. The module is asked of all ages including people who may be elderly. This is because we are investigating step-families. Someone who is much older may be having a relationship with someone much younger and therefore still have dependent children. However, you may want to preamble this module to the very elderly by using phrases such as ‘this may not apply to you’. It is also possible that you may already know the answer to the questions in which case you can record rather than ask. However in cases of married and cohabiting couples you will not have asked about the situation regarding the spouse/partner. You may also not know about older (16-28) dependent children so again you may want to preamble by saying ‘may I just check’. Do not make any assumptions. M311_1 Asks about dependent children the respondent has, OR their current spouse/partner has

(if they are married or cohabiting), living in the household with them. You can record up to 10 children. In the very unlikely situation that there are more than 10 dependent children record information for the 10 youngest and open a note.

M311_2 Asks for the ages of the dependent children living with the respondent (and their current

spouse/partner). Please record in years and round down to the nearest year. For example if the child were aged 11 years and 11 months you would code them as being aged 11 years.

The questioning asks respondent to start with the youngest dependent child and work

through to the eldest.


16

M311_3 If the respondent is currently married or cohabiting then they will be asked for the

relationship of each child to them and their spouse/partner. Please treat adopted children as if they were natural children. The children can be categorised as follows:

1. Natural child of both respondent and their current spouse/partner 2. Respondent’s natural child and the step-child of their current spouse/partner 3. Respondent’s step-child and the natural child of their current spouse/partner 4. Step-child of respondent and their current spouse/partner

(Note: it will be rare to use code 4) M311_4M Answer categories:

1. Yes, respondent has children who live elsewhere 2. Yes, spouse/partner has children who live elsewhere 3. Yes, both respondent and spouse/partner have children who live elsewhere 4. No, neither respondent nor spouse/partner have children who live elsewhere 5. Don't know

If the respondent is single, widowed, divorced or separated i.e. not living with a partner,

then they only codes 1, 4 or 5 are available to you for coding and you will code only one outcome.

However, if the respondent is married or cohabiting with someone else in the household

then you may code all that apply since both the respondent and their spouse/partner may have dependent children who live elsewhere.

Only include dependent children whose main residence is elsewhere. DO NOT include

dependent children who are temporarily absent such as those at boarding school or in juvenile detention etc.

M311_5 Asks how many dependant children the respondent and/or their spouse/partner have

living elsewhere. M311_6 Asks for the ages of these dependent children starting with the youngest. If there are

more than 10 please make notes. M311_7 Same as M311_3 to married and cohabiting respondents but about dependent children

living elsewhere.

M326

Module 326: Citizen Information Project This module of questions is being asked on behalf of the Office for National Statistics and HM Treasury. These questions aim to measure public opinion on the possibility of having a shared government database.


17

There are many large public sector registers on the British population at the moment. These include those for National Insurance and income tax purposes; the NHS; driver and vehicle owner registers; on passport holders, council taxpayers and voters. Each one attempts to collect similar basic information on people (e.g. name, address and date of birth). Collecting the data and keeping it up-to-date is currently carried out separately for each register. This can cause considerable duplication of effort and inconvenience when for example someone moves home. These questions examine the feasibility of developing one shared population register. This would hold a Personal Reference number and basic data on every UK resident. It could be used across the public sector. We are trying to find out more about public perceptions towards such a register and the factors that will affect their views. Throughout the module “government” includes central and local government unless it states otherwise. Questions M326_1a, M326_1b, M326_1c, M326_1d, M326_1e and M326_1f are asked separately from the rest of Module M326. They are asked directly after the Internet module (M264). M326a M326_1a M326_1a asks whether respondents have heard of Internet

companies that update addresses and contact details when people move home for example ihavemoved.com and changeofaddress.com E.g. ihavemoved.com saves people time by informing their utilities, the government and anyone else they want to tell that they're moving home. Online, by post or over the phone.

M326_1b Asks those who have heard of the services described in M326_1a whether they have ever used them.

M326_1c Asks whether they have heard of ‘Loyalty card’ schemes. There are many loyalty card schemes. We have given just a few examples: Nectar, Tesco Clubcard and Boots Advantage card. Consumers can gain points when they shop in relevant stores with these. They can use points to spend on various products. The Nectar card is the joint venture of Sainsbury's, Debenhams, BP and Barclaycard.

M326_1d Asks those who have heard of loyalty card schemes whether they have ever used them.

M326_1e Asks whether the respondent has heard of ‘proof of age’ schemes. “CitizenCard” is a global photo-ID scheme used to provide proof of age and identity. It can be used as a form of identification in many different places including airports and banks. Use of a CitizenCard is voluntary and they are available to people of all ages. “The Portman Proof of Age card” is a proof of age card set up by the UK’s leading drinks manufacturers (The Portman Group). It is available only to young people of 18-25 to assist them in purchasing alcohol legally and to enable retailers and licensees to identify whether or not their customers are over 18.


18

M326_1f Asks those who have heard of ‘proof of age’ schemes whether they have ever used them.

M326b The following questions will be asked separately from M326a. M326_2 Asks whether the respondent would be happy with the listed

personal information on a shared central register. “Place of birth” refers to the town the respondent was born in. “Main address” - If respondent has more than one address this refers to the address he/she regards as being his/her main address. “Marital Status” refers to whether the respondent is married, single, divorced, separated or widowed. “Occupation” – If in employment this would be a basic description of profession, not detailed information. “Basic Health details” would include disabilities and blood group. There would not be a link to detailed medical records. “Criminal Record” refers to recent unspent criminal convictions (those which are still on the valid criminal record). This is not an entire criminal history and would not include things like parking tickets.

M326_3 This question refers to a database containing only the 7 items of information on prompt card C326_3a (Name, Date of birth, Place of birth, Main address, Marital status, Gender, Personal Reference number). It does not refer to the longer list of items of personal information that appeared in M326_2. The rest of the module also asks about a database containing only the items shown on prompt card C326_3a. Display prompt card C326_3a for the rest of the module. “Other Private sector service providers” refers to private sector service providers other than utility companies, for example phone companies, credit reference agencies, stores, banks, financial agencies.

Spec3 Please record any answers that do not fit into the answer categories at M323_3.

M326_4a

Asks whether the respondent thinks there would be any benefits from a shared central register containing the information on prompt


19

card C326_3a. Subsequent questioning asks what those benefits would be.

M326_5a Asks whether the respondent would have any concerns about a shared central register containing the information on prompt card C326_3a. Subsequent questioning asks what those concerns are.

M326_4b Asks those respondents who thought a shared central register (containing the information on prompt card C326_3a) would have benefits what they think these benefits would be. We are asking you to code the answers given spontaneously by the respondent. Do not give examples. Prompt a/e only. Code 3 “Government will be able to provide me with a better service” For example people moving home will only have to report their change of address to one government agency and all their new details will be fed to all the other government departments. Code 4 “People less able to commit fraud” For instance, people would not be able to obtain 2 passports.

Spec4 Please record any answers that do not fit into the answer categories at M326_4b. Please open a Blaise notebook if you run out of room to record answer.

M326_5b Asks those respondents who would have concerns about a shared central register (containing the information on prompt card C326_3a) what would concern them. We are asking you to code the answers given spontaneously by the respondent. Do not give examples. Prompt a/e only.

Spec5 Please record any answers which do not fit into the answer categories at M326_5b. Please open a Blaise notebook if you run out of room to record answer.

M326_6 Asks whether the respondent thinks the government should have a shared central database containing the details shown on Prompt card C326_3a.

M326_6a Asks those who think the government should have a central shared database whether they think the database should be used only by government or by other organisations as well.

M266 Module 266 Ethnicity and National identity There is currently much debate about how to ask the ethnic group question on surveys and on the Census form. The debate is not only about the question content but also any context effects which might influence how the question is responded to. Over the next few months the Omnibus survey will be conducting a split sample experiment on behalf of Ethnicity and Identity Branch at ONS. Half the sample will be asked the National Identity question followed by the Ethnic Group question and half will be asked the Ethnic Group question followed by National Identity. Please note that we are asking the Census ethnic group question which includes the additional category ‘White Irish’. National Identity We want people to be able to choose one national identity if that’s how they think of themselves, or if they really hold more than one identity, then to be able to express this. Therefore please make sure that you read out the phrase “ Please choose as many or as few as apply“ clearly and slowly so that respondents realise that they can select more than one answer if necessary. Please pause long enough after they have given an answer to allow them time to choose another answer if they want to. If respondents ask you for a definition of National Identity, please say it is whatever it means to them. Never attempt any judgement of your own." Ethnic Group We need to know what ethnic group the respondent thinks he or she is in. Never attempt any judgement of your own. The categories are: • White British • White Irish • Any other White background • Mixed - White and Black Caribbean • Mixed - White and Black African • Mixed - White and Asian • Any other Mixed background • Asian or Asian British – Indian • Asian or Asian British – Pakistani • Asian or Asian British – Bangladeshi • Asian or Asian British - Any other Asian background • Black or Black British - Black Caribbean • Black or Black British - Black African • Black or Black British - Any other Black background • Chinese or other ethnic group – Chinese • Chinese or other ethnic group - Any other

M325 Mod 325: Older workers

for Department of Educational Studies, University of Surrey This module is being asked on behalf of researchers at the Department of Educational Studies, at the University of Surrey. They are interested in finding out about changes to the respondent’s working situation, which may have occurred in the past three years. The aim of this module is to provide baseline data for further research into the labour market behaviour of older workers. It therefore seeks to define the extent to which older workers are different from younger ones in behaviour and attitudes to employment, their expectations/experience of retirement, and the extent to which they use education and training to support job change. The client aims to examine 10 groups, those who:

a. Change employer b. Change job/role with same employer c. Change hours d. Become freelance or occasional employees e. Become self-employed f. Start work after a period of caring etc g. Start employment after self-employment h. Are made redundant i. Choose to leave paid work j. Retire

M325_1M

Code all that apply. 1. Job/role not changed/still in same job - code if respondent’s paid job or role has not changed at all in the last 5 years. If respondents have taken on additional responsibilities but their role is essentially the same, this would not count as a job change unless they switched to a different project or department or changed hours. If they were promoted then this would also be coded 4. Include if respondent on career break or on maternity leave. Include if office moved to new location but respondent still in same job. 2. Not worked in paid job - code if respondent has not had a paid job in the last 5 years and if the respondent has never had a paid job. Changed job 3 Changed job – different employer. This includes any change including things like to part-time working, or if on contract or temporary work as long as the change is to a different employer. In the case of students who have part-time jobs (e.g. bar work) we are only interested in changes into (or out of) a full-time job. Do not include students’ transitions between part-time jobs (e.g. between bar jobs).


2

4. Changed job/role – same employer (include changed department, additional responsibilities, promotion). Include if they do temporary work or work on contract for the same employer, e.g. work for a temp agency but do not include contract extensions. 5. Reduced/increased working hours/days – same employer. Include if changed from full-time to part time. Do not include increasing or decreasing amount of overtime. 6. Changed to freelance or occasional work - this means changed from permanent work, either full-time or part-time to occasional freelance or contract work. Started/returned to paid employment 9. Started paid work after period when study was my full-time occupation – includes first ever job after leaving school. Also includes starting paid-work after a period of full-time study so long as no other kind of paid work had been undertaken during that period of study. 12. Started paid work after period of unpaid community/voluntary work – this means unpaid voluntary work (although they may receive expenses) 13. Started paid work after other period not in paid work (e.g. unemployed, retired,) – Include if returning to paid work after period of sickness or imprisonment. Left paid work 14. Became redundant/ unemployed – this includes voluntary as well as compulsory redundancy as well as being dismissed/sacked 15. Chose to stop working or to do unpaid work (e.g. voluntary/community work, caring). – Include chose to stop work to do any kind of unpaid work in family business and unpaid career break. 16. Retired from main job – even if returned to same/other job at a later point e.g. took early retirement and then took a job as a gardener.

M325_1a

Please note that the coding list at this question starts at 3. Use the same show card as at question M325_1M, but bear in mind that the first two categories on the prompt card are not relevant for this question. This question is only asked of those, who selected 2 or more responses and stated that they had changed job/role at the previous question.


3

M325_2M

This question is asked of those who changed job/role (codes 3 to 7) or had left paid work (codes 14 to 18) at question M325_1. Code all that apply. Code 25. Reached retirement age for my job – include jobs where retirement age is earlier than 60 or 65 such as the fire service, armed forces or police. Code 26 – Was offered the opportunity to take early retirement – include where retirement age is 60 or 65 but respondent offered opportunity to retire earlier than the usual retirement age for that job.

M325_3M

This question is asked of those who changed job/role (codes 3 to 7) at question M325_1. Code al that apply Code 13: moved to new location – include if moved to different building or town etc but not if moved desks within the same office. Also include if moved from office based job to non-office based job e.g. ONS interviewer, or vice versa.

M325_5M Asked to those who stated to have changed job/role at question M325_1.

M325_6 Asked to those who changed job/role or started/returned to paid work or left paid work at question M325_1 and selected more than one response at question M325_5M.

M325_9M The question text changes of this question changes depending on the status of the respondent (e.g. whether retired, inactive, unemployed). Code all that apply. Codes 1-8: By ‘industry’ we mean the type of products/services your employer offers/ed. ‘Industry’ does not refer to the harmonised definition, as used in coding industry (SIC92). Industry in this context refers to following categories:

1. Fire service, armed forces, police etc. 2. Agriculture 3. Manufacturing 4. Construction 5. Wholesale/Retailing 6. Hotels/Catering 7. Transport 8. Financial services 9. Business services 10. Public administration 11. Education 12. Health/Social work 13. Other services

Codes 1-8: By 'new industry' and 'same industry as before' – we are referring to an industry (as defined above) different to/the same as the industry that they either currently work in/worked in most recently or before retirement, as appropriate. Therefore, for respondents who are doing voluntary work or economically inactive


4

now, it means the industry that they worked in most recently or before retirement. If they have never done any paid work then it will be a new industry. For example, if they are currently doing voluntary work and are retired from paid work, then they can answer code 9 and any of codes 1-8.

M325_10 This question is only asked to those aged 50-70. If necessary reassure the respondent that any information given will be in strictest confidence and that no one will be identified outside the survey, as the data will be used for statistical research purposes only.

M312 Module 312: Living Apart Together This module is also being asked on behalf of the Population and Demography Division at the Office for National Statistics. The researchers in this division are interested in the changing social pattern of relationships and the resulting households needs relating to people who are in a relationship but choose to live apart. The module is basically divided into 3 sections: 1. the first section asked about current relationships, 2. the second section asked about all previous NON-MARRIED relationships which did not lead to

marriage, and 3. the third section asks about the respondent’s very first relationship. What is a relationship? Whether or not a liaison should be considered as a relationship should be left to the respondent, however a relationship should have lasted for at least 3 months. The module is being asked on those aged 16 to 59 only.

M312_1 Asked of respondents who are not married or living with someone in the household i.e.

those who said at MARSTAT that they are single, widowed, divorced or separated. There is a possibility that someone who is cohabiting in a same sex relationship did not spontaneously state that at MARSTAT. In which case they can code 3 at M312_3.

Asks if they have a ‘regular’ partner. Regular signifies a definite relationship which is currently being maintained and has been over the recent past – at least 3 months. If someone has more than one ‘regular’ partner then they should refer to the person they see most often.

M312_2a Asks how long they have been in this relationship. Answer should be given in years (at M312_2b M312_2a) and months e.g. 2 years and 4 months (at M312_2b). M312_3 Asks if they have always lived at different addresses during the relationship or if they have

had times in the past when they have lived at the same address (that is both partners considered the same address as their main residence).

A couple would be thought of as ‘living together’ if both partners considered the same address as their main place of residence. If any doubt they should consider where they spent the majority if their time. Were they mostly living at the same address or were they mostly living apart?

M312_4 Asks if the respondent’s partner is the same sex as the respondent or the opposite sex. M312_5/ Asks married or cohabiting respondents how long they have beenmarried or how long M312_6 they have been in the cohabiting relationship. We mean the duration of the relationship, from when it first started, and not just the period of time they have been living together.

M312_7 Asks everyone aged 16-59 how many NON-MARRIED SEXUAL relationships they have

had in the past – that is before their current relationship. Not counting any periods of living together before marriage so we are talking about relationships that did not lead to


2

marriage. If someone has had a relationship with the same person more than once then the same definition of regular applies in that it must have lasted for at least 3 months.

M312_8/ The majority of the time people will have had opposite sex relationships so M312_8 asks M312_9 whether the past non-married relationship(s) were all with someone of the opposite sex. If the respondent answers ‘no’ they will be asked how many of the past non-married sexual relationships were with someone of the same sex.

M312_10/ Establish whether respondents lived together in any of these M312_11 relationships or whether they lived apart in any of these relationships.

Respondents are asked whether they lived at different addresses for all of the relationship.

We are looking for a definite period of living-apart-together for the whole period of the

relationship, rather than a relatively brief period (up to 3 months) of having different addresses at say the start of the relationship. So if they met and after 3 months moved in together then this would NOT be living-apart-together for the duration of the relationship.

M312_12 If the respondent has had one or more past non-married sexual relationships they are

asked to think about their very first non-married sexual relationship. How long did it last (years and months), how old they were when it first started and whether they lived together or apart or

Estimates are acceptable for duration of relationships. The module is offered for self-completion.

Before you hand the laptop to the respondent please press F2 to save the data you have already entered.

Why is this module self-completion via the laptop? Self-completion via the laptop is a way of getting reliable data from respondents when modules cover sensitive topics. Because no-one else can see the answers the respondent gives they can often admit to things that they would not want to say out loud with someone else in the room during the interview, particularly with regard to previous relationships when this module also asks about same sex relationships. Introducing the module There is an introduction to the module on the screen which assumes that the respondent will be happy to complete the module straight onto the laptop - add more to this as you feel necessary in order to reassure the respondent. In most cases offering self-completion on the laptop will be quite straightforward as people are accustomed to using laptops/PCs at work or at home, as well as computerised toys. Where it is obvious that it would not be suitable for the respondent to use the laptop e.g. very bad eyesight, physical problems with their hands, or you suspect they cannot read, you can still read out the introduction and add “or I can carry on asking the questions”.

Self-completion via the laptop We have talked to interviewers about how they handle this module and they suggest that you try and sit beside or near respondents, so that they can ask your help without it being conspicuous. Your sitting near them also helps to stop anyone else seeing their answers - it can make it easier for you and them. Once the respondent has agreed to do self-completion via the laptop, hand the laptop to them and they will then go through the module themselves, entering their answers straight into it. Make sure that you have stuck your yellow and blue dots onto the ENTER and ‘0’ (zero) keys, respectively. These dots are sent with the Field materials attached to your contents list and should be stuck on BEFORE you go into the field. You should work through the first two questions with respondents to make sure that they understand how to complete the module. They will then be given instructions on how to proceed on the screen as they go through the module (e.g. “Enter your answer and then press ENTER to continue”). Asking the questions The only situations when it might be more appropriate for you to ask the questions are:

◊ Respondent unable to use the keyboard ◊ Respondent unable to read ◊ Respondent has sight problems ◊ Respondent is distressed at the thought of using the laptop

To ensure the consistency of the module when it is asked by an interviewer, the more personal questions and those with long coding frames have been put on cards. If you are going to ask the questions it is important that you and the respondent feel comfortable with them. This can be achieved by reading the questions and answer categories out loud (if possible tape yourself doing this) before going into the field. This practice session will make you used to hearing yourself saying the questions and make you feel more at ease in the interview situation. If the respondent has not used the laptop for self completion they will be asked why not at the end of the questionnaire. Please enter full notes. We want to find out what problems can arise and why some respondents are not willing to answer this way.

Tip to ease the module in difficult situations • When you are unable to see respondents on their own, e.g. a 16 year old with

parents present, try to sit beside or near to the respondent so that the laptop screen can only be seen by you and him/her.
