项目摘要

Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study is the largest household panel study in the world, designed to address key scientific and policy questions of the 21st century. It collects high quality annual longitudinal data on individuals of all ages in households representative of the UK population. Such data enable researchers to explore the experiences, causes and consequences of changes in people's lives - their family structure, health, income, expenditure, employment and housing. The Study has additional samples for the detailed exploration of the circumstances of key immigrant and ethnic minority groups; and collects data on cognition, objective measures of health and genetics to understand how people's health and wider circumstances interact. Increasingly we have been able to secure linkage to contextual information for places and organisations, and with consent, to individual level data including administrative records, social media and commercial information. Additionally, the Study experiments with innovative ways of collecting data to continually improve the content and quality of data available. Finally, we invest in supporting researchers and working with policy makers to ensure the research based on these data is used to inform policy and practice. The Study began in 2008 with the Innovation Panel (IP), which tests methods, and the first main wave of fieldwork started in 2009. It builds on and incorporates the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which means for some families we have annual information from 1991. To date, seven waves of the main Study and nine waves of the IP, as well as data collected from a nurse visit, are deposited in the UK Data Service. Data collection and planning are ongoing for Waves 9-11 and IP11-12; IP10 and Wave 8 data will be released in 2018. This bid covers the costs of data collection for Wave 12 of the main Study and IP13 and 14, and associated activities. In Wave 12 we will continue to push web-first data collection within our mixed mode framework to reduce costs while maintaining response rates and data quality. We are funding Methodological Fellowships to support this. Additionally, in IP13 and 14 we will experiment with other ways of collecting and harvesting data - for example between-wave surveys, apps, scanning till receipts - to expand the research opportunities available. We are also reaching out to other potential respondents: those whom we lost in BHPS where we can find them, and the partners of people in the Study who do not live in the same households. Finally, we will be trying to understand why people who emigrant do so by interviewing such groups as they leave the Study, and also we will interview family members when a respondent moves into a care home. Policy and research agendas are constantly evolving, and it is important in a longitudinal study to balance creating long series of the same data with including new questions that address emerging topics. For Wave 12 we are reviewing whether our survey adequately captures the way in which technology impacts on different aspects of our lives. We have appointed a number of experts - Topic Champions - to improve the content of the survey and the way we present the data to users. We also aim to focus on developing our content in childhood, which is limited at present. Supporting researchers in universities, government, third sector and businesses to use the data effectively is fundamental to the success of the Study. We have a Policy Unit that directly works with government departments and third sector organisations to help them use Understanding Society data, and we undertake a wide range of activities to promote findings based on the Study to policy users. We are planning a range of international events to promote effective comparative research, especially in relation to policy analysis using the Study. We are also funding Policy Fellowships to promote the policy impact of the Study.

了解社会：英国家庭纵向研究是世界上最大的家庭追踪研究，旨在解决 21 世纪的关键科学和政策问题。它收集代表英国人口的家庭中所有年龄段个人的高质量年度纵向数据。这些数据使研究人员能够探索人们生活变化的经历、原因和后果——家庭结构、健康、收入、支出、就业和住房。该研究还提供了额外的样本，用于详细探索重点移民和少数族裔群体的情况；并收集有关认知、健康和遗传学客观测量的数据，以了解人们的健康和更广泛的环境如何相互作用。我们越来越能够确保与地点和组织的背景信息的链接，并在同意的情况下与个人级别的数据（包括行政记录、社交媒体和商业信息）建立联系。此外，该研究还尝试了收集数据的创新方法，以不断改进可用数据的内容和质量。最后，我们投资支持研究人员并与政策制定者合作，以确保基于这些数据的研究用于为政策和实践提供信息。该研究始于 2008 年，由创新小组 (IP) 开始测试方法，第一波主要实地调查于 2009 年开始。它建立在英国家庭小组调查 (BHPS) 的基础上，并纳入其中，这意味着对于一些家庭，我们每年都会进行1991 年以来的信息。迄今为止，七波主要研究和九波 IP 以及从护士访问中收集的数据均存储在英国数据服务中。第 9-11 波和 IP11-12 的数据收集和规划正在进行中； IP10 和第 8 波数据将于 2018 年发布。本次投标涵盖了主要研究第 12 波以及 IP13 和 14 以及相关活动的数据收集费用。在第 12 波中，我们将继续在混合模式框架内推动网络优先的数据收集，以降低成本，同时保持响应率和数据质量。我们正在资助方法论奖学金来支持这一点。此外，在 IP13 和 14 中，我们将尝试其他收集和收获数据的方式 - 例如波间调查、应用程序、扫描收据 - 以扩大可用的研究机会。我们还在联系其他潜在的受访者：我们可以找到那些在 BHPS 中失去的人，以及研究中那些不住在同一家庭的人的伴侣。最后，我们将通过在离开研究时采访这些群体来试图理解为什么移民会这样做，并且当受访者搬进疗养院时我们也会采访其家庭成员。政策和研究议程在不断发展，在纵向研究中，平衡创建长系列相同数据与解决新兴主题的新问题非常重要。对于第 12 波浪潮，我们正在审查我们的调查是否充分反映了技术对我们生活不同方面的影响方式。我们任命了一些专家（主题冠军）来改进调查的内容以及我们向用户呈现数据的方式。我们还致力于开发儿童时期的内容，但目前这方面的内容还很有限。支持大学、政府、第三部门和企业的研究人员有效使用数据是该研究成功的基础。我们设有一个政策部门，直接与政府部门和第三部门组织合作，帮助他们使用“了解社会”数据，并且我们开展了广泛的活动，向政策使用者推广基于该研究的发现。我们正在计划举办一系列国际活动，以促进有效的比较研究，特别是使用该研究进行政策分析。我们还资助政策奖学金，以促进该研究的政策影响。
