Description:	<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>The <i>Opinions and Lifestyle Survey</i>, formerly known as <i>ONS Opinions Survey</i> or <i>Omnibus</i>, is a regular, multi-purpose survey which was carried out in eight months of the year from 1990 until April 2005, when it began to run monthly. Following the 'Fit for Future' consultation carried out by ONS at the beginning of 2014, the decision was taken to revert to running the survey in eight months of the year only; therefore from April 2014 the survey does not run in March, June, September or December. The study was originally set up to meet the needs of government departments for a survey that used short and simple sets of questions, had greater statistical reliability than private sector omnibus surveys and a properly designed random sample. Now, however, an increasing number of academics are finding it a valuable research tool.<br /><br /> The <i>Opinions and Lifestyle Survey</i> is used for a number of purposes, for example: <ul><li>to provide quick answers to questions of immediate interest <li>to provide information on topics that do not require a full survey <li>to develop and pilot questions for other surveys <li>to sift for subgroups that can be followed up in another survey</ul> From April 2012 the <i>ONS Opinions Survey</i> changed its name to the <i>Opinions and Lifestyle Survey</i> following the merger of the non-EU-SILC questions from the General Lifestyle Survey. <br /><br /> <b><i>Secure Access Opinions and Lifestyle Survey data</b></i><br /> Some Opinions modules, covering disability, general lifestyle, religion, non-resident parental contact, contact after separation, cervical cancer screening, contraception, illness and activity limitation, are only available under Secure Access conditions. See <a href="https://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=2000043" title="Opinions and Lifestyle Survey: Secure Access">Opinions and Lifestyle Survey: Secure Access</a> for details. <br /><br /> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Each month's questionnaire consists of two elements: core questions, covering demographic information, are asked each month together with non-core questions that vary from month to month. The non-core questions for this month were:<br> Tobacco consumption (Module 210): this module was asked on behalf of HM Revenue and Customs to help estimate the amount of tobacco consumed as cigarettes. Due to the potentially sensitive nature of the data within this module, cases for respondents aged under 18 have been removed.<br> Road Pricing (Module MAE): this module was asked on behalf of the Department for Transport and asks for opinions on road pricing.<br> Disability (Module MCA): this module was asked on behalf of the Office for National Statistics and seeks information regarding health problems which are long-lasting in nature and cause problems with normal daily activities. Variables MCA_1b1M and MCA_2b2M have been recoded into smaller groupings.<br> Later life (Module MCE): this module was asked by the Department for Work and Pensions on behalf of a number of other government departments which are interested in what people think of the support available to help older people to continue to live independently in later life.<br> Health and work (Module MCP): this module was asked by DWP on behalf<br> of the Health, Work and Well-being Delivery Unit. Questions relate to health, well-being and work. This version of the data does not contain variables MCP_14, MCP_15M, MCP_16 and MCP_17 as they are considered disclosive.<br>
