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> Working conditions (Module 346b): this module was asked on behalf of researchers at the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and questions asked relate to assessing the way people work and their levels of job-related stress.<br> Disability monitoring (Module 363): this module was asked on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) which is interested in information on disability and includes two questions that ask about awareness of the Disability Discrimination Act. The module aims to identify the scale of problems those with long-term illnesses or disabilities have accessing goods, facilities and services. This version of the data does not contain variables M363_3M, M363_6AM, M363_6bM, M363_7M, M363_26, M363_27, M363_28, and M363_29.<br> Legal services (Module MBT): this module was asked on behalf of the Ministry of Justice. It is designed to find out about people’s use of legal services for personal matters only.<br> Public acceptability of data linking (Module MCC): this module was asked on behalf of the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It is designed to establish what people think about sharing or pooling population information across government departments.<br> Work-related ill health (Module MCD): this module was asked on behalf of HSE and covers questions relating to work-related illness.<br> Later life (Module MCE): this module was asked on behalf of DWP 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> Later life (Module MCEb): this longer module, again asked on behalf of DWP, follows on from Module MCE and was asked on behalf of a number of government departments who want to know what people think of the support available to help older people to continue to live independently in later life.<br>
