Danish Omnibus Survey, January 1988

The themes of this omnibus are: #Family and parental role of fathers as well as attitudes to this; problems as regards child-minding and the parents' jobs as well as aspects concerning parenthood (the questions were also put to a number of Swedish men). # The Danish National Institute of Social Research and Danmarks Statistik have carried out the so-called omnibus surveys regularly from January 1974 till the end of 1991 (from 1993 the Danish National Institute of Social Research has carried out its own omnibus surveys). The omnibus project was established as the Danish National Institute of Social Research, Danmarks Statistik, a number of other government institutions and researchers often experienced a need for examining major or minor problems without initiating independent surveys. The purpose of these surveys is to collect data on a variety of issues in the same interview. This means that the background information may be used in several surveys, thus reducing the costs of the data collection. The omnibus surveys are carried out each year at regular intervals. # A permanent part of the questionnaire in an omnibus survey is the so-called background questions, i.e. a number of questions which map out the respondent's personal and social situation. These background variables are described in the section 'Variables included'. # In addition to the background questions the questionnaire includes questions from external users - questions which form part of the Danish National Institute of Social Research's or Danmarks Statistik's part of the omnibus in question. These questions may deal with a variety of subjects. In principle all types of questions may be included in an omnibus, even if the questions deal with many different subjects, as the editors link the various series of questions. In this way abrupt and strange breaks are avoided, breaks which might distrub the interviewing. Technically it is also possible to ask a number of questions only to specific sub-groups of the sample, e.g. to women in a certain age group. # The data material filed at the DDA comprises the background questions asked jointly by the Danish National Institute and Danmarks Statistik as well as the questions asked by the Danish National Institute of Social Research

本综合调查（omnibus）的主题包括：
#父亲的家庭角色与父母职责，以及对此的态度；育儿相关问题、父母工作问题，以及为人父母的各方面议题（部分问题亦面向若干瑞典男性提出）。
#丹麦社会研究所（Danish National Institute of Social Research）与丹麦统计局（Danmarks Statistik）自1974年1月起至1991年底定期开展所谓的综合调查（omnibus surveys）（1993年起，丹麦社会研究所独立开展其综合调查）。设立该综合调查项目的原因在于，丹麦社会研究所、丹麦统计局、若干其他政府机构及研究人员常需在不启动独立调查的情况下研究各类大小问题。此类调查的目的是在同一场访谈中收集多个议题的数据，这意味着背景信息可用于多项调查，从而降低数据收集成本。综合调查每年定期进行。
#综合调查问卷的固定部分为所谓的背景问题（background questions），即一系列用于勾勒受访者个人及社会状况的问题。这些背景变量在“包含的变量”（Variables included）部分有详细描述。
#除背景问题外，问卷还包含来自外部用户的问题——这些问题属于丹麦社会研究所或丹麦统计局在相关综合调查中负责的部分。此类问题可涉及多种主题。原则上，所有类型的问题均可纳入综合调查，即便涉及多个不同主题，因为编辑会将各系列问题关联起来，从而避免可能干扰访谈的突兀或奇怪的转折。从技术层面而言，也可仅向样本中的特定子群体提出若干问题，例如某一年龄组的女性。
#存放在丹麦数据档案（DDA）中的数据资料包含丹麦社会研究所与丹麦统计局联合提出的背景问题，以及丹麦社会研究所单独提出的问题。
