British Social Attitudes Survey: Emergency Care Module, 2018

<p><strong>Background</strong><br>The British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey series began in 1983. The series is designed to produce annual measures of attitudinal movements to complement large-scale government surveys that deal largely with facts and behaviour patterns, and the data on party political attitudes produced by opinion polls. One of the BSA's main purposes is to allow the monitoring of patterns of continuity and change, and the examination of the relative rates at which attitudes, in respect of a range of social issues, change over time. Some questions are asked regularly, others less often. Funding for BSA comes from a number of sources (including government departments, the Economic and Social Research Council and other research foundations), but the final responsibility for the coverage and wording of the annual questionnaires rests with NatCen Social Research (formerly Social and Community Planning Research). The BSA has been conducted every year since 1983, except in 1988 and 1992 when core funding was devoted to the British Election Study (BES).<br><br>Further information about the series and links to publications may be found on the NatCen Social Research <a title="British Social Attitudes" href="https://natcen.ac.uk/flagship-surveys">British Social Attitudes</a> webpage.</p> <p class="x_MsoBodyText"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>Emergency Care Module<br></span>The <span style="font-style: italic;">British Social Attitudes Survey: Emergency Care Module, 2018</span> was collected as part of a grant-funded project called Drivers of Demand for Emergency and Urgent Care (DEUCE). The project was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and the lead institution was the University of Sheffield. The project as a whole aimed to understand people’s help-seeking behaviour from their perspectives rather than health professionals’ perspectives, and from the perspective of an emergency and urgent care system. The BSA module was designed to identify factors affecting population tendency to use emergency services for minor or non-urgent problems, partly through the use of vignettes asking what actions people would take in relation to minor or non-urgent health problems.</p><p class="x_MsoBodyText"><span></span></p>

**背景**
英国社会态度调查（British Social Attitudes, BSA）系列始于1983年。该系列旨在生成年度性的态度变迁量化测度，以补充那些主要聚焦事实与行为模式的大型政府调查，以及民意调查生成的政党政治态度数据。英国社会态度调查的核心目标之一，是监测社会态度的延续与变迁模式，并考察一系列社会议题上的态度随时间推移的相对变化速率。部分调查问题会被定期设问，其余问题的设问频率则相对较低。
英国社会态度调查的资金来源涵盖多个渠道，包括政府部门、经济与社会研究委员会（Economic and Social Research Council）及其他研究基金会，但年度调查问卷的覆盖范围与措辞的最终权责由国家社会研究中心（NatCen Social Research，前身为社会与社区规划研究中心）承担。自1983年起，该调查每年开展一次，仅1988年与1992年除外——这两年的核心资金被划拨至英国选举研究（British Election Study, BES）项目。

**急救模块**
2018年版《英国社会态度调查：急救模块》的数据采集，隶属于名为“急诊与加急护理需求驱动因素（Drivers of Demand for Emergency and Urgent Care, DEUCE）”的资助项目。该项目由英国国家卫生与保健研究学院（National Institute for Health Research, NIHR）资助，牵头机构为谢菲尔德大学。整个项目旨在从民众自身而非医疗专业人士的视角，结合急诊与加急护理系统的视角，理解民众的就医求助行为。本次调查模块旨在识别影响民众因轻微或非急症问题使用急诊服务的倾向的各类因素，其中部分识别工作通过设置情境测试题（vignette）完成，要求受访者说明针对轻微或非急症健康问题会采取何种应对措施。
