ONS Opinions Survey, Drinking Module, April 2008 and April and May 2009

<p>The <em>Opinions and Lifestyle Survey</em> (OPN) is an omnibus survey that collects data from respondents in Great Britain. Information is gathered on a range of subjects, commissioned both internally by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and by external clients (other government departments, charities, non-profit organisations and academia).</p><p>One individual respondent, aged 16 or over, is selected from each sampled private household to answer questions. Data are gathered on the respondent, their family, address, household, income and education, plus responses and opinions on a variety of subjects within commissioned modules. Each regular OPN survey consists of two elements. Core questions, covering demographic information, are asked together with non-core questions that vary depending on the module(s) fielded.</p><p>The OPN collects timely data for research and policy analysis evaluation on the social impacts of recent topics of national importance, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the cost of living. The OPN has expanded to include questions on other topics of national importance, such as health and the cost of living.</p><p>For more information about the survey and its methodology, see the gov.uk <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandlifeexpectancies/methodologies/opinionsandlifestylesurveyqmi">OPN Quality and Methodology Information</a> (QMI) webpage.</p><p><strong>Changes over time</strong></p><p>Up to March 2018, the OPN was conducted as a face-to-face survey. From April 2018 to November 2019, the OPN changed to a mixed-mode design (online first with telephone interviewing where necessary). Mixed-mode collection allows respondents to complete the survey more flexibly and provides a more cost-effective service for module customers.</p><p>In March 2020, the OPN was adapted to become a weekly survey used to collect data on the social impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the lives of people of Great Britain. These data are held under Secure Access conditions in SN 8635, <em>ONS Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, 2019-2023: Secure Access</em>. (See below for information on other Secure Access OPN modules.)</p><p>From August 2021, as coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions were lifted across Great Britain, the OPN moved to fortnightly data collection, sampling around 5,000 households in each survey wave to ensure the survey remained sustainable.</p><p>

</p><p><strong>Secure Access OPN modules</strong><br><br>Besides SN 8635 (which includes the COVID-19 Module), other Secure Access OPN data includes sensitive modules run at various points from 1997-2019, including Census religion (SN 8078), cervical cancer screening (SN 8080), contact after separation (SN 8089), contraception (SN 8095), disability (SNs 8680 and 8096), general lifestyle (SN 8092), illness and activity (SN 8094), and non-resident parental contact (SN 8093).

**意见与生活方式调查（Opinions and Lifestyle Survey，以下简称OPN）**是一项面向英国大不列颠地区受访者开展的综合调查。调查内容覆盖多个主题，委托方既包括英国国家统计局（Office for National Statistics, ONS）内部，也包括外部客户（其他政府部门、慈善机构、非营利组织及学术界）。

本次调查从每个抽样私人家庭中选取1名16岁及以上的受访者作答，收集受访者本人、家庭、住址、住户、收入与教育相关信息，以及委托模块中各类主题的回答与观点。每一期常规OPN调查包含两部分内容：覆盖人口统计信息的核心问题，以及随所部署的调查模块而异的非核心问题。

OPN可及时收集相关数据，用于研究与政策分析评估英国近期国家重要议题的社会影响，例如新冠（COVID-19）疫情与生活成本危机。目前OPN已拓展纳入其他国家重要议题的相关问题，例如健康与生活成本相关内容。

如需了解该调查及其方法论的更多信息，请访问英国政府官网（gov.uk）上的《OPN质量与方法论信息（Quality and Methodology Information, QMI）》网页，链接为：https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandlifeexpectancies/methodologies/opinionsandlifestylesurveyqmi。

**调查演进历程**

2018年3月之前，OPN采用面对面调查形式。2018年4月至2019年11月，OPN调整为混合模式调查设计（优先线上调查，必要时辅以电话访问）。混合模式采集方式可让受访者更灵活地完成调查，同时为模块委托方提供了更具成本效益的服务。

2020年3月，OPN调整为周度调查，用于收集新冠（COVID-19）疫情对英国大不列颠地区民众生活造成的社会影响相关数据。此类数据以安全访问（Secure Access）模式存储于编号为SN 8635的数据集**《2019-2023年英国国家统计局意见与生活方式调查：安全访问版》（ONS Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, 2019-2023: Secure Access）**中。（其他安全访问版OPN模块的相关信息详见下文。）

2021年8月起，随着英国大不列颠地区新冠（COVID-19）防控限制逐步解除，OPN转为每两周开展一次数据采集，每期调查约抽样5000户住户，以保障调查的可持续性。

**安全访问版OPN调查模块**

除编号为SN 8635（包含新冠疫情模块）的数据集外，其他安全访问版OPN数据还涵盖1997年至2019年期间不同时段运行的敏感调查模块，包括：人口普查宗教信仰模块（SN 8078）、宫颈癌筛查模块（SN 8080）、分居后联系模块（SN 8089）、避孕相关模块（SN 8095）、残疾相关模块（SN 8680与SN 8096）、一般生活方式模块（SN 8092）、疾病与活动情况模块（SN 8094）以及非居住父母联系模块（SN 8093）。如需了解更多细节及申请使用方式，请查阅各独立研究项目的相关说明。
