UK Survey Question Bank - Thematic Commentaries 1999-2012

The Survey Question Bank (SQB) provided access to questionnaires from a range of major UK and cross-national social surveys. A search of the questionnaires displayed questions in their original context helping with questionnaire design and methods research and teaching. The SQB also wrote and commissioned a series of methods fact sheets and topic overviews - vital to making sense of the questions and the data created from them. These commentaries were authored by experts in their field and were designed to get users started in a particular area and to lead to further reading.
