Methodology
Every year we ask over 3,000 people what it's like to live in Britain and how they think Britain is run.
New questions are added each year to reflect current issues, but all questions are designed with a view to repeating them periodically to chart changes over time.
The people selected to participate in the survey are chosen using a technique called random probability sampling. This technique ensures that everyone has a fair chance of being picked to take part and the results are representative of the British population. Once selected, participants are interviewed in their homes by one of NatCen’s interviewers.
Data from the study can be downloaded or analysed via the UK Data Archive
