Abstract

The National Survey for Wales (NSW) is one of the main ways in which the Welsh Assembly Government knows what issues are important to the people of Wales. The aim of the survey is to help the Welsh Assembly Government to: monitor trends in the concerns and needs of people in Wales assess views and experiences of public services target resources to meet needs The pilot study was completed in 2009-2010. Once the design is finalised, the NSW will run continuously to at least 2014. The main survey will begin in 2012 and this will offer the opportunity for public sector bodies to contribute their own questions to the questionnaires. The NSW has replaced the Living in Wales survey series (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33397). Further information is available on the Welsh Assembly Government NSW web pages.

The aim of the National Survey for Wales, 2009-2010: Pilot Study was to test the survey design, but also to provide valuable information for the Welsh Assembly Government on a range of issues. The pilot survey was based on face-to-face interviews in a randomly chosen sample of households across Wales. In each of these households, the survey covered the head of household and a randomly selected adult (who may also be the head of household). There was also a short self-completion questionnaire for every adult in the household.

Main Topics: The household questionnaire covers: housing tenure housing costs financial inclusion accommodation problems household deprivation children's deprivation internet access pet ownership The individual questionnaire covers: neighbourhood communications disability environmental behaviour computer and internet Welsh Assembly Government street cleaning dental practices volunteering employment finance The self-completion questionnaire covers: health local public services satisfaction with aspects of life local area safety and crime harassment and discrimination A sample file is also included which contains geographical information about all the sampled households (including non-responding households). Standard Measures: The Rosenberg Scale was included in the self-completion questionnaire. Scores on the scale were derived from a series of ten questions which asked respondents to indicate whether they agreed or disagreed with a series of statements regarding their general feelings about themselves.
