Personal data include data on the individual, their family, address, household, income and education, plus responses and opinions on a variety of subjects within commissioned modules. The questionnaire 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, on individuals and households in Great Britain. From April 2018 to November 2019, the design of the OPN changed from face-to-face 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 customers. 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 in the Secure Access study, SN 8635, ONS Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, Covid-19 Module, 2020-2022: Secure Access.  From August 2021, as coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions were lifting across Great Britain, the OPN moved to fortnightly data collection, sampling around 5,000 households in each survey wave to ensure the survey remains sustainable. The OPN has since expanded to include questions on other topics of national importance, such as health and the cost of living. For more information about the survey and its methodology, see the ONS <a title="OPN Quality and Methodology Information" href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandlifeexpectancies/methodologies/opinionsandlifestylesurveyqmi">OPN Quality and Methodology Information</a> webpage.Secure Access Opinions and Lifestyle Survey dataOther Secure Access OPN data cover modules run at various points from 1997-2019, on 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).

Intention to stop smoking (Module 298): this module was asked on behalf of ASH, the anti-smoking lobby. They were interested in when smokers think they might stop smoking and whether they have used No Smoking Day to help them quit. The questions about No Smoking Day were also asked of ex-smokers. Internet access (Module 264): this module was asked on behalf of a number of government departments, but primarily the Office for National Statistics and the e-Envoy's Office (part of the Cabinet Office).

Human rights (Module 243): this module was asked on behalf of the Home Office and concerned an individual's rights to liberty in the UK.

Part one looks at attitudes to being a grandparent and number of grandchildren; part two looks at the characteristics of up to four sets of grandchildren, including how often the respondent sees them and the ways in which they help one another. Non-resident parental contact (Module 299): these questions were asked on behalf of the Lord Chancellor's Department and are about children who live with only one of their birth parents.
