Based on annual rounds of interviews of between 1,200 to 1,500 people drawn using probability sampling (based on a stratified, clustered sample), it aims to facilitate the study of public opinion and inform the development of public policy in Scotland, similar to the British Social Attitudes (BSA) series (held at the Archive under GN 33168). The SSA survey has been conducted annually each year since 1999, with the exception of 2008. The survey has a modular structure. In any one year it typically contains three to five modules, each containing 40 questions. Funding for its first two years came from the Economic and Social Research Council, while from 2001 onwards different bodies have funded individual modules each year. These bodies have included the Economic and Social Research Council, the Scottish Government and various charitable and grant awarding bodies, such as the Nuffield Foundation and Leverhulme Trust. Further information on the SSA and links to publications may be found on the ScotCen Social Research <a href="https://natcen.ac.uk/search?series%5B43%5D=43" title="Scottish Social Attitudes" target="_blank">Scottish Social Attitudes</a> webpages. The 2015 survey contained modules of questions on Attitudes to Discrimination, Attitudes to Government, Attitudes to Social Capital and Attitudes to Minimum Unit Pricing (funded by Scottish Government) and on Language Learning (funded jointly by Scottish Government, University of Edinburgh and Scottish Centre for Information on Language Teaching). For the second edition (August 2017), the module on Attitudes to Policing was added to the data. The documentation has been updated accordingly. Main Topics: The 2015 questionnaire mainly covered the following topics: <li>attitudes to the Government, the National Health Service, the economy and standard of living; <li>discrimination; <li>social capital; <li>language learning; <li>demographics.
