The new survey series, which began in Autumn 2021, uses Address Based Online Surveying (ABOS), a cost-effective method of surveying the general population using random sampling techniques.  ABOS is a 'push to web' methodology where the primary method of data collection is online, but respondents are also able to complete a paper version of the questionnaire which enables participation among the offline population.The PAT is run four times a year.  Questions on issues where attitudes are likely to shift quickly are repeated quarterly; other questions are asked annually with a few topics asked bi-annually.Data are collected from a representative sample of the UK population so that results fairly represent the views of the wider population.The main objectives of the new PAT series are:<ul><li>to provide BEIS with attitudinal data on their priorities</li><li>to understand how BEIS policies affect customers</li><li>to provide robust evidence for early policy development</li><li>to monitor changes in public attitudes and awareness over time</li><li>to establish a robust methodology for tracking change, which is future-proofed, ensuring comparable data collection over time</li></ul>Further information, including topic reports, may be found on the GOV.UK <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/public-attitudes-tracking-survey" target="_blank">BEIS Public Attitudes Tracker</a> webpage.Latest edition informationFor the second edition (July 2023), data and documentation for Wave 4, covering Summer 2022,  were added to the study.Main Topics: Specific topics covered vary from quarter to quarter, but general topics covered include:<ul><li>artificial intelligence</li><li>net zero and climate change</li><li>energy infrastructure and energy sources </li><li>heat and energy in the home</li><li>energy bills and tariffs</li><li>consumer issues</li><li>workers' rights</li><li>demographics </li></ul> Autumn 2021 - Summer 202214 September 202131 August 2022 United Kingdom IndividualsNational Adults aged 16 and over residing in the UK in 2021-22.
