It was a continuous annual national survey of people living in private households, conducted by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The main aim of the survey was to collect data on a range of core topics, covering household, family and individual information. This information was used by government departments and other organisations for planning, policy and monitoring purposes, and to present a picture of households, families and people in Great Britain. In 2008, the GHS became a module of the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000024">Integrated Household Survey</a> (IHS). In recognition, the survey was renamed the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=200019">General Lifestyle Survey</a> (GLF). The GLF closed in January 2012. The 2011 GLF is therefore the last in the series. A limited number of questions previously run on the GLF were subsequently included in the <a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=2000043" title="Opinions and Lifestyle Survey">Opinions and Lifestyle Survey</a> (OPN). Secure Access GHS/GLF The UKDS holds standard access End User Licence (EUL) data for 1972-2006. A Secure Access version is available, covering the years 2000-2011 - see SN 6716 General Lifestyle Survey, 2000-2011: Secure Access. History The GHS was conducted annually until 2011, except for breaks in 1997-1998 when the survey was reviewed, and 1999-2000 when the survey was redeveloped.  Further information may be found in the ONS document <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/compendium/generallifestylesurvey/2013-03-07/40yearsofdatacollection/pdf">An overview of 40 years of data (General Lifestyle Survey Overview - a report on the 2011 General Lifestyle Survey)</a> (PDF). Details of changes each year may be found in the individual study documentation. EU-SILC In 2005, the European Union (EU) made a legal obligation (EU-SILC) for member states to collect additional statistics on income and living conditions. In addition, the EU-SILC data cover poverty and social exclusion. These statistics are used to help plan and monitor European social policy by comparing poverty indicators and changes over time across the EU. The EU-SILC requirement was integrated into the GHS/GLF in 2005. After the closure of the GLF, EU-SILC was collected via the <a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=200017" title="Family Resources Survey">Family Resources Survey</a> (FRS) until the UK left the EU in 2020.Reformatted GHS data 1973-1982 - Surrey SPSS Files SPSS files were created by the University of Surrey for all GHS years from 1973 to 1982 inclusive. The early files were restructured and the case changed from the household to the individual with all of the household information duplicated for each individual. The Surrey SPSS files contain all the original variables as well as some extra derived variables (a few variables were omitted from the data files for 1973-76). In 1973 only, the section on leisure was not included in the Surrey SPSS files. This has subsequently been made available, however, and is now held in a separate study, General Household Survey, 1973: Leisure Questions (SN 3982). Records for the original GHS 1973-1982 ASCII files have been removed from the UK Data Archive catalogue, but the data are still preserved and available upon request. For the second edition (November 2007), the depositor supplied revised household and individual files, with some changes to variables included. See study READ file (link below) for full details. January 2010 update New HSERIAL, PID and FSERIAL values have been created using lookup tables of sequential numbers provided by ONS. The newly created variables HSERIAL, PID and FSERIAL have replaced the old variables. This update was made because previously cases for the first quarter did not have the person identifier variable PID, and it was not possible to uniquely identify individuals by combining information on HSERIAL and PERSNO, as duplicates occurred as a result of the changes in survey design (please see 'Further changes to the GHS methodology from 2005' above).Main Topics: The main GHS consisted of a household questionnaire, completed by the Household Reference Person (HRP), and an individual questionnaire, completed by all adults aged 16 and over resident in the household. A number of different trailers each year covering extra topics were included in later (post-review) surveys in the series from 2000.<ul><li>The household questionnaire covered the following topics: household information, accommodation type, housing tenure/costs, and consumer durables including vehicle ownership.</li><li>The individual questionnaire included data from the household dataset, and additional sections on migration/citizenship/national identity/ethnicity, employment, pensions, education, health, child care, smoking, drinking, family information, financial situation, and income. </li></ul>In 2005, a trailer on social mobility was added to the individual questionnaire.
