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). See <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000043">Opinions and Lifestyle Survey: Secure Access</a> for details.Main Topics: Each month's questionnaire consists of two elements: core questions, covering demographic information, are asked each month together with non-core questions that vary from month to month.The non-core questions for this month were: Televisions (Module 177): this module was asked on behalf of the Department of National Heritage, to ascertain how many households have a television that did not work at the time and did not have another TV set that did work, and whether they intended to get the broken television set repaired in the next seven days after the interview took place. Test of census questions (Module 181): this module was asked on behalf of the Census Division of ONS and contained a self-completion form. Only respondents who were working at the time or had ever previously worked were asked to complete it. The purpose of this module was to test how well people are able to complete the proposed Census questions about occupation. Expectation of house price changes (Module 137): this module asks respondents' views on changes to house prices in the next year and next five years. Sun exposure (Module 178): this module was asked on behalf of the Department of Health and queried respondents' behaviour and opinions towards exposure to the sun. Fire safety (Module 33): this module covers fire safety and is asked in connection with Fire Safety Week. Questions assess awareness of fire risks and fire safety measures the respondent has taken. Marriage and Cohabitation (Module 179): this module was asked on behalf of the Lord Chancellor's Department and Oxford University, and queried respondents' opinions of various aspects of relationships. The module was asked only of respondents who were married for the first time and have children aged under 16, or were cohabiting and had never been married. Drinking (Module 180): this module was asked on behalf of the Health Education Authority (HEA) in England only. The module was updated for 1997 and contains new and different questions to those asked in 1996 and early 1997 (Module 113). The questions are asked of all adults aged 16 and over. Topics covered included alcohol consumption, drinking behaviour and intoxication.
