Main Topics: Variables (I) Awareness and attitudes to aircraft noise Open-ended questions looking for spontaneous mention of aircraft noise; length of residence, accomodation and satisfaction with it; attitudes to and awareness of noise especially aircraft and road traffic noise (questions developed by McKennell (1963) to form a Guttman scale were used); fear of aircraft; sensitivity to noise. (II) Assessment of health status Respondents were asked to rate their health over the last two weeks, and to indicate, from a list of symptoms, which they had experienced in this period. A series of questions taken from the General Household survey (1976) covered long-standing illness, health visits, medicines taken, and use made of health and welfare services. (III) Background information Age, sex, occupation, household composition, terminal education age, country of birth. Employment background: where worked, whether at Heathrow, or for a company connected with the airport, job satisfaction, whether bothered by noise at work. Ownership of household items, including double glazing. April 1977 - November 197701 April 197701 November 1977 England IndividualsSubnationalAdultsNoise Adults aged 16 and over living in private households in two geographical bands of noise exposure in the West of London Partil replication of questions used by McKennel (SN:1291) and MIL Research Ltd. (SN:1539); questions on health replicate those used in the General Household survey (SN:33090) The area was divided into noise bands on the basis of information supplied by the Civil Aviation Authority: an inner, high noise band, and outer low noise band. The population of the inner band was only 10% of the population of the total area, so all polling districts were used. In the outer band the wards were clustered socio-economically and geographically before the selection of polling districts to form primary sampling units. Respondents were selected from adults of 16 and over living at addresses selected from the electoral register. Steps were taken to ensure respresentation of addresses not on the electoral register by use of the Kish half open interval method Face-to-face interview The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.Commercial use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
