Search for survey questions

Article dated: 8 November 2010

Survey Question Bank (SQB) has a new search tool that allows users to search across a subset of key, recent UK social surveys held in the ESDS Data Catalogue. SQB logo

In the week that SQB celebrates its second birthday, the service has unveiled this search tool that is the first of its kind in the UK to cover such a wide range of survey series - 50 - and individual questions - more than 200,000.

Users can link questions to: the survey response (frequency counts), the question as it appears in its native questionnaire, and the full survey dataset available via the ESDS.
