| Annotation | This is a continuous, multi-purpose survey based on a sample of the general population resident in private households in Great Britain. The 1998 General Household Survey (GHS) is a relaunch of survey following a suspension of fieldwork during 1997/98 and 1999/2000 whilst a review was conducted. (There will be no report for these years). This Survey is redesigned to include two elements: Continuous Survey and Trailers. Further information about the General Household Survey (GHS) series can be found in the open entry under its title "Living in Britain". This edition of the GHS is based on interviews with 15,853 people aged 16 and over. It covers topics such as household composition, family trends, expenditure on consumer durables, pensions, general health care, as well as separate chapters on smoking, alcohol and contraception. One of the planned Trailers for 2000/1 is on informal carers. (KJ). |
