Public engagement research for the SPF UK Population Laboratory.

该项目是一系列项目的一部分，最终旨在为英国社会和经济研究人员提供更好地接触和了解英国人口的机会。目前，人口调查(包括“一次性调查”和“重复调查”)要求制定一个“人口抽样框架”--所有有资格接受调查的人或家庭的名单。然后以各种方式对这份名单进行抽样，并通过访谈招募抽样的成员或家庭。这种方法效率不高，而且由于清单的编制、抽样和参与调查的程度的不同，可能会产生重大的和未知的偏差。一个更好的方法是拥有一份最新的英国人口名单，其中包括每个人和/或家庭的一些相关信息(例如，年龄、性别、姓名、地址等)。在名单上。然后，调查将通过从列表中抽样进行(称为“行政数据脊椎”)。然后，可以将选择参与调查的人的特征与没有参与调查的人的特征进行比较，以便根据已知的偏见进行调整。可以从政府部门、英国统计局和英国国民健康保险制度持有的有关英国人口的各种信息来源中构建“行政数据脊椎”。构建这份清单的关键将是公众和数据控制员在多大程度上信任研究界制定这样一份清单。目前，我们对民众对这一事态发展的信任度知之甚少。这项计划将提供这些资料，使该研究中心可在建立行政数据脊椎的工作进展中，制订一套策略性计划，以便与公众和数据控制人员接触。第一阶段将审查现有的和计划的活动，这些活动涉及与大量个人数据的研究使用有关的问题。在第二阶段，这些信息将提供给为协助该项目而成立的咨询小组。第三阶段将由五个对话小组组成，在英国不同的国家召开会议，探讨公众对数据共享和数据链接的看法，以用于研究目的。最后阶段是一项全国性调查，以估计公众在多大程度上接受或拒绝建立行政数据范围的计划。通过这一项目产生的信息将为制定一项关于发展行政数据范围的公众参与的战略计划提供信息。

This project forms part of a series of projects ultimately designed to provide UK social and economic researchers with improved access to and knowledge about the population of the UK. Currently, surveys of the population (both 'one-off' and repeated surveys) require the development of a 'population sampling frame' - a list of all people or households eligible to be surveyed. This list is then sampled in various ways, and sampled members or households are recruited via interviews. This approach is inefficient and can give rise to significant and unknown biases due to the ways in which the list is constructed, sampled and the extent of participation in the survey. A better approach is to have an up-to-date list of the population of the UK, with some relevant information about each person and/or household (e.g. age, sex, name, address, etc.) on the list. Surveys would then be undertaken by sampling from the list (termed an 'administrative data spine'). The characteristics of those who choose to participate in a survey can then be compared with those who do not participate, allowing for adjustments to be made for known biases.The 'administrative data spine' can be constructed from various sources of information about the UK population held by government departments, the UK Statistical Authority and the NHS. Key to its construction will be the extent to which the public and data controllers trust the research community to develop such a list. At present we have little knowledge about the degree of trust that exists within the population with respect to this development. The project will provide such information, enabling the ESRC to formulate a strategic plan for engagement with the public and with data controllers as the work establish an administrative data spine progresses.The project is designed in four stages. The first stage will review existing and planned activities that have addressed issues relating to the research use of large volumes of personal data. In the second stage this information will be fed into an Advisory Group formed to assist with the project. The third stage will consist of five dialogue groups, convened in different countries of the UK to explore public perceptions of data sharing and data linking for research purposes. The final stage will be a national survey to provide estimates of the extent to which the public accepts or rejects plans for the construction of an administrative data spine.The information generated via this project will inform the development of a strategic plan for public engagement on the development of an administrative data spine.
