Public engagement research for the SPF UK Population Laboratory.

该项目是一系列项目的一部分，这些项目最终旨在为英国社会和经济研究人员提供更好的接触和了解英国人口的机会。目前，人口调查（“一次性”和重复调查）需要制定一个“人口抽样框架”-一份有资格接受调查的所有人或家庭的名单。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成员或住户。这种方法效率不高，而且由于清单的编制和抽样方式以及调查的参与程度，可能会产生重大和未知的偏差。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/或每个家庭的相关信息（例如年龄、性别、姓名、地址等）。名单上然后从清单中抽样进行调查（称为“行政数据主干”）。然后，可以将选择参与调查的人的特征与不参与调查的人的特征进行比较，以便对已知的偏见进行调整。“行政数据主干”可以从政府部门、英国统计局和NHS掌握的有关英国人口的各种信息来源构建。其建设的关键将是公众和数据控制者在多大程度上信任研究界制定这样一个列表。目前，我们对民众对这一发展的信任程度知之甚少。该项目将提供这些信息，使ESRC能够制定一个战略计划，与公众和数据控制器的工作建立一个行政数据脊柱的进展。该项目分为四个阶段。第一阶段将审查现有的和计划中的活动，这些活动解决了与研究使用大量个人数据有关的问题。在第二阶段，这些资料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，在英国不同国家召开会议，探讨公众对数据共享和数据链接的看法。最后一个阶段将是一项全国调查，以估计公众接受或拒绝行政数据脊柱建设计划的程度。通过该项目产生的信息将为制定行政数据脊柱开发公众参与战略计划提供信息。

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.
