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了解英国人口的途径和知识。目前，人口调查（“一次性”和重复调查）需要制定“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。然后以各种方式对该名单进行抽样，并通过访谈招募抽样的成员或家庭。这种方法效率低下，而且由于列表的构建方式、抽样方式和参与调查的程度，可能会产生重大的未知偏差。一个更好的方法是有一个最新的英国人口名单，上面有关于每个人和/或家庭的一些相关信息（如年龄、性别、姓名、地址等）。然后从清单中抽样进行调查（称为“行政数据脊柱”）。然后，可以将选择参加调查的人的特征与不参加调查的人的特征进行比较，从而允许对已知的偏差进行调整。“行政数据脊柱”可以从政府部门、英国统计局和NHS持有的有关英国人口的各种信息来源中构建。其构建的关键将是公众和数据控制者在多大程度上信任研究界来开发这样一个列表。目前，我们对人民内部对这一发展的信任程度知之甚少。该计划将提供这些资料，使社企研究中心在建立行政数据支柱的过程中，能够制定与公众和数据管理者接触的策略计划。本项目设计分为四个阶段。第一阶段将审查现有的和计划中的活动，这些活动涉及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项目而成立的咨询小组。第三阶段将包括五个对话小组，在英国的不同国家召集，探讨公众对数据共享和数据链接的看法，用于研究目的。最后阶段将进行全国调查，估计国民对建设行政数据中心计划的接受程度和拒绝程度。透过这项计划所收集的资料，将有助制订策略性计划，让公众参与发展行政数据系统。

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.
