Scotland's People: results from the 2001/2002 Scottish Household Survey
Volume 8: Technical Report
Appendix 2. Questionnaire for the 2001/2002 SHS
The following pages contain an edited version of the questionnaire for the 2001/2002 SHS, derived from the CAPI script for the survey. In some cases the question number is the same as the relevant variable in the data. However, where there are multiple parts to a question or the question is asked about a number of people, the extra variable names for the question are shown in brackets at the end of the question. For example, HA3 asks for the relationship of each household member to the Highest Income Householder so the relevant variable names are HA3-1 through to HA3-10, with the extension indicating the household member the variable relates to (persons 1 to 10). Where the extra variables relate to a question where a multiple response is allowed, letters rather than numbers are used in the variable names to signify the difference from questions relating to different household members. For example variables relating to RB3 (neighbourhood dislikes) are called RB3A to RB3R, with each one relating to a different possible dislike about the neighbourhood.
One section of the questionnaire is not included in its entirety - namely the 'travel diary', which deals with respondents' travel patterns in the previous 24 hours. The travel diary is a highly complicated set of questions containing multiple 'loops' and complex routing, which is difficult to reproduce on paper in a form which would be easily comprehensible. For this reason, only the section of the diary relating to one single stage journey is included here. There are also questions catering for multi-stage journeys and journeys which involve a series of calls. A full set of the questions in the travel diary is available from the SHS Project Manager on request.
In the questionnaire that follows, changes to the questionnaire between 2000 and 2001 are indicated by bold text highlighting which variables have changed. Changes between 2001 and 2002 are highlighted by italicising the question text. The question number is also highlighted. The routing given in this script is a much simplified version of the very complex CAPI programming used for the survey. Users of the data are advised to consult the full CAPI script for the detail of the more complex routing in circumstances where the basic script given here does not fully explain the routing involved.
