Notes - figures in brackets denote first character in second half of postcode

  • During the course of fieldwork it became apparent that in some cases the postcode sectors in which road accidents occurred were not synonymous with residential areas. In view of this sampling routes were widened to allow interviewers to move into alternative sectors that were residential and contained families with the target groups
  • The response rates generally were a little better from the parents of 7-13 year olds than the 14-18 year olds
  • In the conduct of the fieldwork overall it was noted that of those addresses called upon who did not participate the profile was:
  • Refused to participate - 15%
  • No children in target groups - 43%
  • No response - 42%
  • Of the 2,400 interviews achieved:
  • 1,356 were conducted with parents of 7-13 year olds
  • 1,307 were conducted with parents of 14-18 year olds
  • 263 were conducted with parents who had both age groups in their family
  • 262 were conducted with parents of BME children
  • In the case of families with more than one child in the target age groups random selection (for response purposes) was based on the application of the 'first birthday' rule.
