Description:
This one-day event will be led by experts from the National Survey for Wales and is aimed to provide social science researchers, policy practitioners and others with knowledge and understanding of the National Survey for Wales, and the confidence to use it. The emphasis will be on the practical value of the survey data for investigating social issues in Wales and technical advice on methods of analysis.
The first part of the day will provide background and an overview of the design and methodology of the survey, instruction on how to access the data, and a discussion of some of the key findings to date. The afternoon will be a hands-on computer-based session presenting the data set, giving instruction in some basic analysis using the National Survey data (e.g. issues with comparison over time), and suggestions for further analyses using, for example, weighting, small area estimation, regression etc.
