10. 2 THE SAMPLE 2 1 BACKGROUND TO SAMPLING Each year we call at about 13 000 addresses taken at regular intervals from the Post Office s list of addresses the Postcode Address File PAF At these addresses we wish to interview all persons aged 16 or over living in private households The sample is spread over England Scotland and Wales in such a way that different kinds of areas and households are represented Similarly fieldwork is spread over the whole year to make sure that the sample is representative of all times of the year so that the survey can measure for example seasonal changes in employment use of health services etc The PAF is the Post Office s list of addresses or delivery points as they call them and postcodes for Great Britain It is a good sampling frame in that it is as nearly as possible a complete list of addresses and being held on computer tapes it is relatively easy to use for drawing a sample The addresses on your list have been selected at random from the small user Postcode Address File that is the file of delivery points which receive fewer than 25 articles of mail per day By using only the small user file we hope to avoid sampling large institutions and businesses However some small businesses or commercial premises may be sampled and appear on your address list Note however that you must call at all the sampled addresses to check for residential accommodation 2 2 THE ADDRESS LIST

21. We ask people s permission to recall on them for two reasons First although we have not done this for some years we want to retain the ability to identify sub groups of the population for a more detailed follow up interview Second in order to maintain the high standards expected of SSD interviewers regular checks are carried out on all surveys to make sure that the interview has been conducted in the correct manner To meet the requirements of the Data Protection Act the recall question is now asked of each individual at the end of their interview although note that it is not asked if a proxy interview has been taken We also need to record the name and telephone number where possible for every household member who agrees to the recall question These will continue to be entered on a card because for confidentiality reasons we keep people s names separate from the information they have given us in the interview You should complete a recall card for each completely or partially co operating household Please remember to complete one even if income has been refused Note the quota month matches the month of the calendar year ie Jan 01 Feb 02 etc FollowUp If informants seem to have a neutral attitude when asked the recall question you may code this as an unconditional yes code 1 If an informant gives a qualified answer enter code 3 and record what they say in the usual way but remember to make a note of the condition or qu
