Opinions and Lifestyle Survey : Special Licence Access, 1997- (formerly ONS Opinions or Omnibus Survey) list of datasets
Users should obtain the data and documentation using the table below.
In January 2008 the ONS Omnibus Survey changed its name to the ONS Opinions Survey (OPN) and became part of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS). A detailed breakdown of the changes that occurred can be found in the documentation.
Subsequently, in January 2010, the OPN component was dropped from the IHS due to only one individual per household being interviewed, while the IHS requires questions to be asked of all household members. This process significantly increased the length of the OPN interview and, therefore, OPN reverted back to interviewing one household member, but still contains questions harmonised to the IHS.
Additionally, with effect from 2008, the decision was made by ONS to classify ALL new and existing Disability Monitoring data (Module 363) and Contraception data (Module 170) issuable only to Approved Researchers under Special Licence access conditions due to the disclosive nature of the modules.
From April 2012 OPN changed its name to the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey following the merger of the non-EU-SILC questions from the General Lifestyle Survey.
