UK Alcohol Data Map
- Abstract
-
This 'data map' is provided as a tool for researchers to navigate the publicly available data on alcohol in the UK with the hope that this will facilitate secondary analysis of extensive resources currently available. The search tool can be used to identify datasets that contain variables of interest, or use particular methods. In addition, some features of the sample can be selected. This resource therefore allows researchers to quickly find the right data for their work. You can search for datasets that satisfy a wide variety of characteristics at the same time, including:
* Alcohol questions (e.g. binge-drinking, parental attitudes to alcohol)
* Other topics (e.g. perpetrating crime, sexual behaviour, smoking) * Type of survey (e.g. longitudinal data, among children, sample size, geographical data). - Main Topics/Subject Category
