Abstract:
The Understanding Society plans for Waves 13-15 included a general population boost at Wave 13. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lock-down had halted face-to-face research during 2020 and 2021. We took the opportunity of this delay to conduct a review of the design of the boost to include the latest research and best practice in recruiting a new sample. This report describes the development and pilot work undertaken and outlines the final design of the wave 14 general population boost sample and the changes that were made a=er the first year of fieldwork.
