Abstract:

This paper presents some preliminary findings from Wave 17 of the Innovation Panel (IP17) of Understanding Society: The UK Household Longitudinal Study. Understanding Society is a major panel survey in the UK. In July 2024, the seventeenth wave of the Innovation Panel went into the field. IP17 used a mixed-mode design, using on-line interviews, face-to-face interviews, and telephone interviews. This paper describes the design of IP17, the experiments and other studies carried, and the preliminary findings from early analyses of the data.
