Abstract:
This paper presents some preliminary findings from Wave 18 of the Innovation Panel (IP18) of Understanding Society: The UK Household Longitudinal Study. Understanding Society is a major panel survey in the UK. In July 2025, the eighteenth wave of the Innovation Panel went into the field. IP18 used a mixed-mode design, using on-line interviews, face-to-face interviews, and telephone interviews. This paper describes the design of IP18, the experiments and other studies carried, and the preliminary findings from early analyses of the data.
