SOM-undersökningen i Göteborg 2023
No full textIn the autumn of 2023, the eighth edition of the Gothenburg SOM survey was conducted. A total of 9000 randomly selected citizens of Gothenburg answered questions about attitudes and habits in relation to society, opinion and media. Many of the questions in the Gothenburg survey are of a regional nature, and concern local politicians and infrastructure initiatives. The dataset has changed somewhat in relation to the codebook, in order to reduce the risk of re-identification. The following changes have been made: Variables removed: mtidn1, gbgprob_txt, anparti, trygg_txt, ansex_txt, anspraak, angrupp, f51, f64, ssyk, ssyk96, mellanomr20, mellanomr, sdn Variables added: samhällsgrupp Variables aggregated: f58, f55cHösten 2023 genomfördes för åttonde gången en SOM-undersökning i Göteborgs stad, där totalt 9000 slumpmässigt utvalda göteborgare fick svara på frågor om attityder och vanor i relation till samhälle, opinion och medier. Många av frågorna i Göteborgsundersökningen är av regional karaktär och rör lokala politiker, infrastruktursatsningar, och bilden av Göteborg som stad. Datasetet har förändrats något i förhållande till kodboken, för att minska risken för bakvägsidentifiering. Följande förändringar har gjorts: Borttagna variabler: mtidn1, gbgprob_txt, anparti, trygg_txt, ansex_txt, anspraak, angrupp, f51, f64, ssyk, ssyk96, mellanomr20, mellanomr, sdn Tillagda variabler: samhällsgrupp Aggregerade variabler: f58, f55
Household Appliance Ownership and Electricity Consumption in Ghana
No full textThe data contains information on household demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. The data was collected at the household level, hence, respondents are representatives of each household. It also provides information on electrical appliances owned by each household and their characteristics. Additionally, the data contains information on the monthly amount households pay for electricity and the kilowatts of electricity they consume in a month. The data also provides information on households' knowledge of the impact of electricity consumption on climate change and on the environment. Additionally, it provides information on conditions under which households will be willing to contribute towards climate change mitigation by promoting electricity consumption efficiency.The data contains information on household demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.

Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) Cohort '98 (Child Cohort) Wave 1 - 9 years, 2008
No full textGrowing Up in Ireland - the National Longitudinal Study of Children, is the first survey of its kind ever undertaken in Ireland and, as such, aims to explore the many and varied factors that contribute to or undermine the wellbeing of children currently living there. A two age cohort longitudinal design was adopted with one cohort of 11,134 infants (aged nine months) and the other of 8,568 nine-year olds, with a view to improving and understanding of children’s development across a range of domains. Since the survey is longitudinal in nature respondents in both cohorts are interviewed on a number of occasions over the following few years. The 8,568 children representing the nine-year cohort were born between 1st November 1997 and 31st October 1998
CDI Process Evaluation Inter-agency Collaboration Questionnaire, 2008 – 2012
No full textThis study evaluated the implementation of the Childhood Development Initiative (CDI) in Tallaght West, Co. Dublin, between 2008 and 2012. The project aims included to examine and critically assess the working processes and services of CDI in implementing its programme of work to improve outcomes for children and families. A core aim of the CDI strategy envisaged the Tallaght West community working together to improve the quality of existing service provision in the locality. The evaluation adopted a mixed-methods approach in gathering data, with the primary method being qualitative – interviews, documentary analysis and observations. A small amount of additional data was gathered via a survey, comprising the quantitative element. The survey targeted those working for service agencies, and particularly those working in organisations which work with children and families. The survey theme was interagency working and service integration’ and was conducted to ascertain the extent of interagency working at the strategic level
Functional Family Therapy (FFT) in an Irish Context 2010 - 2014.
No full textFFT is an evidence-based treatment for adolescent behavioural problems, conduct behaviour, substance misuse and delinquency. Therapists meet regularly, usually on a weekly basis for about 3 or 4 months, with adolescents and their families in conjoint sessions. During these sessions they develop a therapeutic alliance with family members, help families develop better parenting practices, communication and problem-solving skills, and use these skills independently to generalize progress made within therapy to home and community contexts. Between 2010 and 2014, a research programme to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of FFT at Archways Family First was conducted by Professor Alan Carr, Dan Hartnett and Clare Graham from the School of Psychology at University College Dublin, in collaboration with Professor Tom Sexton at Indiana University and the team of FFT therapists at Archways Family First. This FFT research programme involved a retrospective survey covering the period 2007-2011, followed by a prosepctive randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effectiveness of FFT at Archways Families First during a later stage of service development covering the period 2012-2014. The RCT provided a valid test of the impact of FFT on adolescent behavioural problems and family adjustment with an Irish context
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Childhood Development Initiative’s Mate-Tricks Pro-Social Behaviour After-School Programme, 2012
No full textThis report presents the findings of an independent evaluation, undertaken by the Centre for Effective Education at Queen’s University Belfast, of the Mate-Tricks pro-social behaviour after-school programme. Mate-Tricks is an after-school programme designed to promote pro-social behaviour in Tallaght West (Dublin). It is aimed at improving pro-social behaviour amongst children aged 9-10 years (Irish 4th class). The intended outcomes of this programme include enhanced children’s pro-social development, confidence and self-esteem, problem-solving skills and reduced anti-social behaviour. This evaluation primarily focused on assessing the impact of Mate-Tricks on children’s outcomes. The programme is part of a wider 10-year strategy that began in 2003, led by the Childhood Development Initiative (CDI), which aimed to improve the health, safety and learning of children. Mate-Tricks is a bespoke intervention that combines elements from two pro-social behaviour programmes: the Strengthening Families Program (SFP) and Coping Power Program (CPP). The programme is a one-year multi-session after-school programme comprising 59 children-only sessions, 6 parent-only sessions and 3 family sessions, with each session lasting 1½ hours. The evaluation of Mate-Tricks utilised a 3-year rolling cohort randomised controlled trial design. The rolling cohort nature of the study means that the randomisation was carried out in three calendar years independently and combined after the trial to produce a sample with sufficient size and study power to detect effects if they were present. The children were referred from 7 schools and were individually randomly assigned within each of these schools. Each school contributed children for each cohort and therefore there was an experimental balance. In short, the data is individually pupil randomised and clustered at school level. Overall, the trial had two arms i.e., children were randomly allocated to the intervention group (which received the programme), or the control group (which did not receive the programme). A total of 589 children randomised to the intervention (n=304) and control conditions (n=285)
European Union Survey of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), 2024
No full textThe primary focus of the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) is the collection of information on the income and living conditions of different types of households in Ireland, in order to derive indicators on poverty, deprivation and social exclusion. It is a voluntary survey (for selected households). Up until 2020 the SILC was carried out under EU legislation (Council Regulation No 1177/2003) and commenced in Ireland in June 2003. On 01/01/2021 Council Regulation No 1177/2003 was repealed by Regulation (EU) 2019/1700. Information is collected from January to June with household interviews being conducted on a weekly basis. The income reference period for SILC is the previous calendar year. Therefore, the income referenced for the 2024 survey spans the period from January to December 2023. In 2024, the achieved sample size was 4,885 households and 12,066 individuals. In 2021 the European legislative basis (Regulation No 1177/2003) for the production of statistics on income and living conditions has been repealed by Regulation 2019/1700. This new framework regulation establishes a common framework for European statistics relating to persons and households, based on data at individual level collected by samples. In order to meet the requirements of the new regulation, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) introduced changes to many SILC business processes. These changes have resulted in a break in the SILC time series for 2020.Data from 2020 onwards is not directly comparable with data from 2004-2019. To make the difference clear, national use variables from 2020 onwards have been re-named. Please note: SILC AMF data is cross-sectional microdata in which household and/or individuals cannot be tracked over time. The household id variables in each cross sectional file are randomly generated and cannot be linked between yearly dataset
European Union Survey of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), 2018
No full textThe Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) in Ireland is a household survey covering a broad range of issues in relation to income and living conditions. It is the official source of data on household and individual income and also provides a number of key national poverty indicators, such as the ‘at risk of poverty’ rate, the consistent poverty rate and rates of enforced deprivation. The primary focus of the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) is the collection of information on the income and living conditions of different types of households in Ireland, in order to derive indicators on poverty, deprivation and social exclusion. It is a voluntary survey of private households. The SILC Anonymised Microdata File (AMF) contains both personal and household level data. Household data is at present duplicated for each member of the household. If performing household level analysis, please be aware of this and subset the data to include a single entry per household (interview_hh = 1). Please note: In 2020 AMF was revised to be more in line with the SILC RMF. Variables were renamed in accordance with Eurostats Doc65, which provides methodological guidelines and description of EU-SILC target variables. The target variables within the AMF are data on household and individual income as well as a number of key national poverty indicators, therefore variables identified as being not relevant to SILC were removed from the AMF. Furthermore, additional statistical disclosure controls were also implemented in the revisions so as to adhere to updates of the Legislation, Governance & Data Policies of the CSO. Please note: SILC AMF data is cross-sectional microdata in which household and/or individuals cannot be tracked over time. The household id variables in each cross sectional file are randomly generated and cannot be linked between yearly datasets.<br
Irish Architecture Career Tracker Survey (IACT), 2023
No full textThe Irish Architecture Career Tracker survey gathered over 680 completed questionnaires. The primary focus was to understand why people leave the profession of architecture, attitudes towards and perceptions of gender equality within the profession and the wider discipline, as well as sexism and discrimination. It includes items which look at the architecture as a profession and the occupations which come under its umbrella as a broader discipline i.e. it allows for individuals who are working in the broad field of architecture as well as registered architects. It includes items which examine work culture, such as long working hours, as well as standard measures of work-family conflict and work pressure, and subjective stress. It uses new measures of attitudes towards gender equity developed by the European Social Survey Round 11 ‘Gender in Contemporary Europe: Rethinking Equality and the Backlash’, developed by Banducci, et al 2020. These are the salience of gender equality policies, contemporary sexism (measure from Ambivalent Sexism Index (Glick and Fiske, 1996) ). It also includes items on experience of microaggressions, bullying, harassment and discrimination at work. It has items which ask about the intersection of gender and professional identity and the perceived impact of gender on career. The data does not include data from other collections, but the survey questionnaire used questions adapted from other surveys, in particular Eurobarometer gender equality surveys and the European Social Survey (ESS; O’Connell et al., 2010; Clark et al., 2012, 2013; European Commission and European Parliament, 2015, 2017; ESS, 2020; YesWePlan!, 2020). The survey ends with a set of questions on the importance of 34 factors in the decision to leave the professional practice of architecture
Women’s Perception and Knowledge of Prenatal Screening for Fetal Trisomy (WPKPSFT), 2020
No full textObjective: Multiple non-invasive tests are available to screen for the risk of fetal trisomy, however, there is no national prenatal screening programme in Ireland. This study aimed to analyse women’s opinions on availability, cost, and knowledge of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for fetal aneuploidy. Methods: An anonymous questionnaire on knowledge of prenatal screening tests and attitudes to termination of pregnancy was developed and distributed to women attending antenatal clinics at a tertiary hospital. Descriptive analyses and chi-squared tests were completed. Conclusions: While Irish women have good overall understanding of screening test interpretation, most were unaware of screening options. A national prenatal screening programme, including education on fetal aneuploidy, should be established
