Abstract

This paper presents some preliminary findings from Wave 15 of the Innovation Panel (IP15) of Understanding Society: The UK Household Longitudinal Study. Understanding Society is a major panel survey in the UK. In June 2022, the fifteenth wave of the Innovation Panel went into the field. IP15 used a mixed-mode design, using on-line interviews, face-to-face interviews, and telephone interviews. This paper describes the design of IP15, the experiments carried and the preliminary findings from early analyses of the data.
