This data includes the four subjective well-being questions which are asked on the IHS as well as additional subjective well-being questions for each of the four months. The report will focus on assessing the data quality as well as some overall results. This is part of a wider objective to investigate subjective well-being, and to investigate the quality of the 4 IHS subjective well-being questions while they are experimental statistics with a view to informing their progress from experimental to national statistics. This will also be an opportunity to test out presentation of results for users to comment on.
