How coronavirus (COVID-19) affects our studies

We have made some changes to how we usually conduct our studies to keep you and our colleagues safe. Following government advice regarding coronavirus (COVID-19), we will be carrying out many of our studies by telephone, instead of face-to-face.

Read more about the changes we’ve made in our statement.

Your contribution is essential for producing statistics used to make decisions which affect you, your family and your community.

Collecting the information we need for our studies is more important than ever, so we appreciate your help at this difficult time.
