Lotteries Survey 02/10/2013
On behalf of The Health Lottery 02/10/13 1,509 respondents Methodology Fieldwork Dates 27 th 29 th September 2013 Data Collection Method The survey was conducted via online panel. Invitations to complete surveys were sent out to a random sample of members of the panel. Population Sampled All adults aged 18+ in England, Scotland and Wales. Sample Size 1,508 Data Weighting Data were weighted to the profile of all adults aged 18+. Data were weighted by sex, age, region, household income and vote in the 2010 general election. Targets for the weighted data were derived from Office of National Statistics 2011 Census data. Margin of Error Because only a sample of the full population was interviewed, all results are subject to margin of error, meaning that not all differences are statistically significant. For example, in a question where 50% (the worst case scenario as far as margin of error is concerned) gave a particular answer, with an effective sample of 1,509 it is 95% certain that the true value will fall within the range of 2.5% from the sample result. Subsamples from the crossbreaks will be subject to higher margin of error, conclusions drawn from crossbreaks with very small subsamples should be treated with caution.
On behalf of The Health Lottery 02/10/13 1,509 respondents Question presentation All data tables shown in full below, in order and wording put to respondents. In all questions where the responses are a list of parties, names or statements, these will typically have been displayed to respondents in a randomising order. The only questions which would not have had randomising responses would be those in which there was a natural order to maintain e.g. a scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree, a list of numbers from 0 to 10 or questions which had factual rather than opinionrelated answers such as demographic information. Other, Don't know and Refused responses are not randomised. Data were analysed and weighted by Survation and presented by Patrick Briône and Damian Lyons Lowe.
