Details
The Spring 2022 wave of the PAT was collected between 24 February and 24 March 2022 using the new Address Based Online Survey (ABOS) methodology, covering a sample of 4,381 individuals in the UK.
The new ABOS methodology uses random probability sampling. Respondents are invited to participate through letters sent out to addresses randomly selected from the postcode address file (PAF). They can complete the survey online or on paper.
These results should not be compared with the face-to-face results or online panel results from previous waves due to selection and measurement effects. Details are provided in the Technical Overview report.
The results have been split into topic-based reports. The reports also include the results from Autumn 2021 and Winter 2021, and make comparisons with these results where possible. The Artificial Intelligence and Worker’s Rights reports were not updated in this wave as questions on these topics were not asked and the latest results on these topics can be found in the Autumn 2021 wave.
Request for feedback
As we are now publishing crosstabulations showing headline results by key demographics, we are considering no longer publishing the summary datasets. We will be depositing an anonymised version of the datasets in the Secure Research Service (SRS). Contact us at BEISPAT@beis.gov.uk if you have any questions or comments on this proposal or if you have any other feedback on this publication.
