Background to the Research

  • The chapters in this book are based mainly on data collected by the 2000 and 2001 NILT surveys. Some chapters also use time-series data collected by previous NILT surveys and by the NILT predecessor - the NISA survey.

Research Approach

  • The NILT survey began in 1998 and runs annually.
  • Each year, interviews are carried out with a random selection of adults (aged 18 years and over) who live in private households in NI. The full sample size is around 1,800 respondents - although some modules are asked of only half the sample.
  • The sample is drawn using the Valuation and Lands Agency's list of domestic properties.
  • Fieldwork is undertaken using Computer Assisted Interviewing and a self-completion questionnaire.
  • The NISA surveys ran annually from 1989 to 1996 and interviews were carried out with a random sample of around 800 adults (aged 18 years and over) who lived in private households in NI.
