SPSS updates, links and reader inputs (NOTE: Page under development)

|
| This
page includes links to other useful and related sites (both survey
organizations, such as the Office for National Statistics and the
ESRC Data Archive, and organizations which can offer background material
on smoking, such as ASH and FOREST).
It is our intention to keep this book up to date through the web site. In particular, as new editions of SPSS are published, we shall provide a commentary on the changes that have been made as compared with earlier versions. If you have replicated the Smoking Survey (either exactly, or with a different questionnaire or sampling strategy), we invite you to submit your own data set and supporting research materials (codebook, questionnaire, etc). We shall then post this on this section of the web site so that other users can access it for teaching or research purposes. In this way, we hope to build up a series of comparable samples which will allow for repeat testing of findings, comparison of differences in findings resulting from different research strategies, and (possibly) integration of data sets to produce larger, single samples for users to analyze. We shall, of course, give full and clear credit for the authorship of any materials submitted in this way. To find out how to send us materials (or to communicate in any other way with the authors), email us at the following address: [email protected] Find out about old and new versions of SPSS and how they may affect your survey project. There are links to useful and related sites such as the ONS, ESRC Data Archive, and organizations which can offer background material on smoking. Also, data sets and supporting research materials submitted by those who have replicated the Smoking Survey can be accessed here.
