OTHER INFORMATION

OVERALL EVALUATION OF SURVEY FOR DATA REVIEW

High applicability. This is a robust quota survey with the data comparing favourably with Scottish Household Survey data. With the exception of the GoWell survey, the GHS is the best available source of data at the Glasgow- and East End-level on key themes of interest. Opportunities to add new questions are also good. The sample size is large enough to allow subgroup analysis among most equalities groups, although pregnancy/maternity is not covered.

OTHER INFORMATION

OVERALL EVALUATION OF SURVEY FOR DATA REVIEW

Limited applicability. The sampling methodology for this survey is problematic: the Glasgow Housing Association Tenant Satisfaction Survey sample is taken as a basis and boosted to be representative of all households (4,500 tenants and 2,434 non-tenants). Even with weighting, it seems that this would introduce bias. However, the sample is large enough to allow analysis at the East End-level. It would also allow for analysis by some key equalities groups (including those living in social housing), although sexual orientation, disability and pregnancy/maternity are not covered.
