SMaRteN and NatCen, Britain's leading independent social research institute, have collaborated to produce a guide to national surveys, many of which give data and measurement scales used in mental health in the general population. This comprehensive summary of national surveys is intended as a helpful resource for those looking to measure and study the student population and their mental health. 

Why have we developed this resource? 
The UK has a rich and long tradition of health and social survey research, historically made accessible through the UK Data Service archive. These existing surveys can be used and re-used to answer many questions. They are especially well-suited to measuring change over time and for comparing different groups. So far we have found little evidence of these resources being used to examine the circumstances of people who are students. The surveys listed in this resource all draw on high quality samples of the general population – and so allow students and non-students to be compared. These data sets do come with limitations, and these are also set out in the review. 
Secondary Data Analysis Webinar: general population surveys
​
Thursday 21st March 2019


​Led by Sally McManus from NatCen, this webinar covered topics including:
  • Discussing the data sets available that allow for comparison of student and non-student mental health
  • Clarifying how to access this data
  • Considering challenges in working with this data, and approaches that might be taken to navigate these challenges
  • Identifying questions that might be addressed through secondary data analysis
