Applied Quantitative Methods Network: Phase II (Resubmission of proposal)

Description	1. Influencing the Scottish Government Commission on Widening Access. The Education and Social Stratification (ESS) strand had significant impact due to extensive, proactive engagement with a wide range of policy representatives and practitioners, disseminating and discussing the implications of its programme of research on curriculum differentiation and social inequality within the Scottish higher education system. In particular, the strand has played a crucial role in informing the work of the Commission on Widening Access (COWA) which was established in 2015 by the First Minister to advise Scottish Government Ministers on how to ensure that children from all social backgrounds have the same chance of entering Higher Education in Scotland. Members of this strand also engaged extensively with representatives from Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament, widening participation officers from Universities and colleges across Scotland and representatives of the school sector. This engagement began with two half-day knowledge exchange (KE) events in May and June 2015 on 'Social inequalities in graduates' job opportunities' and 'School subject choice and inequalities in Higher Education entry'. Research briefing papers were published for both events and there was wide audience participation. Subsequently, COWA launched a call for evidence in the summer of 2015 and Professor Iannelli led a formal AQMeN submission based on the research evidence. Further research findings were presented to the Commission in September 2015, which led to the inclusion of the AQMeN research in the interim and final COWA reports. Also in November, AQMeN held a further KE event on 'Social inequalities in education: why and how national institutional factors matter' as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science (FoSS). Dame Ruth Silver (Chair of the COWA) agreed to Chair the event and Commission member Russell Gunson participated as a panellist. In conjunction with the FoSS event, Professor Adam Gamoran was invited to speak at a formal dinner - organised by the Moray House School of Education and attended by Angela Constance MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong learning, and Stewart Maxwell MSP, Convenor of the Education & Culture Committee - on the lessons of the 'No Child Left Behind' policy in November 2015, Professor Iannelli participated in the National Improvement Framework roundtable meeting with Scottish Government officials, organised by the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE), which led to the publication of RSE Advice Paper 15-25. In December 2015, Professor Iannelli presented AQMeN research at a Widening Access Seminar organised by the University of Edinburgh, an event which also informed the work of CoWA. She also participated in a one-day Expert Group meeting organised by the Scottish Funding Council and chaired by Conor Ryan, a Sutton Trust and CoWA member, on Measures, Tracking, Evidence and Targets to inform the work of CoWA. In January 2016, Professor Iannelli gave expert advice to the Education and Culture Committee at the Scottish Parliament on the Scottish Government policies on closing the attainment gap which aimed to inform an evidence session in February. In February 2016, a further AQMeN KE event was held to disseminate the findings of the new SFC-funded project on inequalities in HE retention. A new research briefing paper Beyond Access to HE: widening access initiatives and student retention in Scotland was published to accompany this event. This project report also directly informed the CoWA final report which was published in March 2016. Following the publication of the CoWA report, Professor Peter Scott was appointed as Commissioner for Fair Access. In January 2017 Professor Iannelli met with Professor Peter Scott to discuss the findings of the AQMeN research and continue informing governmental policies on widening access to HE. Details of the interim and final reports from the Commission on Widening Access can be found at http://media.wix.com/ugd/785ba4_89804d31da5c4a5a9e599e0297ca955a.pdf and http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0049/00496619.pdf In his first report (available at http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0052/00529104.pdf), Professor Peter Scott mentions the AQMeN work on the role of institutional factors for widening participation in higher education (see in the reference list, Iannelli, C. (2016). This testifies that the impact of the Education and Social Stratification work continues until today. It is clear that throughout 2015/16 the ESS strand has led a successful programme of engagement. Both the interim and final COWA published reports make direct reference to the AQMeN research findings, and also makes recommendations based on bespoke advice provided on the necessity for more longitudinal data and the need for independent evaluation of initiatives aimed at closing the attainment gap and widening access to higher education. If these research findings are adopted, progress towards a more equitable social distribution of University entrants in Scotland may result in future years. 2. Changing the focus of crime reduction strategies in Scotland through Building Safer Communities The Crime and Victimisation Strand (CVS) was influential in informing the strategic direction of the Scottish Government's flagship Building Safer Communities Programme (BSCP). The BSCP implemented a number of place-based initiatives in a range of local pilot areas, building on an assets based approach to reducing crime and improving community wellbeing. Susan McVie (leader of the AQMeN crime research) joined the BSCP Board in 2013 and was appointed the Performance Champion for the programme in 2014. Through her regular contributions to the Board (which met quarterly), McVie provided evidence from the AQMeN research around inequalities and the crime drop at national, regional and local level; and findings on the changing profile of both victims and offenders in Scotland. This evidence was used to develop new policies and practices aimed at significantly reducing the number of victims of crime in Scotland by 2018, especially in the most deprived communities. In particular, by bringing together the research evidence on crime inequalities involving both 'people' (e.g. victims and offenders) and 'places' (e.g. crime locus and events), we influenced innovative thinking around how policing strategies can be more accurately targeted and can have diffusion benefits. We also influenced collaborative practice and better coordination of public service delivery across a range of agencies, especially through influencing the development of better data sharing practices and more intelligent demand management which uses vulnerability and mental health as a key focus for preventative action. The BSCP finished in December 2018; however, it was acknowledged by the Chair of the Board that the AQMeN research contributed significantly to the success of the programme and will have an ongoing influence on thinking around making communities safer. 3. Transforming stop and search policy and practice in Scotland. Susan McVie and Kath Murray of the CVS team had significant impact in transforming policy, practice, scrutiny and legislation in relation to stop and search in Scotland. Their research was instrumental in informing and influencing Scottish Government debate and decision making around stop and search. It also led to greater scrutiny of Police Scotland by the Scottish Parliament Justice Committee, Scottish Police Authority and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland. They responded to various consultations and Calls for Evidence and engaged with various organisations and political parties. In May 2015, McVie was appointed by the Cabinet Secretary for Justice to the Scottish Government Independent Advisory Group on Stop and Search, which recommended to Parliament the cessation of non-statutory stop and search in Scotland and the introduction of a new Code of Practice on stop and search. McVie was instrumental in getting political agreement to introduce regular publication and scrutiny of data on stop and search by Police Scotland. Murray was a longstanding member of the Police Scotland REORG group, which coordinated the production of evidence around stop and search, and a key advisor to practitioners. The changes to stop and search policing powers (influenced by McVie and Murray) were introduced into legislation by the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 and the new Code of Practice was laid before the Scottish Parliament and gained assent in February 2017. Overall, McVie and Murray's work contributed to a transformation in stop and search policy and practice, which led to a substantial reduction in the use of stop and search on the Scottish public (identified by the European Court of Human Rights as a human rights issue). In addition, the introduction of the Code of Practice (which McVie was involved in drafting) led to force-wide training within Police Scotland on changes to the use of stop and search and to improve understanding of the powers of search based on reasonable suspicion. It has been acknowledged by Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority that this training led to widespread cultural change within Police Scotland on their approach to crime reduction and prevention. McVie had responsibility for overseeing the official review of the implementation of the Code of Practice. Publication of a 6 month review report received significant political and social media attention and was discussed at First Ministers Questions in the Scottish Parliament. McVie has recently completed the 12 month review, which will be published in Spring 2019, after which further changes to legislation, policy and/or practice may be introduced. More importantly, McVie and Murray's research led to a widespread change of opinion and dialogue within Police Scotland and Scottish Government around the use of stop and search, and indeed wider policing practices, in Scotland. McVie and Murray have worked with Police Scotland to create a new set of Area Commander Metrics that have been adopted for internal monitoring and scrutiny purposes. They have also been instrumental in supporting the scrutiny process of stop and search by providing direct advice to the Scottish Police Authority and HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland. 4. Influencing the UK Government Department for Communities and Local Government & Rotherham City Council. In December 2016, Professor Pryce (leader of the Urban Segregation and Inequality strand) was invited to present on 'Life at the Frontier: Impacts of Frontiers in Residential Segregation' to the UK Government's Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), drawing on AQMeN research into social frontiers and segregation. There is potential for impact here, if DCLG use this evidence to consider the implications of different forms of segregation, with a view to rethinking housing and community planning policies. Local authority representatives from Rotherham were keen to explore ways of working with the AQMeN Urban Segregation and Inequality research team to help them understand segregation problems in their area and how to design policies to address them. This led to community engagement event in Rotherham in June 2017 in collaboration with the Imagine and UBDC ESRC projects, followed by an invitation in July 2017 to present research on segregation to senior members of the Rotherham Metropolitan Council. These initiatives in turn led to Prof Pryce being interviewed for Radio 4 by Douglas Alexander, former Secretary of State for International Development, on research on segregation and inequality. An excerpt from the interview was later broadcast in the Radio 4 Culture of Encounter documentary. 5. Working with Government in Hebei Province, China. USI Researchers at Sheffield University, including AQMeN Co-Director Professor Gwilym Pryce and AQMeN Research Associate Dr Guanpeng Dong are collaborating with Hebei Institute of Statistical Sciences (HISS). The purpose of this collaboration, established in January 2017, is to provide the government of Hebei Province in China with complex analysis of the spatial dynamics of poverty, pollution and health in Hebei. Dr Dong developed the HSAR (Hierarchical Spatial Autoregressive Model) R toolkit during his time with AQMeN, and this is being utilised as part of this collaboration with Hebei. Dr Dong received the Jon Rasbash Prize for Quantitative Social Science in June 2016 for the paper Dong, G., Harris, R (2015) Spatial autoregressive models for geographically hierarchical data structures. Geographical Analysis, 47(2):173-191, which he developed further in his paper: Spatial Random Slope Multilevel Modelling using Multivariate Conditional Autoregressive Models, published in the Annals of the Association of American Geographers 106(1): 19-35 Dong, G P, Ma J, Harris R and Pryce G. (2016), which explores how to incorporate a spatial dependence effect into the standard multilevel modelling (MLM). Hebei province has some of the most polluted cities in the world. A key priority for the 74 million people who live there is to find ways of reducing air pollution and to address the associated social and health inequalities. This collaboration has led to further funding including an ESRC SDAI GCRF award on the "Dynamics of Health & Environmental Inequalities in Hebei Province, China" to develop the necessary data infrastructure needed to provide the government with a clear picture of how pollution, health and social deprivation are related and how they have changed over time. The potential for impact is exceptional due to: (a) the scale and importance of the problem the research team are seeking to address, and (b) access to senior policy makers made possible through collaboration with the Hebei Institute of Statistical Sciences (HISS). This project offers an outstanding opportunity to make a step change in the quality and richness of evidence available to decision makers in Hebei Province. The new project will give researchers an opportunity to make the statistical innovations of the AQMeN project more accessible and more widely known, including this HSAR (Hierarchical Spatial Autoregressive Model) R toolkit, and techniques for computing inference using Bayesian CAR (Conditional Auto Regressive) methods. 6. Collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Social Science. USI has also developed links with the Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS), which is essentially a think tank/research unit that provides data and analysis to inform Chinese social and economic policy. We successfully bid for an ESRC/Newton fund project to explore ways to apply the new methods developed in USI to Chinese data with a view to improving the evidence base for research on segregation and inequality in China. In July 2017 Professor Pryce and colleagues at Sheffield ran a one day conference with plenary speakers from the UK, Estonia, CASS, and the Runnymede Trust. The conference was followed by a 4 day summer school providing training to delegates of CASS to help pave the way for our methods being used by Chinese government researchers. 7. Informing public debate on the Scottish Referendum. This included funding for additional sweeps of the Scottish Social Attitudes Survey, new funding for a survey of young Scots voters, and a study of the role that social media played in the independence referendum. As a whole, this research had a significant impact on policy decision making, political debate and media dissemination. The findings from the research were used widely by politicians and political commentators, and were broadcast all over the world. Findings from the Scottish Social Attitudes Survey were released through published reports and the What Scotland Thinks? Website and provided critical scrutiny of the assertions of both sides. They also gave both sides of the debate (and the media) guidance as to what the issues were about which voters felt the need to be informed. The SSA analysis, especially through John Curtice's frequent public appearances at conferences and in the news media, shaped many aspects of the debate, notably on: • the importance of maximal devolution in people's constitutional preferences; • predicting that the February 2013 currency intervention would not prove beneficial to the No side; • highlighting that people like social risks such as pensions being funded out of a UK pool (this point picked up particularly in speeches and writing by Gordon Brown, MP). Moreover, the analysis from SSAS 2013 that economics continued to remain central to voters' decisions had a clear impact on the kinds of appeals the campaigns have been making (as demonstrated by the claim that independence was worth £1000 per person per year and the Union was worth £1400), and on journalistic and public understanding of what matters in the referendum. Rachel Ormston's prior analysis of the gender differences in support for independence were pivotal in concentrating public debate on this question; her work was presented at the August 2014 public event, and received extensive coverage in the print and broadcast media, including a high-profile live interview on the Radio 4 Today programme on the day of the conference. Jan Eichhorn's analysis of the characteristics of people who had not yet decided how to vote in the referendum was strongly influential on campaigning by both sides of the main debate. 8. Understanding the attitudes and behaviours of Young Scots voters The referendum saw the voting age lowered to 16, enfranchising a new group of voters that never before had the chance to take part in a national vote. Because of this, most political attitudes data only contained information for respondents aged 18 or above. Polls that contained results for under-18 year olds often had too small a sub-sample to do any meaningful analyses. Therefore this project was to conduct two surveys of 14-17 year olds in Scotland, in April and May 2013 and 2014 respectively. A key aim of this project was to use the research evidence to inform the public and media to achieve wider engagement on the Referendum. Key highlights and impact from this project include: • We took part in a wide range of public events and reached a large number of people beyond the media outputs. We provided briefings and input to researchers in both the UK and Scottish Government to support the improvement of the quality of the debate with factual evidence. • Our work was cited by political figures in public settings (e.g. Gordon Brown: http://www.scotsman.com/news/education/gordon-brown-scots-want-uk-wide-school-system-1-3445973) • We provided evidence to consultations relating to political engagement of young people and the discussion about lowering the voting age for: a consultation by the Scottish Government in April 2014 ("Scotland's electoral future") and a British Youth Council Select Committee on "Lowering the Voting Age to 16". Following the Referendum, Jan Eichhorn presented at a meeting of the Cross-Party Group on Youth Politics at Holyrood. Two of the three expert advisors cited our work on voting age and youth political attitudes. Other relevant organisations (including the Scottish Youth Parliament) stated that they were using our research as a source in their submissions to the Smith commission. 9. Measuring the impact of social media on opinions on and attitudes to Scottish Independence This project was funded to carry out research into the impact that social media had on public opinion to the Scottish Independence Referendum. The project aimed to study the nature and impact of online discussion threads on attitudes to independence. In addition, additional funding was obtained through the AQMeN Collaborative Small Grants Scheme to examine Twitter content in the lead up to the referendum campaign. The main highlights and impact from this project were: • We provided extensive and rigorously analysed evidence that, despite frequent claims in public, the online debate was on the whole being conducted fairly and with reasonable respect, though as robustly as any political debate. • The online debate did not use evidence and there was little sign that the ideals of deliberative democracy were being achieved, despite the possibilities offered by some online forums. • This data was influential in the political analysis of the debates and discussions taking place on social media during the course of the referendum. 10. Improving secondary school education on political science Material from all the projects listed above was brought together to create a set of teaching materials for use in schools. These were developed in collaboration with the Scottish Modern Studies Association. Over 100 schools and numerous other organisations downloaded the materials, and many passed on the materials to colleagues in other institutions. In addition, the materials were shared with a wider UK audience by sharing best practice guidelines with the Beyond the Youth Citizenship Commission Report: Young People and Politics (Political Studies Association) and beyond the UK, by broadening the applicability and reach of the guidelines through a TedX talk (available on YouTube). Many students engaged with our materials and developed greater levels of confidence in engaging with facts and figures presented to them during, and after, the campaign. Overall the impact from these projects was significant and generated a significant amount of media attention. There were half a million unique users recorded on the What Scotland Thinks website during September 2014, set up as part of the SSA project but used by all three to post updates on the research evidence as it emerged. There was extraordinary media attention around the debate with its figuring at or near the top of the BBC News at 10 every evening in the final week before 18 September. 11. The view from the continent: What people in other member states think about the UK's EU referendum In 2015/16, the ESRC funded a further programme of research around the 'UK in a Changing Europe' initiative, and AQMeN was successful in bidding for funding under this programme. This project, titled 'The view from the continent: What people in other member states think about the UK's EU referendum', aimed to better understand how the governments of EU member states (MS), bearing in mind public opinion in their own countries, might respond to the UK's attempt to renegotiate the terms of its EU membership. The work was in two parts: 1) a series of surveys in different EU MS was conducted to understand public perceptions of the UK's EU referendum and to develop a better understanding of the perceived implications of the referendum for the EU and its member states; and 2) interviews were held with elites in those same countries in an attempt to better understand the role that public opinion, and the content of public opinion, plays in decision-making. This was the only ESRC funded project to examine public views in different EU member states, which will be a vitally important aspect of the negotiation process during Brexit. The study produced important insights, includng: • We demonstrated the strong differentiation between the UK and other member states regarding fundamental attitudes towards the EU. • We showed a great degree of variation in different EU countries on the appraisal of current EU arrangements. • We found little appetite for exceptionalism for the UK, but substantial support for changes at EU level that would apply to all member states. • We demonstrated substantial interest in referenda in four out of six member states, with a varying degree of support as well as the potential for serious knock on effects from a British EU exit. Findings from this study were disseminated widely during pre-referendum period, including: four well-attended public events in London, Edinburgh, Brussels and Berlin); events in North America at the Wilson Institute in Washington, Georgetown University, The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, McGill University and the University of Montreal. The findings also received extensive media attention, including for example coverage in The Guardian, the Independent, the BBC, the Daily Record, the Herald, Der Spiegel, Le Monde, CNN and RNE.

Impact	Professor Susan McVie was appointed by the Cabinet Secretary for Justice as a member of the Scottish Government's Advisory Group on Stop and Search in May 2015. She was one of the co-authors of the official report of the Advisory Group on Stop and Search delivered to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice in August 2015. Amongst the recommendations were that a Code of Practice should be introduced through statute to govern the use of stop and search in Scotland and that the use of non-statutory (or consensual) stop and search should end. McVie was directly responsible for the inclusion of a recommendation that data on all recorded stops and searches should be released on a regular basis for the purposes of evaluating and monitoring the use of the practice through increased public scrutiny. The Cabinet Secretary agreed to all of the report recommendations and the amendments to police powers of search were legislated in the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016.

Policy Influence Type	Participation in a guidance/advisory committee
Impact	Following publication of the report of the Independent Advisory Group on Stop and Search in August 2015, the Advisory Group consulted on and drafted a new Code of Practice for stop and search in Scotland. The Code of Practice was laid before Parliament on 11th January 2017 and will come into effect from 11th May 2017. It sets out a comprehensive set of principles on which stop and search should be carried out, and clarifies aspects of practice in regards to the conduct of stop and search in Scotland. Significantly, the new Code of Practice goes beyond similar documents in other jurisdictions by containing detailed guidance on the use of stop and search for children and young people, which are based on human rights principles and underpinned by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Scottish Government's Getting It Right for Every Child approach. The Code also contains detailed guidance on dealing with vulnerable adults. McVie was heavily involved in the drafting of the Code of Practice and the supplementary report to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice.

Description	Consultation on Police Powers to Search Children and Young People for Alcohol
Geographic Reach	Local/Municipal/Regional
Policy Influence Type	Contribution to a national consultation/review
Impact	Between 21 March and 15 July 2016, the Scottish Government undertook a public consultation on whether the police should have legal powers to stop and search children and young people for alcohol, or people suspected of supplying children with alcohol. The consultation was launched because the Independent Advisory Group on Stop and Search was unable to reach a consensus on whether there should be a new statutory power to stop and search children for alcohol, and recommended further consultation on this matter. The consultation sought views on the option of introducing statutory powers to stop and search children for alcohol, or those suspected of supplying children with alcohol. The AQMeN Crime and Victimisation Team took part in the consultation and submitted a report providing extensive data and analysis on underage drinking trends in Scotland, and on how police officers use their powers of stop and search, and seizure in relation to underage drinking. The report concluded that there was insufficient evidence to warrant the extension of police powers to search children and young people for alcohol and recommended that a period of further assessment was required before this could take place. The official report of the consultation makes reference to the report in its deliberations, and the recommendation of the report was accepted by the Scottish Government. No power to search children and young people for alcohol was introduced, and the policy is under review.

Description	Training for Police Scotland Intelligence Analysts
Geographic Reach	Local/Municipal/Regional
Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	The AQMeN Crime and Victimisation Team have been involved in delivering training for Scottish police crime analysts. This started with an initial training session titled @Introduction to statistical modelling for qualitative researchers' run as a bespoke event for police crime analysts and researchers who were interested in learning about statistical modelling (28.2.14). Funding was then secured to run a series of bespoke training events for Police Scotland to train their analysts in using and modelling crime data. Three follow up training events were held in November 2014, January 2015 and December 2015. These events provided detailed training on the analysis of crime data, and in particular on the way in which data on stop and search could be analysed to better understand trends and patterns. A bespoke training manual was produced for Police Scotland, and this was also turned into a blueprint report for police officers on how to interpret and understand crime data. The report is currently being used to develop a manual for Area Commanders in Police Scotland to monitor trends and patterns in stop and search as part of the scrutiny measures established by the Independent Advisory Group on Stop and Search.

Description	Uk Statistics Authority reviews of crime statistics in Scotland
Geographic Reach	Local/Municipal/Regional
Policy Influence Type	Contribution to a national consultation/review
Impact	In 2014 and 2016, members of the AQMeN Crime and Victimisation team were involved in formal evaluation of crime statistics in Scotland by the UK Statistics Authority. We provided expert advice to the UKSA evaluators on the frequency and quality of published data and reports, the availability and usability of publicly available data and the interpretation and commentary of published information on crime in Scotland. Our advice was based on our extended analysis of data from the Scottish crime surveys and recorded crime statistics for the AQMeN portfolio of research. Our input to the 2014 evaluation was influential in leading to the removal of the National Statistics status of Recorded Crime Statistics in Scotland. Our input to the 2016 evaluation has been influential in informing the UK Statistics Authority's ongoing programme of intervention on UK crime statistics.

Title	CARBayes
Description	This tool implements a class of univariate and multivariate spatial generalised linear mixed models for areal unit data, with inference in a Bayesian setting using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation. The new AQMeN funded statistical methods for computing inference for the Dissimilarity Index (Lee, Minton and Pryce 2015) and the Relative Centralisation Index (Kavanagh, Lee and Pryce 2016) have been incorporated into the CARBayes Package in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

Type Of Material	Improvements to research infrastructure
Year Produced	2016
Provided To Others?	Yes
Impact	AQMeN Research Associate Guanpeng Dong was awarded the Jon Rasbash prize for Quantitative Social Science for developing this work. The tool-kit has been included as part of a collaboration with AQMeN researchers at Sheffield University and the government of Hebei Province in China to analyse the spatial dynamics of poverty, pollution and health in Hebei.. Hebei province has some of the most polluted cities in the world. A key priority for the 74 million people who live there is to find ways of reducing air pollution and to address the associated social and health inequalities. It is crucial that the true cost of pollution is included in economic planning. The first step is to develop the necessary data infrastructure needed to provide the government a clear picture of how pollution, health and social deprivation are related and how they have changed over time. The potential for impact is exceptional due to: (a) the scale and importance of the problem we are seeking to address, and (b) access to senior policy makers made possible through collaboration with the Hebei Institute of Statistical Sciences (HISS). This project offers an outstanding opportunity to make a step change in the quality and richness of evidence available to decision makers in Hebei Province. The new project will give researchers an opportunity to make the statistical innovations of the AQMeN project more accessible and more widely known, including this HSAR (Hierarchical Spatial Autoregressive Model) R toolkit , and techniques for computing inference using Bayesian CAR (Conditional Auto Regressive) methods. This is a new collaboration which was established in early 2017 and the work will begin later this year.

Title	Location, Dynamics, Owner Occupation and Ethnicity in Scotland (LDOES) Dataset
Description	The LDOES project investigated the dynamics of changing neighbourhood populations over two decades in Scotland. The project linked two ESRC projects: AQMeN II and Dynamics of Ethnic Identity & Inequality. The project identified a lack of available information on ethnic migration dynamics in inter-census years. The Registers of Scotland (RoS) house transactions data was used to address this deficit. The RoS data captures each and every house transaction in Scotland between 1990 and 2014. Each record lists the geographical location of the property and the postal town of the original buyer. Additional information about buyers and sellers as well as the date, property type and transaction value are also recorded. Ethnicity and religion of both buyer and seller were imputed using the name-classification software Onomap. The property location was geocoded into a GIS format using R. The RoS was aggregated into annual inflow tables for future research use. The aggregation is at the level of 2001 Scottish Datazones (each unit covers between 500 - 1000 residents). The tables report total number of transactions in a datazone for a particular year, and the buyer's imputed religion or ethnicity based on name-classification. Where there is more than one buyer in a transaction, the buyer's information is based on the name of the first buyer in a transaction. Care has been taken to remove non-residential property transactions from the aggregate tables. Outflow data based on seller's names in the RoS was less reliable due to missing name information and is therefore not included in the data deposit.

Description	EpiStressNet: A biosocial systems approach to understanding the epigenetic embedding of social stress responses
Organisation	University of Sheffield
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	Professor Gwilym Pryce has been helping EpiStressNet develop a research agenda around the epigenetic impact of social frontiers.
Collaborator Contribution	Genetics experts such as r Vincent Cunliffe at Sheffield University have helped Professor Pryce to think about the significant potential of some of the ideas and methods that have been developed in the AQMeN USI research. At present, the causal mechanism for how neighbourhoods affect individual outcomes is something of a black box. Collaborating with EpiStressNet has led to some clear ideas as to how to address this gap in our knowledge and potentially lead to agenda-setting research.
Impact	Since launching this collaboration in 2015, the network has held two away days and produced two presentations about their work and a one-page summary of a potential research bid to be submitted to ESRC/BBSRC/MRC. Further information about recent meetings can be found on-line at http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/epistressnet/meetings/events/glasgow_beatson_meeting

Results and Impact	After Brexit: Euroscepticism and EU-referendums - what drives public attitudes towards referendums and the EU? - Ever since the UK's EU referendum was announced, genuine concerns existed about a possible 'Brexit'-contagion-effect in which citizens of other EU member states would start to call more vocally for their own referendums. Using data from a survey conducted in six EU member states in January 2016, Jan, Dan and Christine will present insights from their evaluation of the potential for contagion effects. Their initial analysis is based on simple binary logistic regressions identifying what drives citizens to want their own referendum and also how they might vote if they were granted such a referendum. A discussion of more complex possibilities using the same and other survey data will follow.

Results and Impact	Exploring & Visualising Geographic Information for Social Scientists The first two days of the course will focus particularly on exploring and mapping data released pre-aggregated to a commonly used geographical unit (polygon area) such as the standard statistical geographies data zones, super output areas or census tracts (for example Census data or data released by Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics). We will also briefly look at how to produce maps providing context about an area (e.g. roads, rivers, administrative boundaries) and how you might visualise your own individual level data with a geographic identifier at an aggregate level. The third day will give participants an introduction to the key exploratory spatial data analysis concepts of spatial autocorrelation and Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA). Day 3 will focus on how to explore and visualise whether there are underlying spatial associations in data relating to place (e.g. data on neighbourhoods or regions) and understanding why this might be useful.

Results and Impact	Herald Scotland article - School has no effect on higher study - Tuesday 8 October 2013. Pupils who go to university from schools which perform below the Scottish average do just as well on degree courses as those from above average schools - even if they have fewer A grades at Higher. Researchers from St Andrews University in Fife found students with three As at Higher from a "below average school" performed as well at the institution as those with four As at Higher from an "above average school". Dr Laurence Lasselle, a senior lecturer in economics from St Andrews, will discuss the findings todayat a conference on widening access at Edinburgh University - part of a series of events run by the Economic and Social Research Council. Another presentation will highlight the fact Scottish universities are still dominated by the middle classes, despite a recent expansion of places. Dr Cristina Iannelli, an education sociologist from Edinburgh University, said the expansion had led to opportunities for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. But most had secured places at "lower-status" institutions rather than the ancient universities. Her presentation states: "Education policy, on its own, cannot eradicate social inequalities. Wider social reforms are needed."

Results and Impact	Devolution and geographies of education: the use of the Millennium Cohort Study for 'home international' comparisons across the UK This seminar will be presented by Professor Chris Taylor, Cardiff University Abstract Following political devolution in the late 1990s and the establishment of the governments for Wales and Scotland, the education systems of the four home countries of the UK have significantly diverged. Not only does that mean that education research in the UK has to be sensitive to such divergence, but that the divergence of policy and practice provides an important opportunity to undertake comparative research within the UK. Such 'home international' comparisons between the four home countries of the UK also provide the opportunity to undertake 'natural experiments' of education policy and practice across similar socio-economic contexts. Using the UK Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) - a recent longitudinal birth cohort study specifically designed to provide the potential for geographical analysis - the seminar finds considerable variation in child development by country of the UK, with no single story of 'success'. However, the seminar finds that literacy development amongst children in England is, particularly in London, on average, greater than for children elsewhere. The paper concludes by arguing that 'home international' comparisons must take seriously issues of scale and geography when interpreting the influence of 'national' education systems and policies on educational outcomes. All feedback from AQMeN activities are currently being reviewed.

Results and Impact	The Future of Scotland: Attitudes of 14-17 year olds on the Scottish independence referendum During this event results from the first representative survey of 14-17 year olds in Scotland regarding the 2014 independence referendum werepresented. Funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) a team of researchers from the University of Edinburgh had designed and conducted a Scotland-wide survey of this age group. The understanding of their views is crucial, considering the lowering of the voting age to 16 for the referendum which will see most people in this age group able to cast their vote. Prior to this event there has not been a comprehensive and representative survey of this group. This event provided the first opportunity to engage with the results from the breadth of themes covered in the survey. The project does not simply provide a poll on the main referendum question, but sets of questions addressing themes relating to: Views on the idea of an independent Scotland Attitudes towards politics Perceptions of national identity Differences in socio-demographic background Parental views on an independent Scotland The questions used in the survey are based on existing large-scale adult surveys, but have been piloted also in a school with 110 pupils allowing the research team to refine the questions to become more meaningful to young people. Some reflection on the views from those involved in the pilot will be presented as well. After the presentation of the results there was substantial room for discussion and an outlook for further work with this data. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

Results and Impact	Painting by Numbers: The Changing Landscape of Crime in Scotland This lecture will consider the dramatic change in patterns of crime that have been observed in Scotland in recent years and explore whether it represents real cultural and behavioural change. Specifically, it will explore the place of young people in this changing landscape and consider the implications for changes in patterns of offending - at both the aggregate and the individual levels - on our formal responses to the problem of youth offending. The lecture will present key findings from two major programmes of research - the Applied Quantitative Methods Network Crime and Victimisation Study and the Edinburgh Study of Youth Transitions and Crime - to highlight the increasing importance of quantitative research in informing theory, policy and practice. In exploring these issues, both the challenges and the opportunities of building capacity in quantitative criminology will be considered."

Results and Impact	The Scottish Household Survey and Scottish House Conditions Survey were introduced in 1999 to provide information about the characteristics, attitudes and behaviour of Scottish households and individuals on a range of issues, such as social justice, transport and housing. Now combined into one survey, the Scottish Household Survey provides information on the composition, characteristics, attitudes and behaviour of households and individuals at national and sub-national level. The survey allows relationships between social variables within households to be explored, which supports cross-disciplinary analysis of topics such as social justice and welfare-to-work. This event aims to raise awareness and knowledge about the Scottish Household Survey (SHS). Course content: This half-day seminar will provide an introduction to the SHS, including a detailed introduction on the background to the survey, why it is important in policy terms, and the design and methodology of the survey. This will be followed by three presentations from expert users of the SHS, who will talk about how they have used the data to investigate important topics for both policy and theory. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

Results and Impact	Course Presenters: The confirmed presenters for the course will be: Susan Walker - NRS SLS Project Manager (National Records of Scotland) Professor Gillian Raab - Statistician (University of St Andrews) Dr Kevin Ralston - SLS Support Officer (University of St Andrews) Dr Lee Williamson - SLS Support Officer (University of St Andrews) Course Content: The Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) links together routinely collected administrative data for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population (about 270,000 people). It includes a wealth of information from the censuses (currently 1991 and 2001), vital events registrations (births, deaths, marriages), weather and pollution data, and education data from 2007 onwards. The SLS with appropriate permissions can also be linked to other health data sources such as cancer registry and hospital admission data from the NHS in Scotland. Additionally, the 2011 Census data will be linked to the SLS. The size and scope of the SLS make it an unparalleled resource for analysing a range of socio-economic, demographic and health questions, including those which are based on reasonably rare events. The longitudinal nature of the SLS is particularly valuable, it provides insights into the health and social status of the Scottish population and, how it changes over time. The SLS data includes the dates at which SLS members experience outcomes such as marriage, widowhood, death etc. To analyse such data we can calculate the time to event of interest and use survival analysis techniques to compare groups. Part one of the course will introduce the SLS and the types of research that can be done with the SLS, along with details on accessing the SLS and procedures for requesting linked NHS data. To develop an understanding of the SLS an introduction to the SLS data dictionary is given alongside some group-work using the SLS data dictionary. To attend part one sign up using the Register button at the bottom of this page. Part two of the course will introduce methods to display and model time to event data, including Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox proportional hazards regression. The survival analysis theory will be complimented with hands-on practical sessions using either SPSS, Stata or R on the SLS training dataset. Presentations of real SLS projects will also be given to demonstrate research potential. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

Geographic Reach	Local
Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	This event will use the Scottish Crime and Justice Survey to introduce students to research employing survey methods and in particular highlighting the applied use of regression techniques. It is aimed both at students with an interest in criminology and with an interest in survey methods/regression techniques more generally, as both substantive and methodological questions will be addressed. The event will include an introduction to the survey, its content and history with a focus on highlighting suggestions about types of research topics that could be addressed with the rich data it contains. This will be followed by discussions about the survey design to emphasise methodological issues and the presentation of relevant findings using meaningful techniques, in particular based on regression frameworks. To extend the scope, the Edinburgh Study of Youth Transitions and Crime survey will also be introduced, to show participants the wealth of topical data that is available to them. No prior knowledge of either the substantive field or the techniques used is expected. There will be room for questions and discussion. The event will be useful for anyone interested in the themes described, but will also be a meaningful addition for the students on the regression modelling course offered during the summer school. Sarah MacQueen, who works as a researcher at the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research based at the University of Edinburgh with extensive experience in using this survey, will be leading the presentations at the event.

Type Of Presentation	paper presentation
Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Postgraduate students
Results and Impact	The aim of this half day event is to provide an introduction toa range of advanced quantitative methods and analytical techniques that are commonly used in social science. It will give participants the opportunity to identify which methods may be appropriate and relevant to their own research. The event will commence with a networking buffet lunch at which representatives from research organisations will display exhibition stands and be available to discuss their research activities. We will also be showing short-video clips on quantitative methods from previous taster events on-screen and there will be an opportunity to learn more about our AQMeN research projects, including projects focusing on the Scottish independence referendum. The main event will take the format of six showcase taster sessions which include a general introduction to each technique and provide practical examples of how it has been applied to research and data visualisation can be used in the presentation of results. The following methods will be showcased during this year's event: • Multiple Imputation • Statistical Models for Count Data • Methods of Causal Inference (e.g. Difference-in Differences Estimation, Propensity Score Matching) • Longitudinal Data Analysis • Structural Equation Modelling • Geo-Visualisation During the event, details of the AQMeN 2014 training programme will be launched which will include opportunities for hands-on training in each of the above techniques later in the year. The event will close with a panel session 'Q-Step in Scotland: Building the next generation of quantitative scholars'. The aim is to highlight the ways in which the three Scottish Q-Step Centres will strengthen quantitative social science training and develop a new generation of graduates with the skills needed to evaluate evidence, analyse data, and design and commission research. Key questions that members of the panel will address are: how will Q-Step tackle the current skills gaps amongst University entrants; what methods and techniques will graduates be taught; how social science in Scotland will benefit more generally from this initiative; and what are the implications of Q-Step for future postgraduate and early career training. This event is open to researchers from all over Scotland and the wider UK, providing an opportunity to discuss current issues and advancements with like-minded scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds and institutions.

Results and Impact	According to Mark Twain's much repeated dictum, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics". The 2014 Annual Lecture will grapple with the problem of wilful or unintended misuse and misrepresentation of statistics in the media and in popular understanding. This is nowhere more evident than during political elections and referenda, where data are enthusiastically twisted and distorted by campaigners, leading to myths that can rapidly take on a life of their own. Leading researchers on voting patterns and the statistics of political opinions will speak on the use of data and political myths in the recent Scottish Independence Referendum campaign. The event will be hosted by scientist Dr Emily Grossman who will reflect on the role of statistics and quantitative analysis in society.

Results and Impact	"Organiser : Participation in workshop, seminar, course : The UK has one of the best data infrastructures in the world, and now it is easier to access and use than ever before. However, policy makers, researchers, and even academics are often unaware of the valuable information they can harvest from it, or are unsure of how to go about doing so. At this major showcase event, experts from three of the most important social surveys in that infrastructure: Understanding Society, the Millennium Cohort Study and the Labour Force Survey will take participants through the principal features of each survey database, the kinds of uses that can be made of them, and how they can be accessed online. Particular attention will be paid to the way each of these sources can be used to make comparisons between Scotland and the rest of the UK, or between different regions of Scotland. Each of these major surveys is also longitudinal: meaning that they are excellent sources for looking at change over time."

Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	Regional
Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	Previous research has found associations between maternal employment and child cognitive development. The magnitude of these associations varies by the timing of measurement for mother's employment and cognitive tests as well as the particular country setting. In the present analysis, we investigate the relationship between different cognitive test scores at age five and mothers' complete employment sequence during the first five years after birth, using data on Scottish children and their families from the 'Growing Up In Scotland' study. The focus of prior studies on maternal employment at a particular point in time, neglects a possible cumulative impact on child cognitive skills that is suggested by theory both in case of a positive and a negative relationship. Preliminary results hint at small differences in vocabulary skills between different maternal employment patterns for children who are similar with regard to important background characteristics such as mother's education, household composition, health, and socio-economic context.

Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	Local
Primary Audience	Postgraduate students
Results and Impact	This seminar was presented by Professor Marita Jacob, University of Cologne. Abstract While several recent studies have examined social inequalities in enrolment and graduation rates, previous research did not consider the similarly important variation in students' experiences during higher education, for example their participation in the labour market. In our paper we examine class-specific employment patterns among students. In particular, we extend previous approaches by taking into account different local labour market conditions that affect the quantity and quality of jobs available to students. We hypothesise social differences in employment to be more pronounced in less prosperous regions because there, only those students with low reservation wages work, as they need the money for subsistence. However, regarding job quality, social differences would be more pronounced in crowded labour markets, as students from privileged backgrounds would displace students from the lower classes in high-quality jobs. In our empirical analyses we actually find that students with parents that themselves have not graduated are more likely to work than are students with two highly educated parents, and the jobs they occupy are less related to their field of study. Our results also show that under tighter labour market conditions the disadvantages of students from a lower social backgrounds increase. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

Geographic Reach	Local
Primary Audience	Postgraduate students
Results and Impact	This seminar was presented by Professor Cristina Iannelli, Moray House School of Education, University of Edinburgh and Dr Markus Klein, Department of Education, Community and Society (ECS), University of Edinburgh. Abstract: In this paper we examine the impact of social origin on labour market entry and early working careers of tertiary graduates by comparing Germany and the UK, two distinct countries in terms of higher education systems, labour market structures and their linkages. Given the stronger links between education and the labour market and the higher social selectivity at earlier stages of education in Germany than in the UK we expect parents' influence on graduates' labour market returns to be smaller in Germany than in the UK. Moreover, we expect qualitative differences in higher education (e.g.. field of study or prior attainment) to explain the effects of parental education on graduates' outcomes to a larger extent in the UK than in Germany. Taking qualitative differences into account, the remaining direct effect is expected to be larger in the UK than in Germany. This is because of the lower signalling power of a degree in the UK and employers' difficulties to differentiate between the larger number and less selective graduate population. Overall, our empirical results confirm our expectations. They show that there is a gross difference in labour market outcomes among graduates from different social origins and this difference is larger in the UK than in Germany. Most of the social difference is explained by field of study in both countries, but contrary to expectations more so in Germany than in the UK. While we do not see any net effects of parental education on labour market returns in Germany, after controlling for field of study, a significant net effect of high parental education on accessing top-level positions was found for the UK. Furthermore, we observe country convergence in the extent to which graduates' labour market outcomes are affected by parental education five years after graduation. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	With 100 days left before the vote on whether Scotland should become an independent country on Monday, 9 June, AQMeN hosted an event to present findings from a new survey on the youngest voters in this referendum. The referendum on Scotland's constitutional future in September 2014 which saw 16- and 17-year old voters coming to the polls for the first time at the national level in Scotland. Following on from the AQMeN survey project last year, the team from Edinburgh University's School of Social and Political Science presented updated findings based on a completely new survey conducted in April and May 2014. The survey addressed voters who were be able to participate in the referendum this September but who were under the age of 18 and therefore excluded from other representative surveys on this topic. While some polling institutes included 16- and 17-year olds in their samples, there were too few members of this age group in those polls to allow for any specific in-depth engagement with this age group. The only comprehensive, representative survey of this age to date had been conducted as part of this project illustrating how the newly enfranchised young people suggested they would vote in 2014 and it allowed us to examine what drove their decision making. Using the new data we were able to see whether one year later the campaigns have been able to engage with young people in an effective way and thus changing their views and perceptions. At this event participants heard presentations from the Edinburgh University team members Dr Jan Eichhorn (Social Policy) Prof Lindsay Paterson (Social Policy) Prof John MacInnes (Sociology) Dr Michael Rosie (Sociology) The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

The workshop was designed to be relevant to people who work in government agencies, charities or other public sectors , as well as staff and students from university departments and research centres. The event was intended to be engaging and informative. There were lectures and demonstrations, a number of group activities, as well as worked examples. Participants were encouraged to bring along examples of questions to be addressed through use of flow data, and were helped to design analyses to suit their needs. The workshop was an introductory session. Conceptual ideas relating to analysis of flow data were introduced. The workshop was pointed to support material and networks of users of flow data. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

We have also had-[Interruption.] The Presiding Officer: Order. The First Minister: We are advocating a currency union because we think that it is in the best interests of the people of Scotland. A majority in that survey also believe that that is what will happen after independence, and they are right to believe that, because we know the consequences of the unionist parties attempting to keep all the financial assets of the UK for themselves. If they keep the financial assets, they end up with the liabilities-they end up saddled with the UK's debt.

Geographic Reach	Regional
Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	Prof McVie was quoted in relation to an independent group of experts accusing Labour MSP Anas Sarwar of misrepresenting stop and search data to claim black and Asian people are more likely to be targeted by police. Professor McVie said the Labour press release had not taken account of a number of caveats in the report about drawing reliable conclusions based on population data. She said: "I clearly stated in the report that the search rate for some non-white ethnic groups appeared to be higher than that for white people. However, we advised caution in comparing rates across different ethnic groups for a number of technical reasons. It is not credible to conclude that there is an inflated rate of search for specific minority ethnic groups based on these data." She added: "The claim that search rates for people from black and Asian backgrounds are four times higher than those for white people is wrong and demonstrates a lack of understanding in how to use and interpret this type of information. When looking at black and Asian people combined, the rate of search is 2.8 per 1,000 people - only a fraction higher than the rate for white people at 2.7 per 1,000." Responding to suggestions that positive searches were lower for those coming from minority backgrounds, Professor McVie said the differences could be explained by factors others than race. She said accusations about institutional racism in Scottish policing were "unfair and unsubstantiated" if based solely on her data.

May to Sept 2015 The evidence presented to the Group and the ensuing work resulted in the cessation of non-statutory stop and search and the development of a Code of Practice for all stop and search in Scotland. Recommendation 5, to ensure Police Scotland publishes and makes available on a regular basis, data on stop and search was a direct result of AQMeN input to the Advisory Group.

Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	Local
Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	This one-day event on the Scottish Crime and Justice Survey was divided into two sessions. The morning session was a seminar introducing the survey and the afternoon session was a practical data workshop for those who would like to use the data themselves. Crime surveys in Scotland were introduced in 1981 to provide an alternative measure of victimisation to that provided by police recorded crime data. The Scottish Crime and Justice Survey (and its predecessor the Scottish Crime Survey) is a large-scale national survey of crime victimisation carried out across Scotland. In recent years, it has become one of the Scottish Government's flagship social surveys but it has a limited set of regular users. This event aims to raise awareness and knowledge about the Scottish Crime and Justice Survey (SCJS). This half-day seminar on the SCJS included a detailed introduction to the background, design and methodology of the survey, and why it is important in policy terms. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

Results and Impact	This one-day event on the Scottish Health Survey was divided into two sessions. The morning session was a seminar introducing the survey and the afternoon session a practical data workshop for those who would like to use the data themselves. The Scottish Health Survey (SHeS) provides a detailed picture of the health of the Scottish population. Focusing on private households, it is a key resource for the government in health policy development, in identifying gaps in service provision, and in identifying groups at risk of future ill-health. The first survey took place in 1995, with subsequent surveys in 1998 and 2003, before moving to a continuous model of data collection in 2008. Data are comparable with the Health Survey for England. The seminar session provided an introduction to the survey, its design and methodology, the topics covered and how to access the data, including linkage with other datasets. Presentations demonstrated some of the ways in which the data has been used. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

Primary Audience	Other academic audiences (collaborators, peers etc.)
Results and Impact	Presented by: Professor Vernon Gayle, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Edinburgh Statistical models are increasingly common in social science research. Many researchers whose interests are substantive rather than methodological struggle to understand these techniques and are disinclined to engage with research that employs these approaches. This workshop is designed for researchers who would like to learn about statistical modelling. The event was intended to be engaging and informative and there were a number of group activities, as well as audience participation and practical demonstrations. This workshop was a taster session. Conceptual ideas relating to statistical modelling were introduced at a level that, although technically elementary, showed how statistical ideas can address major social scientific issues. The workshop pointed to training courses (in AQMeN and at other UK universities) where greater depth of technical competence can be acquired. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

Many researchers whose interests are substantive rather than methodological struggle to understand these techniques and are disinclined to engage with research that employs these approaches. This workshop is designed for researchers who would like to learn about statistical modelling. This half day seminar was orientated towards researchers who do not normally use statistical methods but wanted to be introduced to statistical modelling. It was ideal for busy researchers who did not have time to go on longer workshops or courses. It was also a useful refresher course for researchers whose last encounter with statistics was during their undergraduate degree. The event was intended to be engaging and informative and there were a number of group activities, as well as audience participation and practical demonstrations. This workshop was a taster session.

Results and Impact	This wasa two day hands-on training workshop led by Professor Vernon Gayle, University of Edinburgh. Course Content: "A picture paints a thousand words" In Professor Gayle's experience, with the exception of weighting, graphing data is one of the most troublesome aspects of data analysis. This event will be a practical workshop in which participants will learn more about graphs and the graphical presentation of data and results. There will be a wide range of social science examples that demonstrate how to get more from the graphical and presentational features of Stata. The workshop will help participants produce better quality graphs in their research outputs. Currently evaluating long term impact and will update once further information is collected.

Results and Impact	Organiser : Participation in workshop, seminar, course : Growing up in Scotland is a longitudinal research study tracking the lives of thousands of children and their families from the early years, through childhood and beyond. The main aim of the study is to provide new information to support policy-making in Scotland but it is also intended to provide a resource for practitioners, academics, the voluntary sector and parents. It studies two birth cohorts and their parents, with 8 sweeps of the first birth cohort already completed or in the field. This makes good skills in data management and manipulation a prerequisite for using the data effectively, as well as knowledge of how to deal with panel or repeated measures designs in analysis of the data. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.

Form Of Engagement Activity	Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Postgraduate students
Results and Impact	This two-day hands-on workshop was presented by Dr Jonathan Minton, University of Glasgow. Course content: This two-day workshop on data visualisation will equip researchers to be better visual data explorers and communicators. The workshop will be split into four half day sessions, including a short introduction to R. Participants are expected to attend all sessions. Part 1: Effective data visualisation principles This half-day session will focus on the fundamentals of effective data visualisation, demonstrating how a better understanding of the principles and practicalities of data visualisation can help researchers to produce more informative and engaging. The principles introduced at this stage will offer a conceptual road map for better understanding the aims and challenges of data visualisation, and are not software or platform specific. Part 2: An introduction to R This half-day session will introduce researchers to the powerful, flexible, open source statistical programming language R. The range of visualisations which can be produced in R is effectively unlimited. This session will cover the basics required to use R for data management, exploratory data analysis, and data visualisation. The focus will be on helping researchers to become familiar enough with R to be able to comfortably use it in their research, and continue to learn and develop their knowledge of R over the longer term. Part 3: Data visualisation using ggplot2 in R ggplot2 is a data visualisation package for R that combines great flexibility with high aesthetic standards. It is based on the 'grammar of graphics' paradigm developed by Leland Wilkinson, which allows clear and consistent specification of how data are mapped onto images; in short, it provides a precise language for data visualisation. This half-day session will build on the discussion of data visualisation principles introduced in part 1, and the basics of R taught in part 2. The emphasis in this session will be on learning through example, and will contain practical exercises throughout. Part 4: Visual demography and three-dimensional (3D) data mapping This final half-day session will discuss the whys and hows of producing visualisations of complex 3D data. The focus will be on demographic data, where rates and amounts of quantities, such as population size and death rates, vary by both age and year. Conceptually, specific age-year combinations can be thought of as co-ordinates, pinpointing spaces on a virtual surface known as a Lexis surface. Lexis surfaces are just one of the countless forms of complex data relationship which can be visualised using these methods. This session will present visualisations of these Lexis surfaces, including both map-based visualisations, and fully 3D renderings, which can be rotated and explored by users. The key features and insights into demographic processes revealed by these visualisations will be discussed. Finally, the practical issues and methods for creating them will be introduced. Currently evaluating long term impact and will update once further information is collected.

Results and Impact	This two day course was taught by Dr Leslie Humphreys, Lancaster University and was organised jointly by the University and AQMeN. The course started with a summary of the different methods of measuring crime, touching on recent newspaper debates on the relative merits of a survey approach compared to police recording. The rest of the first day comprised of a discussion of various types of study (experimental, and quasi experimental) and methods of analysing such data (matched case-control, case -control and propensity score matching. The second day covered advances in latent class and latent growth curve analysis and latent trajectory modelling for understanding criminal offending. A highlight of this course was its topicality - most of the references and textbooks were published just before the course date. Learning Outcomes: On completion of this course students were able to: Understand and fit a wide variety of latent structure models to criminological data. Understand the various types of research design used in quantitative criminological studies. Carry out a propensity score analysis. Gain state of the art knowledge in the analysis of criminological data, and to be able to carry out such analyses. Understand and criticise a number of recent papers published in the literature. Understand the need for design in evaluation, and the various methods used in such evaluation. The impact of all our events is currently being evaluated.
