5. Table of Origins (Sorted by Reference Number)

 

This table shows the origins of data and thereby enables statements to be linked to the groups that made them. In some cases, to preserve anonymity where appropriate, minimal group descriptions are given. In most cases group descriptions are in the group’s own words.

 

This table can be copied into MS Word and further sorted for the purposes of further research.

Ref = Group response form reference number

No. is stated number of group participants (but sometimes total group size - see discussion in statistics section.

G = gender (male - m) or (female -f).

O = other characteristics (disabled - d), (ethnic minority - e), (older people - o), young and youth groups - y).
