The most frequent reason chosen for not consenting was “too personal, shared enough information” – especially if they were asked for consent at the end of the survey. This finding points to some form of fatigue, as does the effect of the placement of the consent request we find.
We find that order of the requests does not make much difference to whether or not respondents consent, but making the requests early in the survey significantly increases consent rates compared to asking them after a series of content-related questions or later in the survey.

Using UKHLS to measure levels of persistent poverty.
Between 2017 and 2021, 12% of people in Scotland were in persistent poverty after housing costs.
The rates were highest for children (18%) and lower for working-age adults (10%) and pensioners (10%).

Paul Fisher does a great job summarising our recent paper in this 10 minute podcast https://twitter.com/usociety/status/1635605821273907201
I really enjoyed this book and would 100% recommend to anyone who is interested in cinema, Hollywood, the silent era, culture and society in the 1920s... It's full of enthralling vignettes of life in the early decades of the 20th century.
