Unless you have been told not to, I would suggest sex and ethnicity may also be worth collecting for this survey for analysis - health and deprivation issues may be linked to these variables, and at least collecting them will allow you to analyse this. As might household income (in bands). Age and housing, which you have chosen,  are both good variables however. 

Unless you are using other data collection methods you should note that this is a self selecting (not random) sample, and that it will be skewed potentially as it is drawn from what may be a self-limiting population (those registered on this board). Which will include those not living locally in SE London. 

Properly speaking, in order to have any significance, you will probably need populations of 100+ in each analysis 'box'. So, if breaking down by sex, a sample of 200 (100 men and 100 women) - but if breaking down by your 5 age groups a sample of 500. However, even if you don't achieve that, your research design is important and acknowledging that particular sets of analysis may have too small a sample size to be significant shows that you understand the limitations of what you are doing.

I wish you luck

I just started doing the questionnaire, but I can't work out how to select my ethnicity.

I'm White.

Are you assuming that English, Scottish etc  people  are White?

Because unless I've missed it, there is no category for or mention of White except "any other White background".

But somebody born in England etc could be of Indian origin, for example, but still be English or Scottish,  so what would they put? Can you select more than one category?

It doesn't feel right to me, sorry. Where did you get the categories from? Had you considered using the ones used in the census, for example?

I didn't feel I could continue with it 😥

    • For clarity,  since the heat seems to be getting to people - my friends in Hampshire, Essex, Cornwall tell me that the same insanity is happening there - probably in other counties to! I have in the past seen adults walking last year with  young children with no hat or to the best of my knowledge suns-cream on and idiots in Dulwich Park allowing their children or who knows maybe it is the au pair or nanny taking the kids to the park when it is over 30 degrees.. I rest my case - doesn’t matter if you have 4 feet or 2 - 4 feet suffer more as generally have a coat and no protection on their feet / 2 feet at least have foot protection. Like I said, I am just joining  the conversation - everyone has a right to their own opinion.
    • I don't think it's just dog-owners who are half-wits. An actual human has taken a dump in a newspaper and left it lying on CP Road. Flies are having a field day. I ought to tell the council but pity the poor person sent to clean it up. 
    • In the proud spirit of stating the bleeding obvious (!) here is some more RSPCA advice re dogs in hot cars and a downloadable leaflet which contains emergency first aid for heatstroke: https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/dogsinhotcars https://www.rspca.org.uk/documents/1494939/7712578/Dogs In Hot Cars Leaflet.pdf/ade4c043-90ee-7091-c97f-02f047f7b4b3
    • What exactly is the point of having a go at someone who is trying to help and spread useful information? Is the heat getting to people? What does it matter what someone calls dogs?
