A-level geography coursework questionaire

[Mia____]

Hi, i'm a year 13 student doing my A-level geography coursework on deprivation and diseases in different areas.
All the data collected from this questionnaire will be used for my coursework and will be anonymous.

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

You might get a bigger response Mia, if you ask people to please complete the questionnaire.

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 😥

The questionnaire doesn't seem to bear much relationship to the geography that I was taught. It speaks volumes about the failure of our education system in terms of its priorities and orientation.
