Abstract
The Understanding Society plans for Waves 13-15 included a general population boost at Wave 13. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lock-down had halted face-to-face research during 2020 and 2021. We took the opportunity of this delay to conduct a review of the design of the boost to include the latest research and best practice in recruiting a new sample. This report describes the development and pilot work undertaken and outlines the final design of the wave 14 general population boost sample and the changes that were made after the first year of fieldwork.
