The Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (OPN) is a monthly survey conducted by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the United Kingdom. The OPN is designed to collect information on a wide range of topics, including public attitudes, behaviours, and lifestyle factors. It covers various social and economic themes, providing valuable insights into the well-being and opinions of the UK population. Some of the questions vary month-to-month to explore specific themes of interest. Data has previously been collected on attitudes to climate change.
