 +=== Obtaining the standard social class variables === 
 + 
 +You can obtain a list of the standard topic variables to use in an NSHD data sharing request by selecting the link at the end of this page. 
 +The XML version of the link can be sent to the LHA as part of a data sharing request. 
 +Simply use your browser's //Save As// facility to save the list of variables to a file on your computer. 
 +You can then [[mrclha.swiftinfo@ucl.ac.uk|email]] the XML version to us in support of your application, or when you fill in the [[nshd:forms|data access application form]] and it asks which variables you need, mention the 'social class standard basket'
 + 
 +\\  
 +**Please Note** that if you are using 'overall social class' as a covariate, the generally-used variables are **//SC1553//** (adult) and **//CHSC//** (child) - however these may not be the best variables for your project, be sure to investigate the social class variables further on [[skylark:skylark|Skylark]] before using them.
