​The Jersey Annual Social Survey (JASS) provides the means to collect and analyse detailed information on a wide range of social issues on an annual basis. It provides official social statistics about Jersey, allowing everyone in the Island to have a better understanding of social issues and for policy to be made from a more informed standpoint.

Topics covered in the 2009 survey include:

• demographics
• early years, childcare and young people
• careers, culture and sports (Careers Jersey, Jersey library, sports participation)
• health and lifestyle (smoking, mental health, housing standards, walking, cycling, breast-feeding)
• States of Jersey police (priorities, performance, neighbourhood safety and concerns about crime)
• anti-social behaviour
• Jersey-France ferry route
• moving house
• travel and public services (buying a new car, reducing car use, town parking facilities, public service ratings)
• pensions
• work-related accidents and ill health
• primary healthcare (GP visits, prescriptions, pharmacist advice, other health professionals)
