The Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey collects information on the behaviours and opinions of Islanders. The results allow everyone in the Island to have a better understanding of social issues, and help in government decision-making.

This survey was formerly known as the Jersey Annual Social Survey, which has been run since 2005 and was renamed in 2016.

Survey topics for 2017 included views on:

• coping financially
• health (including smoking, weight and mental health)
• organ donation
• wellbeing (including breastfeeding, personal wellbeing and work-life balance)
• living in Jersey
• voting
• recycling
• internet and communication

The survey was run independently by the Statistics Unit, with individual States departments requesting specific topic areas to be included.
