Licence and permissions The LMUP is an open-access measure that is under copyright. This means that it is free to use (no money to pay), there is no licence agreement, and no registration is required. In order to maintain copyright, however, the LMUP must be used as published, i.e. use all the questions, in the same order, with the same wording as the published version. It is possible to make some small changes to the LMUP but these require permission of the copyright holder. It is important to ensure that the LMUP used is valid When publishing a study that includes LMUP data, please cite the main paper of the development and evaluation study (Barrett et al. 2004) and any other appropriate methodological LMUP papers.
Other evaluated versions of the LMUP
Translations under evaluation and/or unpublished
Modes of administration Some of the above translations have also changed mode of administration, usually because of levels of literacy in the target population. One study, the Contessa Study in the UK, has carried out a telephone interviewer-administered (or CATI) version of the LMUP. This version of the LMUP has not been evaluated. Further information can be found in NatCen’s technical report from page 50 (Contessa Technical Report) |
