IST Monitor

The IST Monitor is a quarterly study overseen by the Ipsos MORI International Social Trends Unit, which tracks political and social attitudes in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the US.

Each wave provides insight and commentary on national priorities over time, analyses the population's optimism, and provides an invaluable summary of how Britain compares to other key nations.

Building on our bank of data since 1997, we will be tracking progress of the core topic areas outlined in the report "A New British Model?" over time, as well as investigating new topical and relevant issues in each wave in collaboration with our key associates. Each subscriber to the study will receive a number of outputs and benefits including:

• A private, tailored briefing session from one of our most senior colleagues, such as Sir Robert Worcester or Ben Page. This will draw in other data from across our work and look deeper into the issues raised by the Monitor, and how they relate to your organisation and interests;
• A full written report, drawing out trends and key conclusions and implications. This will include insight into the reasons from international differences, drawing on the expertise in the Ipsos network in each of the countries studied;
• The full data in a flexible and user-friendly analysis tool called Dataspeed. This allows you to run your own particular trend and sub-group analysis and produces a range of accessible charts and tables.

We look forward to developing this tool with our partners. If you are interested in finding out how the IST Monitor can shed light on your organisation's key issues, or would like more information on subscriptions, please contact Bobby Duffy or Rea Robey on 020 7347 3000.
