View All Social Standards

This page shows Social Standards and Concepts, Sources & Methods that are used in social surveys. The 'status' of a standard indicates whether it is in use. 'Preferred' indicates that it is the current and supported version; 'superseded' indicates it has been replaced by a more recent version; and 'deceased' indicates it is no longer supported or maintained.
