2021 Debt Need Survey Technical Report

Published on:

16 May 2022

This report covers the approach that MaPS took to its 2021 Debt Need Survey, working with research agency Alligator.  The report goes into detail on how we executed each aspect of the project from questionnaire development, interviewing and data processing.

Insights from the survey were used to produce a blog on who needs debt advice in 2022.

More details on our new Need For Debt Advice measure can be found in this explainerOpens in a new window.
