Ranging from descriptive results to in-depth research analysis, the SOM Institute publish a vast array of different publications each year. This page contains links to the reports, presentations and books available in English.
The systematic surveys conducted by the SOM Institute are unique in that they provide such long time series of data. Collection of data over a long period of time enables researchers to both observe changes in opinions and behavior and to study individual years in depth. Such analyses are available in the publications of the SOM Institute.
The annual report Swedish Trends provides a great overview of some of the most important trends and time series from the SOM surveys. Other reports made available in English are presented below.
