The adult survey was launched in mid-July 2005, with the child survey introduced in January 2006.<br> <br> The survey is commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in partnership with its non-departmental public bodies (Sport England, Arts Council England, English Heritage, and Museums, Libraries and Archives Council).<br> <br> The aim of the survey is to improve the current knowledge base of engagement and non-engagement in culture, leisure and sport by gathering quality-assured data on participation, attendance, attitudes and related factors across the many sectors covered by the DCMS, for example, arts, sports, museums, broadcasting, libraries, gambling and volunteering.<br> <br> Further information can be found on the DCMS <a href="http://www.culture.gov.uk/what_we_do/research_and_statistics/4828.aspx" title ="Taking Part">Taking Part</a> web pages.<br><i>Taking Part, 2005-2006</i>, also known as Year 1 of the continuous survey, includes 28,117 interviews conducted with adults (aged 16 or over) and 2,918 interviews conducted with children (aged 11-15).<br> <br> The survey used face-to-face computer assisted personal interviews, which take 45 minutes, on average, to complete. The sample for this survey has been randomly selected from the small-users postcode address file and only those from private households in England are included. No geographical restrictions are placed on the location of the engagement, although it must have been for the purpose of recreation or leisure, including voluntary work. Taking Part excludes involvement in sectors where the prime motivation is paid work or academic study. The exceptions to this are attendance at historic environment sites which included visits made for academic study and sports opportunities which excludes refereeing, officiating and coaching.<br> <br> For the second edition (September 2010), the child data and documentation were added to the study. In addition, the adult documentation has been updated and five variables have been removed from the adult data: area, key, stratum, pafsoc and addissue.<br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>Main topics covered by the survey include: the arts, museums and galleries, libraries, archives, heritage, sport, social capital, engagement in various sectors whilst growing up, volunteering, broadcasting, gambling, the Olympics, licensing laws, and demographics.<br> <br> In order to preserve confidentiality, variables relating to census output area, postcode sector, local authority, and primary sampling units have been removed from the UK Data Archive version.</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> Adult survey: July 2005 - October 2006 Child survey: January 2006 - April 2007 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Government Office Regions (GORs) <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Adults (16 or over) living in a representative cross-section of private households in England children aged 11-15 at selected households since January 2006 </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Repeated cross-sectional study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> Multi-stage stratified random sample<br> See documentation for details <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> 28,117 adults; 2,918 children <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Face-to-face interview <br><i class='myclass'>Weighting: </i> Weighting used.
