title: Survey of Secondary School Students, 2004 [Canada]

description: &lt;p&gt;The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation (the Foundation) undertook a survey of secondary school students across five provinces focusing on their post-secondary school expectations. This research involved the in-class administration of a survey to Grade 6 to 12 students in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. This study was conducted by two independent research companies under contract to the Foundation: Prairie Research Associates (PRA) Inc.
and R.A. Malatest and Associates Ltd. The in-class survey instrument was designed to collect information about how secondary school students view education, what they know about the various forms of funding available for post-secondary education and how students envision paying for their future education. The survey administered to Grade 6 to 8 students gathered approximately 65 pieces of information, while the one given to Grade 9 to 12 students collected about 110 pieces of information. To ensure consistent administration of the in class survey for each student sample, a Survey Administration Guide was developed to recommend procedures to be followed.
&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This dataset was received from the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation as is. Issues with value labels and missing values were discovered and corrected as best as possible with the documentation received. The variable &lt;em&gt;-gasst: "Do you receive any government assistance?"-&lt;/em&gt; was not corrected due to lack of documentation about this variable. Some caution should be used with this dataset.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Research Data Management Faculty Survey Report, University of Waterloo

description: This survey was conducted in order to become better prepared to support research data management (RDM) practices at the University of Waterloo in the Faculties of Engineering and Science. All ranks of faculty and post-doctoral fellows were included. This survey replicates the survey created and conducted at the University of Toronto. The goals were to: • determine how University of Waterloo engineering and science faculty and post-doctoral fellows manage and share research data beyond their project • determine how University of Waterloo Library might help to facilitate data management activities and thereby help support our researchers • understand some of the differences in research data management practices and needs across disciplines The results of this survey will also help the library support University Policy 73, Intellectual Property Rights, Section 9, Data Management which is “…concerned with the ownership of, and right to use, original data collected or measured in the course of teaching and research activities involving one or more members of the University.” A Principle noted in Section 9 states that “Members of the University have the obligation to protect and preserve, for a reasonable period of time (defined by the norms of the discipline), and to make available to other scholars and non-commercial users, the data on which their work is based.”

title: The Quinte longitudinal study of gambling and problem gambling 2006-2011, Bay of Quinte region, Ontario [Canada]

description: &lt;p&gt;The Quinte longitudinal study (QLS) followed a cohort of 4,121 adults living in the Quinte region in southwestern Ontario, Canada for a period of 5 years (2006 to 2011). More specifically, the cohort consisted of people residing within 70 kilometres of the city of Belleville, Ontario. This particular region was chosen as one of the original purposes of the study was to assess the social and economic impact of a new horse race track with slot machines planned for the Quinte region. However, t
he planned venue was not built so the study’s exclusive focus became the natural course and etiology of gambling and problem gambling. As part of this investigation, the QLS also investigated the normal patterns of continuity and discontinuity in gambling and problem gambling.
&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The study consists of 1) a Response data set containing all the main QLS variables collected from participant questionnaires and 2) a Process data set that contains variables relevant to the activities and procedures of the research process which were used to assess participant retention rates (e.g. data related to participant-staff interactions and participant activity throughout the 5-year assessment period). An ID variable common to both the Response and Process data sets allows thes
e files to be linked, if needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;User manuals and codebooks explaining the data set contents are also provided.&lt;/p&gt;

title: The Canadian Problem Gambling Index 2000 [Canada]: Canadian National Validation Survey

description: &lt;p&gt;The development of the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) was the result of a collaborative, three-year project entitled Measuring Problem Gambling in Canada. This project was conducted in two phases. The first phase (Phase I) involved the creation of an operational definition of problem gambling and the designing of an instrument for measuring problem gambling in the general population. The second phase (Phase II) involved testing the validity and reliability of the new instrument in a Canada-wide gambling prevalence study.&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;p&gt;The dataset presented here is the result of Phase II testing. The final survey questionnaire, the CPGI, was administered to a random sample of 3,120 adults selected from the ten Canadian provinces. This large, general population survey was conducted for three reasons. First, the large sample size allowed for fine-tuning the new instrument in terms of selecting items to be included and/or discarded in future iterations. Second, the survey provided a basis for comparison of the new instrument scored items with those from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) and South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) measures. Finally, the survey provided gambling and problem gambling prevalence information for Canada and for individual Canadian provinces, and these data can be used as a benchmark for subsequent national or provincial studies.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Seniors' gambling in Ontario: An assessment of gambling and problem gambling among older adults who patronize Ontario casinos

description: &lt;p&gt;The research examined gambling behaviour, gambling problems, gambling attitudes, and expectations of the impact of an increased number of casinos in a sample of Ontario seniors who gamble at casinos. This study was conducted to address three goals:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) To develop better understanding of the role of gambling in the lives of seniors who patronize Ontario casinos;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;2) To develop better understanding of the prevalence of problem gambling among seniors who patronize Ontario casinos; and&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;3) To explore possible impacts of new Ontario casinos on the lives of seniors who patronize Ontario casinos.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Data was collected through exit surveys employing cluster sampling methods to obtain a random sample of 2,103 Ontario seniors gambling at seven sites across the province: Woodbine Racetrack (n=303), Mohawk Racetrack (n=300), Flamboro Downs (n=300), Brantford Casino (n=300), Woodstock Raceway (n=300), Slots at Western Fair (n=300), and Georgian Downs (n=300). Seniors exiting these sites were randomly selected to be invited to participate in the exit interview, which required about 15-20 minutes of their time. Participants provided information about their own gambling behaviour and gambling-related problems, attitudes toward gambling, gambling and gambling problems in their community, and their assessment of the impact of new casinos.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Data were collected between July and September, 2013.&lt;/p&gt;

title: British Columbia problem gambling prevalence study 2002 [Canada]

description: &lt;p&gt;The main purpose of the 2002 survey was to provide information about the impacts of problem gambling in British Columbia (BC) to assist the Province in its efforts to help individuals and groups affected by this disorder. Specifically, this research is designed to provide the Province with the following information:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) prevalence and nature of gambling and problem gambling within the adult population of British Columbia,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) demographic characteristics of non-gamblers and gambler subtypes,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) gambling activities of the subtypes,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) problem gambling behaviour and consequences for gambler subtypes,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5) comparisons with research findings from the 1993 and 1996 prevalence studies conducted in BC,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6) comparisons with research findings from studies conducted in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7) comparisons with research findings from the national Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) validation study, and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8) conclusions, implications and recommendations that may assist the Problem Gambling Program, Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, BC Lottery Corporation and the Government of British Columbia in developing policies and programs to address the problems associated with excessive gambling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the CPGI baseline study of the prevalence of gambling and problem gambling in British Columbia (N=2,500).&lt;/p&gt;

title: Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) prevalence studies [Canada]: Consolidated dataset

description: &lt;p&gt;The Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) originated in 2000 as a Canadian interprovincial research initiative to develop and validate a new measure to identify problem gamblers in population health surveys.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Since the CPGI was introduced, all Canadian provinces and many jurisdictions in other countries have relied on this measure to estimate the prevalence of problem gambling in general and special populations. In 2007, the OPGRC carried out the process of soliciting researchers for data that were collected using the CPGI instrument in order to compile and harmonize data into one large dataset.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;This is a cross-national and cross sectional dataset (n=21,374) compiled from seven major prevalence studies of Canadian adults (18 or older) residing in the Canadian provinces. It includes 2191 variables with information on gambling activities, gambling behaviours, adverse consequences related to gambling, and problem gambling correlates. Selected variables were harmonized to facilitate cross national comparisons. Included in this concatenated dataset are the following individual problem gambling prevalence studies: National Validation Study 2001, Alberta 2002, British Columbia 2003, Manitoba 2002, Ontario 2001, Ontario 2005, and Newfoundland and Labrador 2005. Please see the Data Source section below for the citations and direct links to the individual datasets comprising this consolidated dataset.&lt;/p&gt;
description: This metadata relates exclusively to the OPGRC project to consolidate CPGI prevalence data from existing data sources. 
The following individuals and primary investigators deserve recognition for being instrumental in the release of this consolidated dataset: Ipsos-Reid, Gemini Research, Jackie Ferris, Harold Wynne, Garry Smith, David Patton, David Brown, Jaste Dhaliwal, Curt Pankratz, Brian Broszeit, Jamie Wiebe, Eric Single, Agata Falkowski-Ham, Phil Mun, Nadine Kaufman, Carolyn O’Keefe, and Heather Legg. 
It is also important to highlight the main funding sources for each of the contributing datasets used to create this consolidated dataset: Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General (British Columbia), Alberta Gaming Research Institute, Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, Responsible Gambling Council, and the Department of Health and Community Services (Newfoundland and Labrador).

title: Baseline study: Assessing the impact of the introduction of new casinos in Ontario 2014, Belleville, Kenora, London, North Bay, Collingwood/Wasaga Beach, Ontario [Canada]

description: &lt;p&gt;In response to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) announcement of plans to introduce new and enhanced gaming sites, the Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre (OPGRC) commissioned the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) to conduct a baseline study of gambling attitudes, motivations and behaviours, so that the impact of gambling expansion can be measured at a later date.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A telephone survey was conducted with a sample of 2,300 adults from four Ontario communities in which OLG plans to introduce a new casino: Belleville, Simcoe County (Collingwood and Wasaga Beach), North Bay, and Kenora. A fifth site, London, was added as a control because it currently hosts a slots venue.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The present research will help determine the impact of a new casino in select Ontario locations by providing:&lt;p&gt;• An estimate of attitudes, motivations, and behaviours related to participation in casino-gambling prior to the opening of a casino;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• A baseline for future longitudinal research that would examine the impact of increased gambling accessibility; and,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• A database that would be used in assessing the impact of gambling expansion in Ontario.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: Studying the interaction of crop management practices and weather and the subsequent effect on nitrous oxide emissions, 2000-2005 [Canada]: Soil data
title: Soil data

description: This project involves the measurement of nitrous oxide fluxes from agricultural sources focussing on the interaction of crop management practices and weather and the subsequent effect on nitrous oxide emissions. The objective of this study were (1) to evaluate the magnitude of nitrous oxide emissions reduction due to best management practices in comparison to conventional management practices and (2) to study the seasonal variability in reduction of emissions due to the interaction between management and weather. This dataset is part of a long-term assessment measuring nitrous oxide emissions over a five year period (2000-2005). The data was collected within four experimental plots located at the Elora Research Station in Southern Ontario, Canada. Experimental plots consisted of two management systems: conventional practice (plots 1 and 4) and best management practice (plots 2 and 3). Data collected consists of meteorological data including vector data, crop height, crop yield measurements, plant matter and soil mineral nitrogen accumulations, nitrous oxide flux, soil bulk density, soil moisture content, soil temperature, as well as auxillary data including plot description/history information and instrument placement (i.e. placement and height). This study includes only the soil data collected between 2000 and 2005 and consists of original measurements and analyzed data for bulk density calculations, microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen measurements, mass spectrometry data, and soil nitrogen measurements.
