title: Constituency Campaigning in the 2010 General Election
title: Consituency Campaigning in General Elections, 1992-

description: Over the last decade, there has been a renewal of interest in, and revaluation of, the effects of local constituency campaigning on the part of both academics and political parties. From the 1950s to the 1980s, as campaigning became more 'nationalised' - dominated by party leaders and focused almost exclusively on the national mass media - local constituency campaigns came to be seen as rather meaningless side-shows. During the 1980s, however, a significant 'revisionist' literature appeared, suggesting that effective and intense constituency campaigning could have a significant impact in terms of improved electoral performance by the parties and, partly as a consequence of this, the parties themselves have recently placed much more emphasis on local campaigning.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Five studies have been conducted in this series so far, of which four are currently available from the UK Data Archive. These cover the 1992 election (held under SN 3587), the 1997 election (SN 3922), 2001 election (SN 4508) and the 2010 election (SN 6830). A study was conducted in 2005, but the Archive does not hold the 2005 data.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 This study, the fourth in the series, builds upon previous campaign studies and examines constituency campaigning at the 2010 British General Election. It provides not only a continuation of a valuable time series, but also a programme of innovation that furthers our understanding of the role, impact and nature of campaigns in the modern political arena. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The study is designed to provide an empirically based account of the style and intensity of constituency campaigning in the election; investigate the role of the parties' central organisations in planning and managing constituency campaigns; analyse the extent to which constituency campaigns involve party members as well as party supporters; and investigate the electoral effects of constituency campaigning in a new electoral context. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The core of the study is a large questionnaire survey of the election agents of the three major parties and two national parties in all constituencies in Britain save that of the Speaker. The survey includes key questions from previous studies as well as new questions reflecting both changes in campaigning (such as the development of e-campaigning) and innovations in the study such as the measurement of party supporter activity and further measures on long-term campaigning.&lt;br&gt;

title: Transforming Livelihoods: Work, Migration and Poverty in the Tiruppur Garment Cluster, India, 2008-2009

description: This research used an interdisciplinary approach to critically examine changing livelihood strategies of both rural and urban populations that are increasingly dependent on, or affected by, export industries. While studies tend to focus on working conditions inside factories, little is known about the changing livelihoods of those employed in booming export industries or about the wider impacts of these industries on rural populations. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The research had three primary aims:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;to enhance our understanding of the impacts of industrial expansion on urban and rural households in developing countries&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to improve our understanding of persistent poverty and 'poverty traps' in areas of rapid economic growth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;to inform policy interventions by the state, multinational corporations and international NGOs that aim to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Field-based research was conducted in and around Tiruppur, a major garment manufacturing and export town in Tamil Nadu, South India. The data available from the UK Data Archive includes the quantitative responses to questionnaire surveys conducted with workers and villagers. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information is available from the &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-167-25-0296/read/" title="Transforming livelihoods: work, migration and poverty in the Tiruppur garment cluster, India"&gt;Transforming livelihoods: work, migration and poverty in the Tiruppur garment cluster, India&lt;/a&gt; ESRC Award webpage and the &lt;a href="http://www.dfid.gov.uk/r4d/searchresearchdatabase.asp?ProjectID=60620" title ="Department for International Development"&gt;Department for International Development&lt;/a&gt; project webpage.&lt;br&gt;

title: What Do the Public Want from Libraries, 2010

description: This is a mixed methods data collection.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The main purpose of the research was to understand what users and non-users of public libraries want from the service. Although detailed data exist on the level and frequency of public library use across the population, there was less information on how people regard the quality of service, and on their reasons for using or not using public libraries.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; If the library service is to retain existing users and encourage new visitors, it is vital to understand the expectations and experiences of the public, irrespective of whether people currently use public libraries or not. The study aimed to provide an up-to-date picture of what the public wants and values in library services, and help leaders to make decisions about the future development of the service.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The data were collected in two different phases:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Qualitative: This consisted of a series of focus groups across England with a diverse range of people who had differing attitudes to public libraries. These groups examined all aspects of people's relationships with local public libraries and crucially allowed the researchers to explore many issues not covered satisfactorily by existing data.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Quantitative: This took the form of a telephone survey with a representative sample of the adult population of England. This phase's principal focus was to corroborate the findings from the qualitative phase and identify further reasons behind usage or not of libraries and the factors that would encourage people to visit libraries more often.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information is available on the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council's (MLA) &lt;a href="http://research.mla.gov.uk/" title="MLA Research Evidence Resources"&gt;Research Evidence Resources&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;br&gt;

title: Digital Audiences: Engagement with Arts and Culture Online, 2010
title: Digital Participation

description: Digital media technologies are affecting every aspect of our society, economy and culture. Arts and cultural organisations can now connect with the public in new ways, bringing them into a closer relationship with culture and creating new ways for them to take part. A key aim of the research was to generate insights into how can arts and cultural organisations use digital technology to deepen existing relationships with their audiences. The research looked at whether it was possible to identify distinct groupings or segments of people in terms of their attitudes towards digital technology and towards arts and culture, and considers the implications of differing audience needs.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Previous research by the Arts Council England looked at this gap by exploring qualitatively how the public perceives and interacts with the arts in the digital space. &lt;i&gt;Digital Audiences: Engagement with Arts and Culture Online, 2010&lt;/i&gt; builds on that work, conducting a quantitative survey of 2,000 people, to explore and quantify people’s engagement with (and attitudes towards) digital technology, their engagement with (and attitudes towards) arts and culture and, crucially, the overlap between the two. The research also built on previous research which analysed the online presences of the organisations receiving regular funding from Arts Council England, by providing insight into the extent to which publicly funded arts and cultural organisations were meeting the expectations of the online audience. The study also included a qualitative element but these data are not currently available from the UK Data Archive.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the study can be found on the Arts Council England &lt;a href="http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/about-us/research/digital-opportunities/" title="Digital Opportunities"&gt;Digital Opportunities&lt;/a&gt; web page and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council &lt;a href="http://research.mla.gov.uk/" title="Research Evidence Resources"&gt;Research Evidence Resources&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;br&gt;

title: British Gambling Prevalence Survey, 2010
title: British Gambling Prevalence Surveys, 1999-
title: BGPS

description: The &lt;i&gt;British Gambling Prevalence Survey&lt;/i&gt; is a large-scale nationally representative survey of participation in gambling and the prevalence of problem gambling in Great Britain.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The aims of the survey series are:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;measure the prevalence of participation in all forms of commercial and private gambling (including estimates of expenditure and information on venue)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;estimate the prevalence of ‘problem gambling’ and look at which activities have the highest prevalence of ‘problem gamblers’ &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;investigate the socio-demographic factors associated with gambling and with ‘problem gambling’&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;assess attitudes towards gambling&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Further information about the series can be found on the Gambling Commission's &lt;a href="http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/research__consultations/research/bgps.aspx" title ="British Gambling Prevalence Surveys"&gt;&lt;i&gt;British Gambling Prevalence Surveys&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; web pages.&lt;br&gt;
 The &lt;i&gt;British Gambling Prevalence Survey, 2010&lt;/i&gt; is the third survey in the series. The aims of the survey were to provide data on participation in all forms of gambling in Great Britain, the prevalence of problem gambling, attitudes to gambling and to explore a range of associations with gambling behaviour. The 2010 study is the first in the series to be conducted after the full implementation of the Gambling Act 2005. Therefore, a further objective was to, where possible, provide some comparisons pre and post implementation of the Gambling Act 2005.&lt;br&gt;

title: Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey, 2010
title: Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey, 1998-
title: NILT

description: &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey&lt;/em&gt; (NILT) series began in 1998, and was the successor to the previous Northern Ireland Social Attitudes series, which was discontinued in 1996.&lt;br&gt;The main aims of the NILT series are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to facilitate academic social policy analysis;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;to provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;NILT originally had a companion series which also began in 1998, the &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Young Life and Times Survey&lt;/a&gt; (YLT), although the YLT methodology changed in 2003 and it is conducted separately each year. The &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;Kids' Life and Times&lt;/a&gt; (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) is also part of the same suite of surveys as YLT and NILT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NILT also forms part of the &lt;a title="International Social Survey Programme" href="http://www.issp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;International Social Survey Programme&lt;/a&gt; (ISSP), although it does not do so every year. Unfortunately, NILT did not run in 2011 due to funding issues, though YLT ran as normal that year; NILT resumed in 2012 (SN 7408). In addition, several &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data"&gt;open access teaching datasets&lt;/a&gt; were created by ARK (Access Research Knowledge) from various years of NILT, covering different topics such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues, politics and community relations, attitudes to ageing and ageism, and dementia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;



&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further information about the series may be found on the ARK &lt;a title="NILT" href="http://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;NILT&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Children's Services Mapping Data, 2006-2009

description: The Children's Services Mapping project was an online data collection and reporting system that aimed to provide information about services for children and young people in England. The mapping of children's services was originally developed in 2002 to provide a description of specialist child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) in England and since then the annual exercise has successfully tracked change in service provision to support the measurement of performance and to help drive forward improvements in CAMHS investment, staffing and activity. In 2005, the mapping system was extended to cover dedicated child health and maternity services and in 2007 the first joint report of the mapping exercise was published which was structured around the 11 standards of the children’s National Service Framework. The UK Data Archive holds data from 2006-2009. The purpose of the mapping system was to:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;support Children's Trust partners in developing joint commissioning strategies&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;support joint service planning, development and provision&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;assist in the bid for resources&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;act as a source of data for national, regional and local performance monitoring&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide annual updates for the development and maintenance of local service directories&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Further information and links to publications may be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.childrensmapping.org.uk" title="Children's Services Mapping"&gt;Children's Services Mapping&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Taking Part: the National Surveys of Culture, Leisure and Sport, 2005-
title: Taking Part Year 6

description: The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Taking Part&lt;/span&gt; survey collects data on many aspects of leisure, culture and sport in England, as well as an in-depth range of socio-demographic information on respondents. The survey is commissioned by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in partnership with three of its non-departmental public bodies (Sport England, Arts Council England and English Heritage). The survey was first commissioned in 2005 as a face-to-face household survey of adults (16+) in England. Since then it has run annually and has also been developed to include further elements, including a child element and a longitudinal element.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Further information can be found on the Gov.uk &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/taking-part" title="Taking Part" target="_blank"&gt;Taking Part&lt;/a&gt; web pages.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 For &lt;i&gt;Taking Part, 2010-2011&lt;/i&gt;, also known as Year 6 of the continuous survey, 14,002 adults and 1,116 children aged 11-15 were interviewed. Information was also collected from parents or guardians of 1,590 children aged 5-10. Interviews were conducted face-to-face in home by specially trained interviewers working on behalf of TNS-BMRB using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Different questionnaires were used for fieldwork conducted in Quarters 1-3 to Quarter 4 of the 2010-2011 survey. In Quarter 4, new questions on charitable giving and competitive sport were added to the questionnaire to reflect the new Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) policy priorities. To make space for these new questions, several questions from the barriers section and all attitudinal questions that had been added at the start of 2010-2011, were removed. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
A Special Licence (SL) access version of this study is held under SN 7345, which contains additional detailed geographic variables (Local Authorities; ACORN Group; ACORN Category; ONS Urban Rural Classification). Users are advised to first obtain the standard EUL version (this study, SN 6855) to see if they are sufficient for their research requirements, as the SL data have more restrictive access conditions.&lt;br&gt;

description: The &lt;i&gt;Small Business Survey&lt;/i&gt; (SBS) is a large scale telephone survey commissioned by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) as a follow up to the &lt;i&gt;Annual Survey of Small Businesses&lt;/i&gt; 2007/8. The main aims of the first SBS survey in 2010 were to:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;monitor key enterprise indicators (e.g. employment, turnover, finance, business growth) and how these have changed in comparison to previous surveys. In particular the survey measures characteristics of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) such as the proportions which are women and minority-ethnic led, and the proportions applying for and obtaining external finance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;gauge SME intentions, needs, concerns and the obstacles to fulfilling their potential&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;provide evidence for possible Government interventions to assist SMEs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;create a database which can be used for follow-up studies among the general SME population, or sub-groups within it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The main aims of the next survey in 2012 were to:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;monitor key enterprise indicators and how these have changed in comparison to previous surveys, the 2010 SBS in particular&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;create a database that can be used for follow-up studies among the general SME population, and sub-groups within it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;From 2015, the survey methodology has changed to include a longitudinal tracking element. The &lt;I&gt;Longitudinal Small Business Survey: Secure Access&lt;/I&gt; is available under SN 8261.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;I&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The second edition (August 2014) includes data from 2012.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Qualitative Election Study of Britain, 2010-
title: QESB

description: &lt;p&gt;This is a mixed methods data collection. The Qualitative Election Study of Britain, 2010 (QESB) recorded the views and concerns of Britons before and after the 2010 General Election. By conducting 14 focus groups with people in England, Scotland and Wales the project investigated, qualitatively, pre- and post-election views. The aim was to generate data that: 1) provided insights into the views and perceptions of citizens on politicians, party leaders, and political issues (e.g. civic duty, political alienation, political activism) before and after the general election; 2) allowed for analysis of the meaning that underlies their assessments, uncover sources of normative values, and make explicit the tacit assumptions participants use to reach their judgements. Three additional focus groups were conducted on the night of the first ever Leaders' Debates and the transcripts record people's expectations in advance of the debates and their reactions afterwards. As well as the focus group transcripts, the collection includes a quantitative file of results from the pre-focus group questionnaire given to participants. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A later QESB study was conducted in 2015, and is held under SN 8117.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Users should note that although audio and video recordings of some of the focus groups have been deposited, they are held for preservation only and are not available for use.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
