| When conducted: | April 2009 - May 2010 |
| Sampling method and study design: | This survey largely followed the Eurostat Harmonised European Time Use Studies guidelines, though some data, like income, is drawn from public records and not asked in the household or individual questionnaires. The survey drew a national sample of private households, and asked all household members aged 10 and older to complete two diaries, one on a week day, and one on a weekend day. All household diarists were asked to complete their diaries on the same calendar days. The diaries covered 24 hour periods, starting at 04:00 on each diary day, and divided the observation period into 10 minute intervals where people recorded their main activity and any secondary activity in their own words. Diaries also covered location and mode of transport, who else was present, and whether the diarist used a computer or the internet during the activity. |
