The Participation Survey is a continuous push-to-web survey of adults aged 16 and over in England. It serves as a successor to the Taking Part survey, which ran for 16 years as a continuous face to face survey. Paper surveys are available for those not digitally engaged. Fieldwork started in October 2021 and it is envisaged that the survey will be a key evidence source for Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and its sectors by providing statistically representative national estimates of adult engagement with the DCMS sectors. The survey’s main objectives are to:

• Provide a central, reliable evidence source that can be used to analyse cultural, digital, and sporting engagement, providing a clear picture of why people do or do not engage.
• Provide data at a county level to meet user needs, including providing evidence for the levelling up agenda.
• Underpin further research on driving engagement and the value and benefits of engagement.

The Participation Survey is a continuous push-to-web survey of adults aged 16 and over in England. It serves as a successor to the Taking Part survey, which ran for 16 years as a continuous face to face survey. Paper surveys are available for those not digitally engaged. Fieldwork started in October 2021 and it is envisaged that the survey will be a key evidence source for Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and its sectors by providing statistically representative national estimates of adult engagement with the DCMS sectors. The survey’s main objectives are to:

• Provide a central, reliable evidence source that can be used to analyse cultural, digital, and sporting engagement, providing a clear picture of why people do or do not engage.
• Provide data at a county level to meet user needs, including providing evidence for the levelling up agenda.
• Underpin further research on driving engagement and the value and benefits of engagement.

The Participation Survey collects data on engagement in:

• the arts
• libraries
• heritage
• museums and galleries
• tourism
• major cultural events
• major sporting events
• sport
• gambling
• digital sectors

The survey includes information on frequency of participation, reasons for participating, barriers to participation and attitudes to the sectors.

Information is also gathered on demographics (e.g. age, education), and related areas including wellbeing, loneliness, and use of digital technology.

Conducted by the Urban Institute, the Cultural Participation Survey 1998 was the first in a series of surveys evaluating the Community Partnerships for Cultural Participation (CPCP) initiative. In the CPCP initiative, a total of ten community foundations around the country received grants from the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund to induce more people to attend arts and cultural events, encourage people who attend to contribute their time and money as well, and attract people who do not usually attend. The Urban Institute was commissioned to evaluate the initiative through surveys of households and organizations in five of these communities. The Cultural Participation Survey 1998 measured leisure time activities, organizational involvement attendance at arts and culture events, and personal participation in arts and cultural activities by individuals in five geographic areas: the Kansas City metropolitan area; Humboldt County, California; Mayfair (San Jose), California; Milpitas, California; and Gilroy, California. From November 10, 1998 through December 12, 1998, a total of 2,406 computer-aided telephone interviews were conducted across all five geographic areas.

The National Household Education Survey Program, 2012 Early Childhood Program Participation Survey (ECPP-NHES:2012), is a study that is part of the National Household Education Survey (NHES) program. ECPP-NHES:2012 (https://nces.ed.gov/nhes/) is a cross-sectional survey that collects data directly from households on educational issues. This study was conducted using address based sample, self-administered questionnaires of households. Households in 2012 were sampled. Key statistics produced from ECPP-NHES:2012 are early childhood care and education.

This survey collected information on participants in adult and continuing education activities throughout the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Conducted by the Bureau of the Census as part of the CURRENT POPULATION SURVEY, May 1969 (ICPSR 7996), the adult education survey collected information on types of courses taken, types of institutions or agencies offering courses, reasons for taking the courses, and the respondent's age, sex, and race. These data are related to additional socioeconomic and demographic information collected at the same time in PARTICIPATION IN ADULT EDUCATION [UNITED STATES]: DEMOGRAPHICS FOR MAY 1969 AND MAY 1972 (IPCSR 2298).

Results of optional anonymous surveys of participatory budgeting participants. Survey data helps inform City Council outreach efforts for participatory budgeting. Surveys are completed either online or in person on paper, after a person has participated. Please note that surveys collected in different years may have slightly different ranges of values. Depending on the year, this may be because the possible range of answers on the questionnaire were changed. Additionally, not all questions were asked in all years. Therefore, survey data is best compared within a survey year, not between survey years.

Despite many innovative ideas generated in response to COVID-19, few studies have examined community preferences for these ideas. Our study aimed to determine university community members' preferences for three novel ideas identified through a crowdsourcing open call at the University of North Carolina (UNC) for making campus safer in the pandemic, as compared to existing (i.e. pre-COVID-19) resources. An online survey was conducted from March 30, 2021 – May 6, 2021. Survey participants included UNC students, staff, faculty, and others. The online survey was distributed using UNC's mass email listserv and research directory, departmental listservs, and student text groups. Collected data included participant demographics, COVID-19 prevention behaviors, preferences for finalist ideas vs. existing resources in three domains (graduate student supports, campus tours, and online learning), and interest in volunteering with finalist teams. In total 437 survey responses were received from 228 (52%) staff, 119 (27%) students, 78 (18%) faculty, and 12 (3%) others. Most participants were older than age 30 years (309; 71%), women (332, 78%), and white (363, 83.1%). Five participants (1%) were gender minorities, 66 (15%) identified as racial/ethnic minorities, and 46 (10%) had a disability. Most participants preferred the finalist idea for a virtual campus tour of UNC's lesser-known history compared to the existing campus tour (52.2% vs. 16.0%). For graduate student supports, 41.4% of participants indicated no preference between the finalist idea and existing supports; for online learning resources, the existing resource was preferred compared to the finalist idea (41.6% vs. 30.4%). Most participants agreed that finalists' ideas would have a positive impact on campus safety during COVID-19 (81.2%, 79.6%, and 79.2% for finalist ideas 1, 2 and 3 respectively). 61 (14.1%) participants indicated interest in volunteering with finalist teams. Together these findings contribute to the development and implementation of community-engaged crowdsourced campus safety interventions during COVID-19.

In a 2022 survey, 74 percent of respondents said that they had never taken part in a fantasy sports league. Among the remaining 26 percent of survey participants, half were actively engaged in playing in a fantasy sports league, while the other half hadn't played in a fantasy sports league for the past 12 months.

This study examined the effects of advance letters on individual participation in the 2018 round of the European Social Survey in Ireland. As participation rates in household surveys have been in decline in many countries, understanding the impact of engagement strategies, such as prior contact, are crucial for fieldwork planning and overall quality of data collection. Based on a natural experiment, we assessed the likelihood of individuals to take part in the survey comparing those who have received an advance letter with those who did not receive it. Contrary to previous evidence on the effectiveness of prior contact, our results indicate that individuals in the sample that received an advance letter are less likely to take part in the survey. We discuss these results in light of an increasing public scepticism regarding social surveys and data privacy.

This data collection offers information on Americans' participation in the arts, such as ballet, opera, plays, museums, and concerts, during 1992. Sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, and conducted by the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, this survey was a supplement to a larger national survey, the National Crime Survey (NCS). Data are provided for all household members aged 12 and older (excluding crew members of merchant vessels, armed forces personnel living in military barracks, and institutionalized persons) in sampled households. Respondents were asked about their past-year participation in, and frequency of attending, art performances and events in the following categories: jazz music, classical music, opera, musicals, plays (nonmusical), ballet, other dance, art museums, arts-crafts fairs, and historical park/design sites. Reasons for nonparticipation were also collected. Additionally, demographic information including age, sex, race, marital status and education level is available. New questions added in the 1992 survey concerned the use of video cassette recorders (VCRs), various dance forms other than ballet, and different types of popular music. In general, the 1992 survey asked more varied and detailed questions about arts participation.

Data set from Survey.Three separate surveys questions designed for the students, employees, and participants of Puerto Rico Community Clinic. The student survey was 30 questions, 23 Likert scale style and 7 free response, intended to gauge the perceived benefits of participating in the service trip, and the employee survey was composed of 12 questions, 8 Likert scale style, and 4 free response. Both the employee and participant surveys were translated from English. The Community Center’s participants surveys included 8 questions, 5 Likert scale style and 3 free response. All Likert scale questions ranged from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). Surveys were voluntarily completed on the last day by employees and members, whereas student surveys were conducted during the students’ trip back and were completed prior to returning home the next day. All surveys were completed anonymously, allowing one to report their true perception without concern of repercussion.
