\n \nThe UKTUS 2014-15 was designed to be, as far as possible, compatible both with the previous UK Time Use Survey, conducted by ONS in 2000-2001 (see under SN 4504) and with other European time use studies carried out in since 2008 (not currently held at the UK Data Archive). It followed the Eurostat 2008 guidelines on Harmonised European Time Use Studies (HETUS), but was tailored to the needs and requirements of UK users. In particular, specific fields for mobile device use and enjoyment of time were added to the UKTUS 2014-2015 diary. In line with the key aims of the study, all data have been deposited with the UK Data Archive, to be made available for analysis by government and academic users. \n \nCitation format: \nThe Principal Investigators have requested that the following format is used when citing this dataset: \n \nGershuny, J., Sullivan, O.
