The data file includes data collected from survey research conducted across three national contexts (Ireland, Malta and the UK) and events in seven cities between 2016 and 2019 (n=1590). This questionnaire used closed-ended multiple choice questions (e.g. demographic data and Likert scales about attitudes towards research). The research used a software solution designed for paired samples with matching between pre-visit and post-visit responses at the individual level, as well as automated email invitations and reminders for the post-visit questionnaire and real-time data analysis and automatic visualizations for event organizers (see qualiaanalytics.org).
