The file contains one record for every activity recorded in the diary household member recorded in the grid in Section 1 of the survey questionnaire. It contains multiple records for a particular individual and time slot where more than one activity was recorded for that time slot. It contains at least 48 records for every individual for whom a diary completed, but could - theoretically - include 144 records for a single individual if three activities were recorded for each time slot. It contains two different measures of duration of activity.
