Description: <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><i>Background</i>:<br>The&nbsp;Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is a large-scale, multi-purpose longitudinal dataset providing information about babies born at the beginning of the 21st century, their progress through life, and the families who are bringing them up, for the four countries of the United Kingdom. The original objectives of the first MCS survey, as laid down in the proposal to the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in March 2000, were:<ul><li>to chart the initial conditions of social, economic and health advantages and disadvantages facing children born at the start of the 21st century, capturing information that the research community of the future will require</li><li>to provide a basis for comparing patterns of development with the preceding cohorts (the&nbsp;<i>National Child Development Study</i>, held at the UK Data Archive under GN 33004, and the&nbsp;<i>1970 Birth Cohort Study</i>, held under GN 33229)</li><li>to collect information on previously neglected topics, such as fathers' involvement in children's care and development</li><li>to focus on parents as the most immediate elements of the children's 'background', charting their experience as mothers and fathers of newborn babies in the year 2000, recording how they (and any other children in the family) adapted to the newcomer, and what their aspirations for her/his future may be</li><li>to emphasise intergenerational links including those back to the parents' own childhood</li><li>to investigate the wider social ecology of the family, including social networks, civic engagement and community facilities and services, splicing in geo-coded data when available</li></ul>Additional objectives subsequently included for MCS were:<ul><li>to provide control cases for the national evaluation of Sure Start (a government programme intended to alleviate child poverty and social exclusion)</li><li>to provide samples of adequate size to analyse and compare the smaller countries of the United Kingdom, and include disadvantaged areas of England</li></ul><p>Further information about the MCS can be found on the&nbsp;<a href="https://cls.ucl.ac.uk/cls-studies/millennium-cohort-study/" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Centre for Longitudinal Studies</a>&nbsp;web pages.</p><p>The content of MCS studies, including questions, topics and variables can be explored via the <a href="https://discovery.closer.ac.uk/item/uk.cls.mcs/0d8a7220-c61b-4542-967d-a40cb5aca430">CLOSER Discovery</a> website.&nbsp;<br></p>The first sweep (MCS1) interviewed both mothers and (where resident) fathers (or father-figures) of infants included in the sample when the babies were nine months old, and the second sweep (MCS2) was carried out with the same respondents when the children were three years of age. The third sweep (MCS3) was conducted in 2006, when the children were aged five years old, the fourth sweep (MCS4) in 2008, when they were seven years old, the fifth sweep (MCS5) in 2012-2013, when they were eleven years old, the sixth sweep (MCS6) in 2015, when they were fourteen years old, and the seventh sweep (MCS7) in 2018, when they were seventeen years old.<br><br><i>End User Licence versions of MCS studies</i>:<br>The End User Licence (EUL) versions of MCS1, MCS2, MCS3, MCS4, MCS5, MCS6 and MCS7 are held under UK Data Archive SNs 4683, 5350, 5795, 6411, 7464, 8156 and 8682 respectively. The&nbsp;longitudinal family file is held under SN 8172.<br><br><i>Sub-sample studies</i>:<br>Some studies based on sub-samples of MCS have also been conducted, including a study of MCS respondent mothers who had received assisted fertility treatment, conducted in 2003 (see EUL SN 5559). Also, birth registration and maternity hospital episodes for the MCS respondents are held as a separate dataset (see EUL SN 5614).<br><br><div style=""><div style=""><span style="font-style: italic;">Release of Sweeps 1 to 4 to Long Format (Summer 2020)</span></div><div style="">To support longitudinal research and make it easier to compare data from different time points, all data from across all sweeps is now in a consistent format. The update affects the data from sweeps 1 to 4 (from 9 months to 7 years), which are updated from the old/wide to a new/long format to match the format of data of sweeps 5 and 6 (age 11 and 14 sweeps). The old/wide formatted datasets contained one row per family with multiple variables for different respondents. The new/long formatted datasets contain one row per respondent (per parent or per cohort member) for each MCS family. Additional updates have been made to all sweeps to harmonise variable labels and enhance anonymisation.&nbsp;<span style="font-style: italic;">&nbsp;</span></div></div><br><i>How to access genetic and/or bio-medical sample data from a range of longitudinal surveys:</i><br>A useful overview of the governance routes for applying for genetic and bio-medical sample data, which are not available through the UK Data Service, can be found at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.metadac.ac.uk/data-access-through-metadac/" title="Governance of data and sample access" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Governance of data and sample access</a>&nbsp;on the METADAC (Managing Ethico-social, Technical and Administrative issues in Data Access) website.<br><br><b>Secure Access datasets</b>:<br>Secure Access versions of the MCS have more restrictive access conditions than versions available under the standard End User Licence or Special Licence (see 'Access data' tab above).<br><br>Secure Access versions of the MCS include:<br><ul><li>detailed sensitive variables not available under EUL. These have been grouped thematically and are held under SN 8753 (socio-economic, accommodation and occupational data), SN 8754 (self-reported health, behaviour and fertility), SN 8755 (demographics, language and religion) and SN 8756 (exact participation dates).

The linked education administrative datasets are not available alongside the <span style="font-style: italic;">Hospital of Birth: Special Licence Access</span> dataset under SN 5724. Users are also only allowed access to either 2001 or 2011 of Geographical Identifiers Census Boundaries studies. So for MCS5 either SN 7762 (2001 Census Boundaries) or SN 7763 (2011 Census Boundaries), for the MCS6 users are only allowed either SN 8231 (2001 Census Boundaries) or SN 8232 (2011 Census Boundaries); and the same applies for MCS7 so either SN 8758 (2001 Census Boundaries) or SN 8759 (2011 Census Boundaries).<br><br>Researchers applying for access to the Secure Access MCS datasets should indicate on their ESRC Accredited Researcher application form the EUL dataset(s) that they also wish to access (selected from the MCS Series&nbsp;<a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000031#!/access-data" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Access</a>&nbsp;web page).<br><br>
<p>The sixth sweep of the Millennium Cohort Study was carried out when the cohort members were 14 years old. As 14 is a key transitional age, the sweep was purposefully ambitious in the breadth and scope of its contents. It included: an interview (CAPI and CASI) with the main parent and their partner (where relevant); a self-completion interview with the cohort members; cognitive assessments for the main parent, the partner and the cohort member; DNA collection of the cohort member and natural parents in the household; physical measurements of the cohort member; placement of a time use diary with the cohort member; placement of an accelerometer with the cohort member.<br><br>For the seventh edition (November 2020), three additional cohort member Time Use Diary (TUD) data files have been added. There is a separate data file for each mode of data collection (paper form, mobile application and online form). The harmonised TUD data file is still available which combines all three modes of data collection.</p>
<B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>
The files contained in the MCS6 study comprise data from the Parental Interview(s), the Household Grid, child measurement and assessment and the cohort member self-completion questionnaire. The Parent Interview file(s) comprises data from the Main Respondent, Partner Respondent and Proxy Respondent questionnaires, which covered household information; family context; education, schooling and childcare; child and family activities; parenting activities; child's health; parent's health; employment, income and education; housing and local area; and other matters. The Household Grid file comprises demographic data on households and additional derived variables. The Child Assessments and Measurement files include cognitive and physical measurements, a decision-making task (officially named the Cambridge Gambling task); height; weight; and waist circumference and body fat measurement. The Cohort Member self-completion was given to all participant children and conducted on a tablet.
