| Description: | <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><i>Background</i>:<br>The 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 <i>National Child Development Study</i>, held at the UK Data Archive under GN 33004, and the <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 <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> 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. <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 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. <span style="font-style: italic;"> </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 <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> 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). These files replace previously available studies held under SNs 8456 and 8622-8627<br></li><li>detailed geographical identifier files which are grouped by sweep held under SN 7758 (MCS1), SN 7759 (MCS2), SN 7760 (MCS3), SN 7761 (MCS4), SN 7762 (MCS5 2001 Census Boundaries), SN 7763 (MCS5 2011 Census Boundaries), SN 8231 (MCS6 2001 Census Boundaries), SN 8232 (MCS6 2011 Census Boundaries), SN 8757 (MCS7), SN 8758 (MCS7 2001 Census Boundaries) and SN 8759 (MCS7 2011 Census Boundaries). These files replace previously available files grouped by geography SN 7049 (Ward level), SN 7050 (Lower Super Output Area level), and SN 7051 (Output Area level)</li><li>linked education administrative datasets for Key Stages 1, 2 and 4 held under SN 8481 (England). This replaces previously available datasets for Key Stage 1 (SN 6862) and Key Stage 2 (SN 7712)<br></li><li>linked education administrative datasets for Key Stage 1 held under SN 7414 (Scotland) and SN 7415 (Wales)</li><li>linked NHS Patient Episode Database for Wales (PEDW) for MCS1 – MCS5 held under SN 8302</li><li>Banded Distances to English Grammar Schools for MCS5 held under SN 8394</li><li>the exact date of interview held under SN 8456</li></ul>The linked education administrative datasets held under SNs 8481, 7414 and 7415 may be ordered alongside the MCS detailed geographical identifier files only if sufficient justification is provided in the application. 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 <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> web page).<br><br> <p>Further objectives for MCS2 were as follows: </p> <ul> <li>to chart continuity and change since the age of nine months in the child's family and parenting environment</li><li>to chart the child's transitions and adaptations to settings and relationships outside the immediate home and family</li><li>to assess key aspects of the child's physical, cognitive, social and emotional development</li><li>to maximise longitudinal potential for predicting and explaining future development</li><li>to 'recapture' information not collected at the first sweep</li></ul> May 2017: The longitudinal family file is now available separately under <a href="https://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/Catalogue/?sn=8172" title="Millennium Cohort Study: Longitudinal Family File, 2001-2015"> SN 8172</a>.<br><br>For the eleventh edition (January 2022), a new data file mcs2_family_interview has been added due to the family level data being split out from the parent-level data to make future merging with MCS8 onwards easier. Two data files (mcs2_parent_interview and mcs2_parent_cm_interview) have been updated to include variables that were missed from the previous edition due to a technical error. In addition, mcs2_hhgrid has had some data edits applied.<br><br>Also the following data file specific changes have been made:<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">mcs2_family_interview</span><div>Some family level data has been removed as it related to one family who were interviewed on the incorrect serial number at this sweep.<br><span style="font-style: italic;"><br>mcs2_hhgrid </span></div><div>Total number of cases has changed due to data updates. For sample size please check the longitudinal family file.</div><div><br></div> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> Information was gathered from the cohort members' parents or guardians by Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) interview, a Computer Aided Self-completion Interview (CASI), and a self-completion questionnaire. In addition there were four assessments of the cohort child.<br> <br> The Main Respondent questionnaire included a 'Household Module' covering the parental situation, parenting activities, child's health, child care, grandparents and friends, parents' health, self-completion questions, employment, income and education, housing and local area, other matters, employment history and new families.<br> <br> The Partner Respondent questionnaire included questions on the parental situation, parenting activities, grandparents and friends, parents' health, and self-completion questions on employment, employment history, income and education.<br> <br> The questionnaire given to proxy respondents covered the parental situation, grandparents and friends and parents' health.<br> <br> The Child Assessments conducted included <i>British Ability Scales</i>, the <i>Braken Basic Concept Scale</i>, height and weight.<br> <br> An older sibling self-completion questionnaire was also used where appropriate. Users should note that the MCS2 dataset currently includes data from the Main Questionnaire, longitudinal data files covering Household Grid and Family Level Information for linkage between MCS1 (held under SN 4683) and MCS2, and CAPI documentation for the Main, Partner and Proxy Respondents only.<br> |
