Description: <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><div>The&nbsp;<span style="font-style: italic;">Growing Up in Scotland</span>&nbsp;(GUS) study is a large-scale longitudinal social survey which follows the lives of several groups of Scottish children from infancy through childhood and adolescence, and aims to provide important new information on children and their families in Scotland. The study forms a central part of the Scottish Government's strategy for the long-term monitoring and evaluation of its policies for children, with a specific focus on the early years. Unlike other similar cohort studies, this survey has a specifically Scottish focus. A key objective of GUS is to address a significant gap in the evidence base for early years policy monitoring and evaluation. The study seeks both to describe the characteristics, circumstances and experiences of children in their early years (and their parents) in Scotland and, through its longitudinal design, to generate a better understanding of how children's start in life can shape their longer term prospects and development.<br><br>Since 2005, study design and data collection have been undertaken by ScotCen Social Research with collaborations with the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships, based at the University of Edinburgh and the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit over certain periods of the project. The survey design consisted of recruiting an initial total of 8,000 parents in 2005, comprising two cohorts of children (5,000 from birth, 3,000 from age two years and ten months), and then interviewing parents annually until their child reached age five years ten months. Further fieldwork was undertaken with the birth cohort when the children were around eight, ten, twelve and fourteen years old.&nbsp; A boost sample of 500 children from predominantly high deprivation areas was added to the cohort as part of the age 12 fieldwork.<br><br>Data is collected via an in-home, face-to-face interview with self-complete sections. Fieldwork for sweep 10 was disrupted due to the COVID pandemic. As a result, the final portion of the data was collected via web and telephone questionnaires.<br><br>Further information about the survey may be found on the&nbsp;<a href="https://growingupinscotland.org.uk/" target="_blank">Growing Up in Scotland</a>&nbsp;website.<br><br></div>
<p><em>Removal of Geographical Variables and Spatial Unit Variable</em><br> As of February 2018, at the data owner's request, the variables recording the 15% most deprived data zones, the 8 fold urban-rural classification and the Health Boards have been removed from all sweeps (where included). The variables removed are:</p> <ul><li>Sweep 1: ALaLow15, ALaHBdBc;</li><li>Sweep 2: ALcLow15, ALcURin1, ALcHBdBc.</li></ul> <p><em>New edition information</em><br>For the fourth edition (May 2019), an error in the Sweep 3 data has been correct (the SIMD variable ALeSNim2 has been inverted to match the variable included in previous sweeps).</p>
