Description: | <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p>The <em>1970 British Cohort Study</em> (BCS70) began in 1970 when data were collected about the births and families of babies born in the United Kingdom in one particular week in 1970. Since then, there have been nine further full data collection exercises in order to monitor the cohort members' health, education, social and economic circumstances. These took place when respondents were aged 5 in 1975, aged 10 in 1980, aged 16 in 1986, aged 26 in 1996, aged 30 in 1999-2000 (SN 5558), aged 34 in 2004-2005, aged 42 in 2012 and aged 46 in 2016-18. A range of sub-sample and supplementary surveys have also been conducted, and a separate dataset covering response to BCS70 over all waves is available under SN 5641, <em>1970 British Cohort Study Response Dataset, 1970-2012.</em></p> <p>Further information about the BCS70 and may be found on the <a title="Centre for Longitudinal Studies" href="http://www.cls.ioe.ac.uk/">Centre for Longitudinal Studies</a> website. The content of BCS70 studies, including questions, topics and variables can be explored via the <a href="https://discovery.closer.ac.uk/item/uk.cls.bcs70/75fe4705-0c94-4f75-b1e6-ad9c61ffde26">CLOSER Discovery</a> website. <br> <br> <em>How to access genetic and/or bio-medical sample data from a range of longitudinal surveys:</em><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 title="Governance of data and sample access" href="http://www.metadac.ac.uk/data-access-through-metadac/">Governance of data and sample access</a> on the METADAC (Managing Ethico-social, Technical and Administrative issues in Data Access) website.</p> <span style="font-style: italic;">1970 British Cohort Study: Age 26, Sweep 5, 1996</span><br> The 26-year follow-up was the fourth full national follow-up of the BCS70 cohort. This follow-up was designed to review and evaluate young adults' (26 year) health, education, social and family environment throughout Britain. The comprehensive nature of the data gathered in this longitudinal study enables study of the effects on the 26-year old's education, health and general progress, of perinatal problems, serious childhood illnesses and critical episodes in the family or social environment.<br> <br> For the fifth edition (June 2016) a small number of primary identifiers (BCSID) have been changed to realign them to previous sweeps of data. See the documentation for full details of the work done.<br> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> <p> The questionnaire included the following topics: qualifications and skills; training; employment and earnings ; unemployment and periods out of the labour market; relationships, marriage and children; housing and household; health and health-related behaviour; and the views of cohort members about topics such as law and order, politics, jobs, and marriage and family.</p><p><br><span style="font-style: italic;"> Standard Measures</span><br> The attitude questions included in the questionnaire employ Likert-like scales, and the coding of occupation includes Cambridge and Hope-Goldthorpe scale scores.</p> |
