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.&nbsp;<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 10, Sweep 3, 1980</span><br> The 10-year follow-up was the second full national follow-up of the BCS70 cohort. It was designed to review and evaluate mid-childhood health, care, education, social and family environment throughout Britain. A number of considerations influenced the development of the survey instrumentation used. A major factor was the desire to examine 10-year-old children's educational achievement and the ways in which it is influenced by other events, and a wide range of earlier developmental, educational, social and health factors recorded previously on the same cohort and in particular the effects of: pre-school education and daycare; and learning difficulties. Health itself was another major focus of the follow-up, to provide a comparison with information gathered during the 5-year follow-up. The comprehensive nature of the data gathered in this longitudinal BCS study from birth onwards enables examination of the effects on the 10-year child's education, health and general progress, of perinatal problems, serious childhood illnesses and critical episodes in the family or social environment. A separate subset study conducted at the same time, covering 10-year follow-up respondents with special educational needs- see&nbsp;SN 7064.<br> <br> For the sixth 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> <br>
<B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>
Some 15 separate survey documents were used, comprising manuals, assessments, self-completion questionnaires, interview schedules, and a medical examination record. The questionnaires were distributed as two packs known as the Educational Pack and the Health Pack. Five types of instruments were used: self-completion questionnaires (completed by the child, parent, and teacher); interviews (with parents); medical examination (of the child); tests (completed by the child); and measurement scales (completed by the child, parents and teachers). Information gathered from parents included: the child's medical history; accidents; hospital admissions; clinic attendance; use of health services; the child at school; child's skills; child's behaviour; parent's level of education; occupation of parents; type of accommodation; household amenities; and type of neighbourhood. Information provided by the medical examination included: disability and chronic illness; height and weight; head circumference; blood pressure; pulse; near and distant vision; audiometry; laterality; and co-ordination. Information provided by schools included: school composition: curriculum; discipline and ethos; teacher's assessment of child's ability and behaviour. Information provided by the study subjects included: academic success: smoking; attitudes to school; food and drink consumed; locus of control; self-esteem; personality; social judgement; and mathematics; reading; vocabulary; writing, copying and spelling tests.<br> <br> <i>Standard Measures</i><br> The measurement scales employed included: Rutter A Scale of child behaviour deviance; Conners Hyperactivity/Behaviour Scale; Neurodevelopment Scale; Lifeskills Scale; Expressive Language Scale; Reading Test, Mathematics Test, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning Test, Picture Language Comprehension Test; Lawseq (Self-esteem Scale); Caraloc (Locus of Control Scale); Malaise Inventory (Mother).<br>
