Getting started: An introduction to four British cohort studies
15 Nov 2023, 13:00 – 14:30
The UK’s cohort studies have followed generations of Britons over the course of their lives, collecting a broad range of data over time and across different domains of life. These studies are powerful resources for addressing a wide range of scientific questions across social, economic, health, political and geographical sciences.
The speakers will introduce new users to four national cohort studies managed by the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS):
- 1958 National Child Development Study
- 1970 British Cohort Study
- Next Steps (born 1989-90)
- Millennium Cohort Study (born 2000-02)
Speakers
- Vanessa Moulton, Senior Research Associate, CLS
- Morag Henderson, Professor in Sociology, CLS
- Richard Silverwood, Associate Professor and Chief Statistician, CLS
This online event will be particularly useful for Master's or PhD students interested in using the cohorts for a dissertation or thesis, as well as researchers in academia or the third sector new to the cohort studies.
