Our briefings and impact library includes summaries of our research findings as well as reports highlighting the impact of our cohort studies.
This report shows overall prevalences of engagement in risky behaviours, alongside breakdowns by sex, by parental educational level, and by UK country. In terms of sample characteristics, 50% were females, 36% had parents with a university degree or above, 13% were of ethnic minority origin, and the UK nations were represented by England (84%), Wales (5%), Scotland (8%) and Northern Ireland (3%). Analyses are adjusted for survey design and attrition, so figures are nationally representative estimates of risky behaviours among young people born in the UK around the turn of the millennium.
This infographic illustrates how lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) young adults are more likely to be physically bullied and socially excluded between the ages of 14 to 16 compared to their heterosexual peers. The graphic uses data from Next Steps and was produced as part of the CLS activities for 2015 Anti-Bullying Week. On 9 November 2015, CLS partnered with the Anti-Bullying Alliance to deliver a seminar for anti-bullying charities and local government workers on the long-term effects of bullying.
This briefing paper uses data from Next Steps to examine sexual minority groups’ experiences of bullying. It explores the relationship between sexual identities and bullying, including how frequently lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people are bullied, the types of bullying they experience, and how this relates to their life satisfaction.

This briefing provides a first look at findings comparing the experience of moving home for children under five in two longitudinal studies, one the UK Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) and the other the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFS) from US cities, in the early 2000s.
The research set out to explore how moving home in two contrasting housing policy regimes was associated with the development of pre-school children.

A 2013 research paper by two academics at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies on the beneficial effects of reading for pleasure in childhood has attracted a remarkable amount of interest from schools, libraries and literacy organisations around the world. This case study shows how the findings have been used to help protect library services, to persuade children of all ages to spend more time reading, and to encourage parents to support schools’ home reading initiatives.
It uses data from the age 10 and 16 sweeps of the 1970 British Cohort Study.
