The Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) has redeposited data from the 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS) 2002-2004 Biomedical Sweep, with most data now available to researchers under the UK Data Service’s standard access arrangements (End User Licence) for the first time.
In this online workshop attendees will learn why principled methods of missing data handling are usually required to reduce bias and restore sample representativeness in long-running cohort studies. They will also discover how to undertake such analyses in practice. Analyses will be demonstrated using Stata, with a focus on multiple imputation. The 1958 National Child […]
The 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS), the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) and the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) samples have been extensively genotyped. We have collected biological samples from three of our studies: NCDS (blood, saliva), BCS70 (blood) and MCS (saliva, teeth). We welcome applications for further use of these samples. Find out how […]

Researchers can now access new information about how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the lives of almost 26,000 cohort study participants.
In the BCS70 Age 34 Sweep, half of cohort members with children aged 16 and under were randomly chosen to take part in a special study.
A new, searchable, online guide on physical activity measures used in six longitudinal studies, including the 1958, 1970 and Millennium birth cohorts, has been launched by CLOSER.
Researchers tracking the experiences of the millennial generation can now explore a wider range of health-related questions, thanks to a pioneering new agreement which enables secure onward sharing of NHS Digital data linked to Next Steps via the UK Data Service.
