Abstract
Funding is requested for the continuation of the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS), from 2015-2020, as the ESRC resource centre responsible for three British birth cohort studies. The 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS), the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) and the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) are major national, indeed international, data resources and form a core part of the UK's portfolio of longitudinal studies.
This proposal builds on the existing strengths of CLS as an efficient site for cohort maintenance, data preparation and documentation, user support and engagement, training, capacity building and methodological advice. There is a strong scientific rationale for continuing to gather data from these cohorts. Each new survey enhances the value of the existing study and allows for further analyses examining how experiences and circumstances in early life may impact on later outcomes.
Data collection: We aim to collect data from each cohort between 2015 and 2020: BCS70 at age 46 and 50, NCDS at age 60 and MCS at age 17. NCDS and BCS70 now have about 10,000 adult subjects each, and are coordinated to collect very similar information, allowing cross-cohort comparisons. In 2012, there was a 60-minute, face-to-face interview survey of BCS70 members at age 42 and, in 2013, a sweep of the NCDS cohort at age 55 that involved a web survey followed by telephone interviews for those not responding. MCS followed children at roughly two-yearly intervals up to the fourth survey at age 7 in 2008. This study, starting out with nearly 19,000 babies, has most recently collected data on approximately 13,000 children at age 11. A major survey of MCS members in 2014-15 is under development, and is projected to reach 12,000 individuals (this survey has been covered by a previous funding application).
Tracking cohorts: Keeping in touch with members of the three cohorts over time is key to maximising response rates. CLS maintains address databases for each study, and we have recently extended our use of administrative data for tracking cohort members by using NHS records on BCS70 (at age 42) and MCS (age 11) and the National Pupil Database on MCS (age 11). As this was highly successful we plan to use administrative data for tracking all three cohorts in future. We will also continue to improve the websites we have established for members of each cohort.
Dissemination and Exploiting data: We have a carefully considered strategy for ensuring that data from the cohort studies are fully exploited by a wide range of users. Consultation conferences will be held, and working groups established, to ensure that the data collected are relevant to policymakers and other potential users. Workshops and conferences will be organised to publicise the datasets, provide training in their use, and to share the results of analyses. The CLS website, offering data documentation, and a searchable bibliography, will continue to be important for sharing information about the studies. We will develop and redesign the site, guided by careful monitoring of its use via Google Analytics. Media coverage of the cohort studies has proven to be an effective way of reaching many of CLS's target audiences, including policymakers, practitioners and the general public. CLS will continue to issue press releases on new publications and findings, and will make increasing use of social media. We also plan 'new data campaigns' for the MCS age 14 and 17 surveys, the NCDS age 60 survey, and the BCS70 age 46 survey, to raise awareness of newly available data.
Impact: CLS recognises the importance of monitoring, recording and publicising the impact of its studies and has detailed plans for widening the scope of this activity during the new funding period. We will, for example, produce a series of case studies analysing the effect of our work on policy and practice and will establish a special section on the CLS website in order to showcase this impact.

Planned Impact
Who will benefit from this resource?
Data users
As CLS's core objective is to produce high-quality data resources, the primary beneficiaries of its work are data users. CLS is very conscious that data users exist across sectors, career stages, disciplines and countries. We will continue to increase the size, skills and diversity of this group. This will necessarily include targeting potential new users in the public and third sectors, doctoral students, and academics. In particular, CLS will build stronger relationships with Doctoral Training Centres and early career researchers.
Policymakers - Findings from the cohort studies have direct relevance to a range of policy issues. In 2010-15, CLS successfully raised awareness of cohort study findings among policymakers, primarily through its media and events work. Focusing on central government and devolved administrations - but also local government - CLS will continue to improve the accessibility of both the data and findings for these beneficiaries.
Wider research community
CLS holds considerable substantive, methodological and professional expertise. By contributing to relevant networks, events and publications, CLS will aim to share its knowledge even more widely with those involved in social and economic research in the UK and abroad. CLS will build on its current participation in networks and organisations such as the Society for Longitudinal and Life Course Studies, the European Survey Research Association, the British Educational Research Association, and others.
Practitioners
Findings from the cohort studies are useful to practitioners, their regulators, and their professional associations. CLS will continue to focus on practitioners whose specialisms have the closest links to the life domains covered by the cohort studies, including teachers and lecturers, childcare providers, pensions advisors, and health and social care practitioners.
Public service providers - Closely tied to practitioners are public service providers such as the NHS, schools, colleges, universities, social landlords, and local councils. Findings from the studies can provide background and context for service provision, particularly in justifying and evaluating services, but also to help shape certain practices (for example, encouraging health-related behaviours such as breastfeeding).
General public
As a publicly-funded resource centre, CLS has a duty to make its work transparent and accessible to the general public. However, CLS also has the potential to improve public understanding of social, economic and health issues. Findings from the studies often speak directly to issues in everyday life, such as parenting, general physical and mental health, preparing for retirement. It should also be noted that the general public includes cohort members and their families. Public outreach, such as press coverage of the studies, will contribute to boosting cohort members' engagement (see section 6 of Case for support for more information on cohort member communications).
Media
CLS has often reached its target audiences through successful engagement with international, national, regional and local press. More information on our media work can be found in the Pathways to Impact section.
How will they benefit from this resource?
CLS outputs and services will benefit the groups listed above in several ways:
-high-quality, well-documented data resources for research
-training and capacity building support for those analysing data, including students and early career researchers
-relevant and timely packaging of findings for policy development and practice guidance, for example, blogs, briefing documents and events, and social media
-easier access to published works using cohort data, for example through the CLS online bibliography
-accessible and engaging information on social, economic and health issues, for example through web news items, press releases, social media, and briefing papers.

| Title | A novel computer game project to facilitate public engagement with CLS birth cohort studies and longitudinal quantitative social science |
| Description | A novel computer game commissioned (and subsequently developed by Duck Duck Zeus), which explores findings from studies housed at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS). In particular, research on social inequalities: a reoccurring finding from these studies is that socioeconomic circumstances at birth are strongly related to events later in life. For example, those born into less favourable circumstances (in terms of lower income/wealth, education, or social class) are less likely (on average) to obtain higher education and more likely to experience health problems as adults. These findings have powerful repercussions for society, yet can be difficult to grasp. This game incorporates some of these findings into its gameplay. By playing the game and understanding how it is made the game aimed to help players to become more familiar with these relationships and gain a greater understanding of the potential of the longitudinal studies that underpin them. |

| Description | Project progress report March 2022: Data collection/ fieldwork projects: The age 46 BCS70 (a biosocial data collection co-funded by MRC) and MCS age 17 projects have now been fully delivered, alongside age 14 MCS and age 25 Next Steps which were funded in separate grant awards. With agreement of ESRC, the timetable for the original NCDS age 60 data collection was extended by 2 years (becoming Age 62 NCDS), so that co-funding arrangements including for a major biomedical component could be successfully finalised, from the Medical Research Council, the US National Institutes of Health, and the Department for Work and Pensions. Further to this, several new awards for major fieldwork projects extending beyond the original CLS 2015-2020 award have been made. This includes for BCS70, originally planned for age 50 (now age 51) and Next Steps at age 31 (now age 32), both of which were added as additional funding notices to the original CLS 2015-2020 award, effectively extending the grant to CLS 2015-22. An additional grant through the UKRI's Covid-19 funding scheme funded special Covid-19 web and web-telephone data collections in all four CLS cohorts, and a standalone award for MCS at age 22 has now also been made and is underway. The Covid-19 pandemic caused notable disruptions to timing of the planned fieldwork in NCDS (age 62) and BCS70 (now age 51), and a small delay to the timing of fieldwork in Next Steps (now age 32), which have been thoroughly discussed with ESRC and on successive occasions at the CLS Strategic Advisory Boards (October 2020, June 2021, and November 2021). As a result of these delays, ESRC has agreed to a further extension to the original CLS grant, now 2015-2023, for the current fieldwork projects to proceed. These data collections, together with risks and mitigations are now discussed thoroughly in the current funding application, including in the Case for Support. (See Table 1 for a summary of the above). Table 1. Major data collections associated with CLS Resource Centre 2015-2023 Data collection Funded by Fieldwork Status BCS70 at age 46 CLS 2015-2020 grant with MRC co-funding incorporated into the original grant award, and additional co-funding from British Heart Foundation..

The original and wider objectives of the 2015-2023 grant have been met or are on track to be met. Given the complex patchwork of grants and objectives, we summarise progress within the CLS 2015-2023 Resource Centre under the following headings that were agreed as our reporting framework with ESRC at the outset of the grant and which we use as the basis of biannual reporting to our Strategic Advisory Board. Note this is not an exhaustive report against objectives. Record linkages: Education: MCS and Next Steps linked to results at all Key Stages (A-level linkage is forthcoming in MCS), and Next Steps linked to Individualised Learner Records (ILR) and Student Loan Company (SLC) Records. Discussions with Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) are ongoing. Health: All four cohorts have now also been linked to hospital episodes (HES), and novel sublicensing arrangement with NHS Digital to share these records via UK Data Service (UKDS). All four CLS cohorts have contributed to Covid-19 National Core Studies UK LLC, which has linked administrative health data including cancer registration data, primary care, Covid-19 vaccination, prescribing, testing results and hospitalisation for the purposes of Covid-19 research among 15 UK longitudinal population studies, and is now securely sharing these for the purposes of Covid-19 related research. Crime: Discussions are in advanced stages for linkage of MCS and Next Steps to criminal records data (MOJ). Economic: We have had lengthy interactions in relation to linkage of economic records with DWP and HMRC, however progress has stalled due to factors beyond our control. Longitudinal Education Outcomes dataset (LEO): Periodic discussions have taken place with DfE (as well as ADR UK) in relation to linkage of Next Steps and MCS into the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) dataset which would combine education and economic linkages, into whole population linked data. Legacy data: We have made a substantial contribution to the digitisation of legacy data for research during the grant period. This includes transcription of 10,000 age 11 essays in NCDS, and the NCDS Bristol Social Adjustment Guides, and deposit of BCS70 age 16 dietary diaries. Survey methods, applied statistical methods: Survey methods: Maintaining high response rates in our surveys, and thereby minimising attrition, has been a key aim for our survey design and implementation, with target response rates met in all our achieved fieldwork data collections. We have developed innovative practices on a range of survey approaches to measurement including collecting record linkage consents, event histories, cognitive measures, bio-measures, retrospective data, and a range of new data collection technologies. On mode we have innovated in our approach to mode in all of our recent surveys and have published extensively on this, including work using randomised experiments and rich covariate adjustment to identify cross-sectional mode effects in NCDS and Next Steps. Applied statistical methods: Missing data: we have shown that by capitalising on the rich life course data in the CLS cohorts we are able to reduce bias due to selective attrition and restore sample representativeness, and we have made available detailed guidance on how to make non-response adjustments, using a variety of methods, including through multiple imputation and inverse probability weighting in NCDS and Next Steps on the CLS website, as well as through missing data training events that have proved very popular with our users. Our measurement work has focused on reducing bias employing a variety of test equating methods such as harmonisation and calibration, as well as statistical approaches such as latent variable measurement models to establish between and within cohort equivalent measures. Communications and impact: Communicating with study members: We launched new websites for all four studies and increased our use of social media (we now have Facebook pages and Twitter accounts for BCS70, Next Steps and MCS, and Instagram accounts for Next Steps and MCS). As well as sending annual postal mailings to update study members on findings from the studies, we have undertaken special activities for significant anniversaries:.a special commemorative book and short film bringing together study members, researchers, and policymaker perspectives to mark 60 years of NCDS; a year-long social media campaign with a six-part podcast series to mark BCS70's 50th anniversary.. Engaging data users and promoting our resources: We launched a new CLS corporate website in 2018 offering an entirely refreshed content and structure, and improved searchability. We've promoted multiple new data releases to our users through a variety of channels, making good use of our social media, holding focused webinars, and working closely with other organisations in our sector. Large scale events aimed at the scientific community, including a two-day conference in 2018, part of our NCDS at 60 celebrations, plus training (in-person and webinars) have also enabled us to further showcase the study data to researchers. Disseminating findings and generating impact: We successfully published initial findings research on the following major data collections funded through this grant and associated standalone grants, including on MCS at age 14, Next Steps at age 25, MCS at age 17, BCS70 at age 46 (published papers rather than briefings). These initial findings and the wider research based on CLS cohort data has made many important contributions to policy development, both in conceptual impact (shaping policymakers' understanding of key social and public health policy issues), and instrumental impact (informing specific policies and interventions). This has been well demonstrated recently, with two CLS finalists in the ESRC's Celebrating Impact awards (2020): Emla Fitzsimons and Praveetha Patalay's work on adolescent mental health and wellbeing in MCS, drawing largely on initial findings from the Age 14 survey was awarded the ESRC Celebrating Impact Prize Panel's Choice award for the role it played in shaping Public Health England's interventions and policies and influencing discussions in DfE, and DHSC; and work by Matt Brown and Alice Sullivan based on BCS70 at age 42 demonstrating the benefits of reading for reading for pleasure in childhood was a finalist for 'outstanding societal impact' for its widespread influence nationally and internationally on campaigns and initiatives to encourage children's reading. Recent published work on multimorbidity at age 46 in BCS70 also raised a high profile in the media. EXTRACT FROM CLS MID-TERM REVIEW REPORT SUBMITTED SEPT 2017,. TO BE UPDATED AT END OF AWARD, OR AS REQUESTED BY THE FUNDER: Our Centre has delivered on its major commitments for the period 1st April 2015-31st July 2017, including the completion of fieldwork and deposit of data from MCS at age 14 - its most ambitious sweep yet, and Next Steps at age 25, informing on a generation that has faced unique economic and other challenges. The first adult biomedical data collection for BCS70 is underway (co-funded by MRC and the British Heart Foundation), and the age 17 sweep of MCS, co-funded by 10 government departments is preparing for mainstage fieldwork. Co-funding to enable a second adult biomedical sweep for age 60 NCDS, alongside a substantial social survey has been secured. In total we have deposited 43 new datasets at UKDS for use by researchers since April 2015. We have committed considerable effort to our programme of administrative linkages and have made progress in some areas, most notably in negotiations with data controllers NHS Digital, NHS in Scotland, HMRC, and MOJ (in relation to health, economic, and police records). At a strategic level, two significant issues stand out. First, onward sharing: we are yet to sign data sharing agreements that allow onward sharing with any data controllers other than DfE, though some are anticipated soon. Second, we are actively developing further links with ADRN. New geographic identifiers for our studies have been deposited and this is an active area for development. A priority for this Centre has been to deliver on our methods and substantive research programmes. In addition to our active survey methods work, we have developed a new applied statistical methods research programme which is now delivering its first findings on handling missing data in NCDS, and further work on missing data, measurement error and causal inference is planned. The CLS 'Cross-cohort research programme' (CCRP) is producing research on health and social mobility, and has contributed to capacity building and impact for the studies. Our knowledge exchange activities support all stages of the data collection cycle. User-consultations for the MCS at age 17 and NCDS at age 60 sweeps attracted submissions and participation from a strong balance of academics, policymakers, and practitioners. Co-funding by government departments has also ensured the inclusion of policy-relevant content into the study sweeps. We have also deepened our academic collaborations which support the continued scientific excellence of the studies and we have raised awareness of the studies internationally. We have worked to raise awareness of our studies among other groups, including by the development of a new computer game about social inequalities and life chances. CLS studies have been frequently in the press, and the senior CLS team have engaged actively with policymakers on a range of policy issues. Examples of our studies' impact include in policies on obesity, grammar schools, primary schools admissions (summer-borns), and reading for pleasure. Training and capacity building is core to the mission of CLS. We have developed new online as well as in-person training and refreshed all our training materials. We are active contributors to undergraduate (Q-step) and masters teaching programmes, and during the period of review we have supervised 18 doctoral students, including 2 new CLS PhD studentships attached to the Resource Centre grant. CLS are partners in the new 'Soc-B' biosocial centre for doctoral training. We have hosted 5 A-Level students via the Nuffield Foundation summer placement scheme, and 4 CCRP interns at masters and doctoral level have contributed directly to our research programme. Going forward, we will deliver on the remaining objectives of the Centre and associated grants, including: to finalise current fieldwork (BCS70 at age 46), and conduct new fieldwork (MCS at age 17, NCDS at age 60). To undertake initial scientific development for Next Steps at age 30, BCS70 at age 50. To finalise onward sharing agreements and deposit linked administrative data, and to enhance our geographic linkages. To publish and disseminate research on survey and applied statistical methods. To deliver research and disseminate findings on all 7 CCRP projects. To launch the new CLS website, promote 'Initial Findings' for all new data collections, including imminently on MCS at age 14, and to promote NCDS through celebration of its 60th birthday in 2018, and to prepare for the 50th birthday of BCS70 in 2020. Our case for the CLS Resource Centre beyond 2020 is based on the scientific and policy contribution which the studies will make, in a currently rapidly changing society, and political context. The increasing availability of a wide range of new types of data, and technological innovations in data collection methods also provide opportunities for the cohorts to evolve in important ways. Training, capacity building and impact will remain central. |

| Description | EXTRACT FROM CLS MID-TERM REVIEW REPORT, SEPT 2017. TO BE UPDATED AT END OF PROJECT, OR AS REQUESTED BY ESRC: A core objective of the CLS Resource Centre is to maximise the economic, societal and scientific impact of the cohort studies, and this is underpinned by CLS' Impact and Communications Strategy. Our activities fall into two types: • Resource: The primary activity of the CLS Resource Centre is in the early stages of the impact process, through the scientific development and collection of high quality, policy-relevant data for research, which we make available, and promote for widespread use by researchers in the UK and worldwide. • Research: By building CLS' research programme and profile we are now increasingly engaging in the full- life cycle of the impact process, producing our own scientific outputs and working in partnership to disseminate these and bring about change. Developing scientific and policy-relevant study content A central means for developing the content of our studies and maximising future impact is through user consultation. This is designed to ensure that the studies will meet user needs, both from an academic and end-user (policy, third sector, practitioner) perspective. During the period of review we have held two extensive user consultations, consisting both of online submissions, and well-attended user conferences (MCS, November 2015; NCDS, July 2016). Both consultations attracted a strong balance of inputs across academic, policy-maker, and third sector stakeholders. Co-funding by government departments further ensures that study content is policy-relevant and will have impact. For MCS at age 17, a range of co-funding government departments and devolved administrations provided detailed input into questionnaire content at several stages of its design, including before and after each of the two pilots. This included giving us detailed advice on the range of education and training choices that open up across the UK post-16, so that new divergences in activity can be captured accurately at this critical stage. For NCDS at age 60, DWP have given detailed input into the design of the pensions module, so that policy questions in relation to new 'pensions freedoms' affecting this age group can be addressed. A priority of the CLS Resource Centre 2015-2020 has been to deepen our academic collaborations in the development of content for all sweeps. For MCS age 17 and NCDS age 60, we adopted a new model, appointing an expert scientific panel to support the PI in the development of the questionnaire. We have also deepened our biomedical collaborations, fulfilling an explicit priority for this Centre, and we are now working closely with Prof Mark Hamer (co-PI on BCS70 age 46); Profs David Batty, and Alun Hughes (co-PIs on NCDS age 60), alongside a wider group of biomedical co-investigators. Promoting awareness and knowledge of the studies in the UK and worldwide We are in communication with an extensive and growing network of existing and potential users, including registrants on our website, followers on social media channels, downloaders of our data, attendees of our events (including training workshops, and consultations), and personal contacts. Developments in our promotional activities include: Re-branding of CLS, and new website in development: in November 2015 we completed a new visual branding for CLS (which is a sub-brand of the UCL Institute of Education), including a new logo, and modernisation of our Powerpoint template, and other print and online materials. A major communications project of this Resource Centre is the full redevelopment of the CLS website, now underway and near completion. (See Annex 8). Promotion of the studies with non-academic stakeholders: Our senior team actively promotes the CLS studies and their wider use outside HE, through a variety of invited presentations and meetings. Examples include a presentation by Alice Sullivan to the Cabinet Office on how cohort studies contribute to policy making (2015); by Alissa Goodman and Meghan Rainsberry at John Lewis (about the CLS studies and the changing workforce, 2016), at the Digital and Future Cities Catapults (2016); by Alissa Goodman at the House of Commons Library and the Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology (2017), and in small group meetings at Resolution Foundation (2016), Education Policy Institute (2017). Development of a computer game to promote awareness of the CLS studies: During 2016 we developed and launched a new computer game, JACOB, about social inequalities and life chances, to investigate whether there is public appetite to engage with research in a game format, and to tap into a potentially very large market of gamers worldwide. Since its launch on the Steam Platform, more than 6,558 people from 113 countries have played the game. The premise of JACOB was well-received by the gaming community, but the gameplay and graphics were criticised. The project was developed within tight time constraints and highlighted the need for a design which can compete with commercial alternatives. User analytics: We have worked with UK Data Service to improve our feed of user statistics, enabling us to compile a new database of downloads since 2009, which is updated monthly. We are now using these data to identify areas of opportunity for expanding our user base. A similar exercise is underway to systematically review our publications. Sharing findings from our study data and influencing public policy Media relations form a core part of our communications strategy. Examples of our media coverage achieved include: The association between lifelong partnership status and midlife health: Prof George Ploubidis' research using NCDS showed that middle-aged men and women who have experienced separation, divorce and remarriage are as healthy as couples in stable marriages. This was discussed on the ITV chat show Loose Women, Radio Five Live, and LBC, and appeared in The Times, Telegraph, Daily Mail, and The Sun as well as Times of India, Illawarra Mercury (Australia) and New Zealand Herald websites. It was discussed on the NHS Choices' website 'behind the headlines' section, and on some law and health insurance websites. (June 2015) State school pupils' pay disadvantage: Prof Alice Sullivan's research using data from BCS70, revealed that better academic performance and entry to higher-ranking universities are the main reasons why pupils who attended private school went on to earn more than their state school peers. The research received coverage in the Times (print and online), Daily Telegraph (print and online), the Independent (online) and TES (online). (November 2015) Mental health and well-being among children: We produced our first infographics, exploring factors related to mental illness and wellbeing among 11-year-olds, based on research using MCS by Praveetha Patalay and Emla Fitzsimons, from the Cross Cohort Research programme. The infographics were launched in a blog for the What Works Centre for Wellbeing on 10 October 2016, World Mental Health Day, and were shared widely on social media. Psychological distress on the rise for younger generations: A paper by CLS researchers, published in October 2016, examined data from both NCDS and BCS70 to reveal that the 1970 generation were more likely than the 1958 generation to experience poor mental health by the time they reached middle age, particularly men. The research picked up coverage in the Times (print and online), Independent (online) and the Daily Mail (online). Health risks of moderate alcohol consumption: In a collaboration between CLS and Pennsylvania State University, research analysing data from NCDS on drinking habits from age 23 to 55 found that the health benefits from moderate drinking may have previously been overstated. The results, published in May 2017, were reported by a variety of health news sites, including Science Daily, Science Newsline, Futurity, Healio and Health Medicine Network. Continuing education post-16: Does what you study at GCSE matter? CLS research using Next Steps data found that students taking vocational GCSEs were less likely to stay on to do A-levels and less likely to take 'facilitating' A-levels favoured by the most prestigious universities. Coverage included The Independent (online), Schools Week, TES and various regional newspapers. Professor Alice Sullivan gave an interview to Sky News Radio which supplies the news to almost every commercial radio station in the UK. Zero-hours contracts: In July 2017 we promoted initial findings from the Next Steps age 25 sweep through a series of briefings. One of these briefings revealed an association between zero-hours contracts and young people's mental health. We secured national media headlines (Times, Guardian, Metro, Independent, and Mirror, and BBC 3 and ITV websites). Jeremy Corbyn referred to the findings in Prime Minister's Questions. Research by academics outside of CLS using CLS cohorts has also received substantial press attention, for example: • Work on parental separation using MCS data (Lucinda Platt) which found that the majority of fathers continue to see their child after separation. • Work on childhood bullying using NCDS data (Louise Arsenault) showing victims are more likely to be overweight or obese as adults and have a higher risk of developing serious illnesses. • Work on out of school activities using MCS data (Emily Tanner) showed that taking part in organised sports and after school clubs can help to improve primary school children's academic performance and social skills. • Work on Scouts and Guides participation using NCDS data (Chris Dibben) which found that joining scouts or guides as a child may lower risk of mental illness in adulthood attracted widespread attention, including from Chief Scout Bear Grylls who tweeted about the research to his 1.35m followers. • The Life Project (by Helen Pearson) generated widespread positive reviews and features about the CLS studies and their findings. It was named best science book of the year by The Observer and was a book of the year for The Economist. Helen Pearson's TED talk in Vancouver on 8th April 2017 heavily cited research using the CLS studies. Impact events and examples Tackling bullying of LGBT people: On 9 November 2015, we held a seminar on the long-term effects of bullying, in partnership with the Anti-Bullying Alliance, showcasing research from all four CLS studies. Around 130 delegates attended from across the public, third and private sectors, and the general public. A press release on new CLS research using Next Steps gained coverage in the London Evening Standard, Huffington Post and Pride Life (largest gay UK news outlet). Evidence of impact included Buckinghamshire County Council distributed event materials at their E-Safety Conference. The Headmaster of Brighton College used the findings in an op-ed piece for the Telegraph and in a keynote speech for the school's Homophobic Bullying Conference. Childhood mental health: On 11 November 2015, the Early Intervention Foundation and the Centre for Mental Health held an event for around 50 delegates including high-level representatives from central and local government, and the third sector, which showcased new findings by CLS researchers from MCS and BCS70. Reading for pleasure: On 23 February 2016 we hosted an event about reading for pleasure, for pupils, parents and teachers at a London primary school. This event built on our previous work to promote the value of reading for pleasure, taking our findings to a wider, public audience. CLS' Alice Sullivan and Sam Parsons spoke at the event, which included workshops with three children's authors. Around 200 staff, parents and children attended and feedback was excellent. As one parent commented, "What a brilliant event I have learnt so much and am inspired to read more with my child". Attitudes to retirement: Alissa Goodman gave two seminars at DWP (in May of 2016 and 2017) to present research on retirement attitudes in NCDS, from a project funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. These seminars have helped inform work within DWP on the effects of persistent poverty and low income, the acceptability of previous rises State Pension age (SPa), and potential implications for low income groups of raising the SPa further in the future. Government's childhood obesity action plan: Evidence from CLS studies informed the Government's childhood obesity action plan, published in August 2016. It cited research using MCS, BCS70, and NCDS alongside other cohorts showing that children born since 1990 are 3 times more likely than older generations to be overweight or obese by age 10; it also cited MCS research showing the poorest 5-year-olds are twice as likely to be obese compared to children from better-off homes. Grammar schools: Evidence from CLS studies on the effects of school selection may have influenced the decision to drop plans for extending grammar schools after the June 2017 election. Alice Sullivan and colleagues contributed to a POSTbrief on grammar schools (December 2016), and cohort data was prominent in the Evidence Check commissioned by the House of Commons Education Committee (February 2017). During the 2017 election campaign, Dr Alice Sullivan was interviewed by BBC News in April 2017 about Conservative election plans to extend grammar schools. She wrote a blog, which was reported by BBC online. Summer born children: Evidence from MCS that summer born children are disadvantaged in multiple ways by primary school admissions policies, including in terms of confidence and self-esteem, was cited in Select Committee evidence, which in turn influenced changes to the rules to allow those with birthdays between April and August to start reception at age of 5, rather than 4, by parental choice. Direct links with policymakers: Policy impact depends on building relationships, and CLS has close ties with analysts and policy civil servants. Our senior team provide frequent advice on policies under development, including since 2015: • Alissa Goodman and Heather Joshi visited DfE on separate occasions to advise on 'character education' in 2015 • Alissa Goodman provided advice to the Life Chances strategy led by DWP (in group and individual meetings) in 2016 • Alissa Goodman took part in a small expert roundtable on social mobility with Education Secretary Greening in 2016 • Alissa Goodman met with officials from the Social Mobility Commission 3 times in 2016, and in 2017 • Alissa Goodman met with the head of the DfE Social Mobility team Gila Sacks in 2017 CCRP impact partnerships: Each CCRP project has been paired with one or more non-academic 'impact partners' in order to maximise the impact of the work, and we are now working directly with partners including the National Children's Bureau, Public Health England, the Mental Health Foundation, the Social Mobility Commission, Institute of Alcohol Studies, and Runnymede Trust to develop research questions, and disseminate findings. |

| Impact | According to the Warwick consortium responsible tor the Evaluation till 2020 at least: All sites, at the time of this profiling exercise, had significantly increased their provision since 2017, and were offering better coverage in terms of the type of services being provided to target the three main outcomes of the programme. They were offering a much extended programme of workforce training and were also employing a range of different approaches to expand their community workforce. At this midway point, we can conclude that there has been considerable progress by ABS sites in the development and delivery of services. |

The reasons this data had not previously been deposited and is accessed separately from the main survey data are described in detail in the user guide, though it should be noted this data is in a somewhat 'raw' format. As online dietary diaries were completed as part of the age 46 survey, the resource will provide opportunities for longitudinal comparisons and the number of participants (4,760) give a large degree of statistical power The study includes data for both food groups and nutrients recorded. |

| Title | Cohort and Longitudinal Studies Enhancement Resources. (2022). Harmonised Mental Health Measures at Age 10/11 in Selected British Cohorts: |
| Description | This data deposit is an outcome of a CLOSER funded project (CLOSER Work Package 20) that aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the existing measures of mental ill-health in six British cohorts, and explore the feasibility of harmonising these scales within and across the studies. The cohorts included in the overall project were: • 1946 MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD) • 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS) • 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) • Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) • Next Steps • Millennium Cohort Study (MCS As part of this project, we explored the equivalence of overlapping parent-report measures of mental ill-health. This particular work was focussed on NCDS, BCS70, ALSPAC and MCS when cohort members were aged approximately 10-11 years. NSHD was not part of this work as only teacher-report measures were available, and at later ages, for this cohort. Similarly, Next Steps was not part of this work as assessment age did not overlap with the other cohorts |

| Title | MCS 4-6: Linked Points of Interest (NEW) |
| Description | Millennium Cohort Study: Linkage with the Point of Interest Data. MCS4, MCS5 and MCS6 data were linked to the Points of Interest (PoI) data to characterise the physical environment around cohort member residences at the moment of the interview. GIS methods were used together with the Ordnance Survey Integrated Transport Network (ITN) data to create buffers around cohort member's residences. Counts of points of interest, e.g., supermarkets, convenience stores, and others, were created within 400, 800 and 1,600 metres buffers. The categories defined by the PoI data were used to aggregate information, and new categories were derived for specific food outlets. |

| Title | MCS Sweep 7, 2018 |
| Description | Millennium Cohort Study: Seventh Survey, 2018 The seventh sweep of the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS7) was carried out when the cohort members were 17 years old. As 17 is a key transitional age, the sweep purposefully focused on engaging with the cohort members themselves (in addition to their parents). MCS7 marks an important transitional time in the cohort members' lives, where educational and occupational paths can diverge significantly. It is also an important age in data collection terms since it may be the last sweep at which parents are interviewed and it is an age when direct engagement with the cohort members themselves rather than their families is crucial to the long term viability of the study. To reflect this, face-to-face interviews with the cohort members have been conducted for the first time. Cohort members were also asked to do a range of other activities including filling in a self-completion questionnaire on the interviewer's tablet, completing a cognitive assessment (number activity) and having their height, weight and body fat measurements taken. In addition, they were asked to complete a short online questionnaire after the visit |

| Title | NCDS - Computational Linguistics and Clinical Psychology Shared Task |
| Description | NCDS - Data for the Computational Linguistics and Clinical Psychology Shared Task, 2018. PIs: Stony Brook University (United States) and University College London, UCL Institute of Education, Centre for Longitudinal Studies. Data for the Computational Linguistics and Clinical Psychology Shared Task, 2018 contains the outputs of the shared task for the CLPsych 2018 workshop, which focused on predicting current and future psychological health from an essay authored in childhood. Language-based predictions of a person's current health have the potential to supplement traditional psychological assessment such as questionnaires, improving intake risk measurement and monitoring. Predictions of future psychological health can aid with both early detection and the development of preventative care. Research into the mental health trajectory of people, beginning from their childhood, has thus far been an area of little work within the neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) community. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2019 |

| Impact | This shared task represented one of the first attempts to evaluate the use of early language to predict future health; this has the potential to support a wide variety of clinical health care tasks, from early assessment of lifetime risk for mental health problems, to optimal timing for targeted interventions aimed at both prevention and treatment. |

| Results and Impact | The paper presented explores Private Schooling in England. With approximately three times the resources per pupil in private, compared with state schools, Britain's private sector presents an interesting case of what could be expected from schools that are extremely well resourced. This paper studies the links between private schooling and educational performance in upper secondary school, as measured through their performance in 'A level', the main school-leaving assessment which determines access to universities. Using data from the Next Steps survey of pupils born in 1989/90, we find evidence that, compared with otherwise observably similar state school students in upper secondary education and controlling for prior attainment, those at private school study 27 percent more 'facilitating' subjects, which are known to be favoured by high-status universities; they are placed 8 percentage points higher in the A level rankings (this could be equivalent to the difference between a student with AAB to a student with AAA) and 11 percentage points higher in the rankings for 'facilitating' A levels (this could be equivalent to the difference between a student with ABB to a student with AAA). We find no evidence of a private school advantage for ever attending any university but some evidence of a private school advantage for attending an elite university. Taken together with earlier studies at primary and lower secondary education levels, our findings mean that private schooling in Britain is associated with modest but cumulative advantages at all stages of education from primary onwards. |

| Results and Impact | To celebrate 50 years of the 1970 British Cohort Study, CLS launched '50 stories in 50 weeks', programme of digital content or 'stories' to run from the birth week for 52 weeks (with a two-week break at Christmas) through Twitter, BCS70 Facebook group, the participant website and CLS website. The campaign followed a loose chronological order from 1970 onwards, with each 2-3 month period focussed on a decade, the corresponding sweeps in the study and life stage of the study participants. The content for each week included personal stories (case studies about study members), data stories (on interesting features of the data or survey design), impact stories (about influential research) and podcast interviews (with important people who have been involved in the study/analysed the data). At the end of each decade, sweeps and political/cultural events were marked by an animated timeline. On the corporate website, the '50 stories in 50 weeks' campaign reached 3,494 unique pageviews over the period, and on the BCS70 participant website, the campaign accounted for 22% of all unique pageviews over the period (4,738 out of 21,395). '50 stories in 50 weeks' tweets on the CLS Twitter channel reached 5,347 impressions and 84 engagements per tweet on average over the period April 2020-February 2021, with an average engagement rate 1.56%. The average for all tweets over the same period was an engagement rate of 1.22%, and 3,963 impressions and 28 engagements per tweet. This means that tweets published as part of the 50 stories in 50 weeks campaign so far have had, on average, 35% more impressions (views), 3 times as much engagement (likes, retweets, comments, link clicks) and a 28% higher engagement rate (proportion of people who viewed the tweet who then engaged with it) compared to the average over the same period. On the BCS70 participant Facebook page, posts published as part of the '50 stories in 50 weeks' campaign also did very well, with an average reach of 660 and 83 engagements per post - which is extremely positive for a Facebook page with 947 followers. |

The experiences of more than 7,200 young adults from across England who were born in 1989-90 are examined. At age 20, the young adults were asked about their sexual identity and whether they had been bullied in the previous 12 months and during secondary school. The findings show that young LGB adults had a 52 per cent chance of having been bullied in the past year at age 20, compared to a 38 per cent chance for their heterosexual peers, after taking into account other characteristics that may make someone more likely to be targeted, such as gender, ethnicity, disability, or family socioeconomic background. The situation had improved slightly since their school years. Between the ages of 14 and 16, young people who later went on to identify as LGB had a 56 per cent chance of having been bullied in the past year, compared to a 45 per cent chance for their heterosexual peers. Moreover LGB young people were at considerably greater risk of being bullied frequently - that is, once or more every fortnight - during secondary school. LGB young people were found to be more than twice as likely as their heterosexual classmates to be regularly physically bullied and excluded from social groups. This paper also examines the association between being bullied and life satisfaction: the findings show that by the time they reached age 20, young LGB adults were less likely than their heterosexual peers to report being "very satisfied" with how their lives had turned out so far. However, all young adults - regardless of sexual identity - were less likely to be very satisfied with their lives if they had been bullied. In summary, although all people are less likely to be bullied as they get older, young LGB adults remain at higher risk than their peers. These findings suggest that in order to tackle the problem, anti-bullying interventions cannot be focused only at schools and their pupils. Policymakers, employers, further education institutions and others working with young adults need to do just as much in order to challenge discrimination at all ages. |

| Results and Impact | Mental health and wellbeing in the Millennium Cohort Study, Professor Emla Fitzsimons Using data from the Millennium Cohort Study, we will report on the prevalence of mental ill-health through childhood, from age 3, and into early adolescence, age 14. We will focus on the transition of symptoms between age 11 and 14 years, a key transitional stage of pubertal development, coinciding also with the important move from primary to secondary school. We will present a range of relevant correlates of different transition experiences, including bullying, pubertal age, socio-economic position, family stability etc. We will also investigate correlates of both mental illness and wellbeing in adolescence, and thereby the extent to which these two concepts - often considered to be two ends of the same spectrum - overlap or differ. 'From adolescence to early adulthood: longitudinal analysis of probable mental ill health', Dr Morag Henderson This analysis will make use of the new age 25 data from the Next Steps cohort of young people born in 1989/1990. This presentation will explore mental ill health longitudinally and will examine correlates of adolescent mental ill health (at age 14 and 16) and their association with mental ill health at age 25. It will also identify the correlates of recovery from adolescent mental ill health and explore what predicts prolonged incidence of mental ill health symptoms and 'recovery'. Moreover the question of how adolescent mental ill health is associated with social outcomes at age 25 will be answered, including labour market outcomes, life satisfaction, family form ation and drug use. 'Early childhood parenting type and adolescent mental health problems', Dr Aase Villadsen Several factors have been shown to contribute the development of childhood and adolescent mental health problems. However, family environment and parenting are highlighted as especially influential, with the period of early childhood being regarded as formative years that continue to shape outcomes later in life. The well-known typology of parenting of Baumrind - authoritative, permissive, authoritarian, uninvolved - is based on configurations of high and low parental responsiveness and demandingness. The authoritative parenting type, characterised by high levels of warmth and high structure, is regarded as optimal in terms of child functioning. A number of previous studies have confirmed this; although these have largely examined concurrent or short-term associations between parenting types and child functioning. Very little is known about the relationship between parenting types and children's longer-term adjustment, which we study here. Using data from the Millennium Cohort Study we examine parenting types in early childhood (age 3) and their longitudinal prediction of mental health difficulties in early adolescence (age 14). |

| Results and Impact | I acted as part of the advisory group for the project that Public Health England (PHE) commissioned the London School of Economics to undertake a literature review and multivariate analysis of the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) data to identify factors during pregnancy, infancy and the early years and their association with a broad range of outcomes for children aged 5 7 and 11 years. They are considering four outcome domains: health; behaviour; cognitive outcomes; and social and peer outcomes. The measures to be used for each of the outcomes for each of these domains are: • Health: overweight/ obesity / BMI (measured at all sweeps from age 3 to age 11) • Behaviour: Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and its subscales (measured at all sweeps from age 3 to age 11) • Cognitive and educational outcomes: the various cognitive assessments implemented at the different sweeps, from age 3 to age 11; plus linked National Pupil Database (NPD) Key Stage 2 (KS2) scores at age 11. • Social and peer outcomes: bullying (as reported by child at ages 7 and 11); peer problems subscale from the SDQ (as reported by parent at all sweeps from age 3 to age 11). This is an intensive piece of work and I am seeking your support to join an Advisory Group to help to oversee the development of this work and to monitor progress. The commitment involved: • Review the draft literature review between 14 and 17 March 2016. • Participate in an Advisory Group meeting 17 March 2016 to sign off literature review. Time to be arranged • Review PREview scoping report + analytical plan 4 between 4 April and 7 April 2016 • Participate in Advisory Group meeting 7 April 2016 for presentation of analytical PREview scoping report + sign off of analytical plan. Time to be arranged • Review draft report between 27 April and 6 May 2016 • Participate in Advisory Group 6 May 2016 to sign off final report. Time to be arranged I appreciate the timescales for this work are ambitious but I would really appreciate your support to ensure we can deliver this work |

| Results and Impact | Based upon information from the Millennium Cohort Study our research shows that when 11-year-old girls are asked about their dream jobs, they tend to think of ones where the current workforce is predominantly made of women, while boys set their sights on jobs that are largely carried out by men. We've created animations and classroom resources aimed at primary school pupils 7-11 years old, and at young people aged 11-14. The animations and classroom resources are designed to inspire and challenge pupils to consider the effects of gender bias on the choices they make for their careers. During 2019 we are hoping to pilot the animations and classroom resources with teachers, career advisers and pupils to see if they might be of value as a learning resource for schools across the country. |

With participants reminiscing about their involvement in the study, they also tell us what it's been like to grow up, learn, work, love and reach middle age in modern Britain. We hear from the academics and staff who have driven the study forward, and the researchers whose findings have influenced public policy and scientific debate. We also speak to the policymakers and politicians whose thinking has been shaped by the study's most important discoveries. The series was very popular, totalling nearly 9,000 listens. |

| Results and Impact | Does traditional grammar instruction improve children's writing ability? Posted on July 5, 2016 Alice Sullivan and Dominic Wyse. "Children in England have recently taken their statutory tests at age 10-11 (commonly known as Key Stage 2 SATs). The results, published today, show that the pass rate has plummeted compared to last year. This is because the nature of the tests changed dramatically in 2016. We focus here on why the new English tests have been so difficult for children to pass - and why most parents would struggle to pass the tests too." |

| Results and Impact | If I asked you what makes a child happy, one possible answer would be the opposite of what makes them sad. This would be considered a non-controversial response. The intuitive assumption when considering subjective wellbeing and psychological distress is that factors associated with one are associated with the other - albeit in the opposite direction. But what if we're wrong? What if wellbeing and mental illness, or happy and sad, are not two sides of the same mental health coin? In this blog for World Mental Health Day, Dr Praveetha Patalay examines the factors that influence children's mental illness and wellbeing using the Millennium Cohort Study. The blog appeared on the What Works for Wellbeing blog, and was cross-posted to the IOE London blog and the CLS website. |

| Results and Impact | A blog summarising the research from the 'First in Family' work using Next Steps. We use 'Next Steps', a longitudinal sample of English children born in 1990, who entered sixth form in 2006. They were followed every year through their secondary schooling and again later in early adulthood at age 25. The longitudinal nature of the data allows us to control in a detailed way for the children's family background, income, and their prior attainment in order to isolate the association between parental education and their child's education. We find that: FiF young people make up 18 percent of a recent cohort in England, comprising nearly two-thirds of all university graduates Comparing individuals with no parental higher education, ethnic minorities and those with higher levels of prior attainment are more likely to experience intergenerational educational mobility and become a FiF Once at university, those who are FiF are more likely to study Law, Economics and Management and less likely to study other Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities than students whose parents are university graduates FiF students are less likely to study at and graduate from elite universities such as those belonging to the Russell Group, which are considered more prestigious, research intensive institutions FiF have a higher probability of not completing their degree, even after prior educational attainment, individual characteristics and socio-economic status are taken into account |

| Results and Impact | Recent political events have focussed minds on society's deeply rooted inequalities and their long-reaching consequences. The gap between the rich and poor is growing as is the gap between generations - a recent IFS report found that people born in the 1980s had only half the wealth by their early 30s that the generation born ten years earlier had had at the same age. Social mobility is stagnant at best, causing concern across the political spectrum. Problems such as depression and obesity grow apace. How can we best understand and solve these social challenges? In this blog, Prof Alissa Goodman and Prof Alice Sullivan reveal why the answer lies in Britain's rich tradition of cohort studies. |

| Results and Impact | In the lead-up to Anti-Bullying Week 2015, the Centre for Longitudinal Studies and the Anti-Bullying Alliance hosted campaigners, charities, local authorities and others to discuss the latest evidence on how bullying is affecting children and young people. This event was part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, and was hosted by Barclays at their creative space in east London. It was hosted by CLS in collaboration with the Anti-Bullying Alliance. Speakers included Dr Stella Chatzitheochari, University of Warwick (presented research on bullying among children with disabilities); Dr Morag Henderson, CLS (presented research on bullying among sexual minorities); Prof Louise Arseneault, King's College London (presented on the long-term effects of childhood bullying on adult physical and mental health); Kiri Joliffe, Young NCB representative (presented a first-hand account of her experiences being bullied at school); Anna Feuchtwang, Anti-Bullying Alliance (chair). There were just under 140 delegates in attendance: 42 members of the third sector, 28 members of the public sector, 38 academics, 21 members of the general public, and 9 others. Following the presentations from academics, the panel (including a young person and members of the Anti-Bullying Alliance team), engaged in a discussion with the audience. Delegates gave this event an average of 8/10 on satisfaction, and a 8.5/10 on relevance. Following the event, a PGCE Programme Leader from the UCL Institute of Education requested more information on the research to inform teacher training on equality and diversity. CLS also had requests for further information from Buckinghamshire County Council, The Theatre Centre (empowering young leadership and youth activism through the arts), and members of the public. Following the event, the Founder and President of Red Balloon Learner Centres asked to collaborate on future bullying work. Following the event, a delegate from Buckinghamshire County Council requested 100 copies of all event materials to distribute to delegates at the Council's upcoming E-Safety Conference for students and professionals working with children and young people. Our co-hosts, the Anti-Bullying Alliance, have asked us to run a joint seminar every year in advance of Anti-Bully |

| Results and Impact | The aim of the series is to highlight methodological innovations and expertise and in turn facilitate and encourage future collaborations and new research. The fifth seminar in the CLOSER Longitudinal Methodology Series features talks from Dick Wiggins, Professor in Quantitative Social Science at the UCL Institute of Education, and Lisa Calderwood, Principal Investigator of Next Steps (previously known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England) and the Senior Survey Manager at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies. Dr Lisa Calderwood The prevention of non-response in longitudinal surveys: an overview of the literature and some ideas for future research This presentation is about the prevention of unit non-response in longitudinal surveys through improving survey practice. I will give a brief overview of the relevant theoretical and empirical literature on non-response in longitudinal surveys covering all of the main sources of non-response i.e. location, contact and co-operation and focusing primarily on evidence from major face-to-face longitudinal surveys in the UK. Recent developments such as the use of para-data, adaptive or response designs and targeted response inducement strategies will be discussed. I will highlight some gaps in our knowledge and suggest some ideas for future research and practice. Professor Dick Wiggins Co-author: Tarek Mostafa The impact of attrition and non-response in birth cohort studies: a need to incorporate missingness strategies This paper reveals the need to incorporate strategies to handle missing data by revealing the extent of attrition in the 1970 British Birth Cohort Study (BCS70) and how it affects sample composition over time. To begin with we illustrate the construction of inverse probability weights (IPWs) to adjust for the unit non-response. Secondly, we illustrate the impact of using IPWs and multiple imputation (MI) for an artificially constructed set of patterns of missingness for a substantive research question. Our findings show that when the predictive power of the response models is weak, the efficacy of using IPWs is undermined. Further, MI is effective in reducing the bias resulting from item missingness when the magnitude of the bias is high and the imputation models are well specified. We recorded the two presenations and they are available on the project website. The recorded videos and the webpage has been viewed several times. The event itself also generated a lot of interesting discussions. |

| Results and Impact | Longitudinal data across the life course: an introduction to using cohort data 14 March 2018 Cardiff University Longitudinal data are a powerful resource for addressing a wide range of scientific questions in various social, health, political and geographical sciences. For example, what determines health across life? How has social mobility changed? What determines voting preferences? This workshop will give both first-time and more experienced data users an insight into four of the UK's internationally-renowned cohort studies run by the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS): • 1958 National Child Development Study; • 1970 British Cohort Study; • Millennium Cohort Study; • Next Steps (previously known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England). Delegates will be given an introduction to each of the cohort studies as well as further information on how to access and use them. There will also be updates about recent developments in each of the studies, including upcoming new data releases. The session will feature guest speakers who will discuss their use of cohort data across a range of topics such as the role of grandparents, social participation in adulthood, and children's wellbeing. Delegates will also have the opportunity to discuss their own research ideas, gain advice and ask questions over a networking lunch. The workshop will be run by staff from CLS, which is based at the Department of Social Science, UCL Institute of Education. Speakers • David Bann (Research Officer, Centre for Longitudinal Studies) • Stuart Fox (Research Associate, Cardiff University) • Jennifer Hampton (Research Assistant, WISERD) • Morag Henderson (Co-Investigator of Next Steps, Centre for Longitudinal Studies) • Vanessa Moulton (Research Associate, Centre for Longitudinal Studies) Provisional programme outline 10:30 Welcome 10:35 Introduction to the cohort studies David Bann, Morag Henderson, Vanessa Moulton 11:35 Tea and coffee 12:00 Interdisciplinary research examples Grandparent involvement in children's lives Jennifer Hampton Studying Social Participation in middle age using the National Child Development Study Stuart Fox From adolescence to early adulthood: longitudinal analysis of probable mental ill health Morag Henderson 13:00 Lunch and discussion |

| Results and Impact | In 2021-22, we saw profile visits and mentions increase, and passed the 6,000 followers mark. Engagement with our posts was down compared to last year, however this is most likely because our content in 2020-21 was higher than usual due to extra posts about the BCS70 50th anniversary and the cross-cohort COVID surveys. Unsurprisingly, the social media content that had the greatest engagement was related to the Duchess of Cambridge's visit to the IOE. Live tweets that were published during the Health Foundation event in September also attracted lots of attention, and content promoting the first in family online event just before Christmas also garnered great interest. |

| Results and Impact | The CLS website showcases the latest research based on the cohort studies, and serves as a valuable resource to data users across career stages, disciplines and stages of research. Visitors to the CLS website were up 33% in 2021-22, compared to the previous year. While users are predominantly from the UK, we continued to see a growing number of international users, particularly from China and the US. The study landing pages continue to be the most visited content on the site, however the Covid-19 survey landing page was among the top 5 most-visited page this year. In the past year, most visitors either came to our site from a search engine (46%) or directly (40%). Nearly 12% of users were referred from another website - usually one of our partners (UCL, UKDS, etc), but referrals from the BBC were up significantly, largely due to the news article on multimorbidity featuring a prominent link to the BCS70 landing page. This BBC article also drove a huge spike in overall visits to the site on the day it was published. |

| Results and Impact | During the coronavirus pandemic, we have been running a series of surveys to find out about the experiences of the participants in five national longitudinal cohort studies. The aim is to understand the economic, social and health impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, the extent to which the pandemic is widening or narrowing inequalities, and the lifelong factors which shape vulnerability and resilience to its effects. We have completed two waves of the survey so far (in May and September 2020) and a third wave is now underway. Participants in all four of the national longitudinal cohort studies that we manage at CLS, as well as participants in the MRC National Survey of Health and Development, have taken part. Throughout the COVID-19 surveys, we have published briefings, working papers and news items on the corporate channels to engage researchers, policymakers, charities and the general public. Since May 2020, we published 7 briefings and working papers and 9 news items (including 2 press releases) on the CLS website, and 47 tweets on the CLS Twitter channel. We have also published regularly on participant channels to increase participation in the study. We published 8 news items on each of the 4 participant websites (NCDS, BCS70, Next Steps and MCS), as well as 10 Facebook posts (on each Facebook page: BCS70, Next Steps and MCS) and 10 tweets (on each Twitter page: Next Steps and MCS). |

| Results and Impact | George Ploubidis, Tarek Mostafa and Brian Dodgeon Missing data handling in longitudinal studies: Evidence for the 1958 British birth cohort. Selection bias, in the form of incomplete or missing data, is unavoidable in longitudinal surveys. It results in smaller samples, incomplete histories, lower statistical power and it is well known that unbiased estimates cannot be obtained without properly addressing the implications of incompleteness. However, statistical methods exist which enable users to exploit the full richness of longitudinal data and address sources of bias. We present the first results from the Centre for Longitudinal Studies Missing Data Strategy using data from the National Child Development Study (NCDS) which follows the lives of 17,416 people born in England, Scotland and Wales in a single week of 1958. Also known as the 1958 Birth Cohort Study, it collects information on physical and educational development, economic circumstances, employment, family life, health behaviour, wellbeing, social participation and attitudes. Since the birth survey in 1958, there have been ten further 'sweeps' of all cohort members at ages 7, 11, 16, 23, 33, 42, 44, 46, 50 and 55. Within Rubin's framework we present three papers where we clarify the situations where complete case analysis and methods that operate under the Missing At Random assumption return unbiased results. We present a three step empirical/data driven approach that maximises the plausibility of the Missing At Random assumption in NCDS and quantify the effect of strong departures from MAR. Our findings have implications for missing data handling in the 1958 cohort and other longitudinal studies as they will help inform the selection of auxiliary variables and allow researchers to effectively communicate the assumptions underlying popular MAR methods such as Multiple Imputation, Full Information Maximum Likelihood and Inverse Probability Weighting. |

| Results and Impact | On 29 November 2018, CLS hosted a conference aimed at government policy-makers, practitioners and academic researchers to showcase the latest longitudinal evidence from the CLS cohorts and what the findings mean for public policy today. The conference was the culmination of a 3-year programme of research, entitled the Cross-Cohort Research Programme. There were 96 delegates mainly from the UK with some attending from abroad. There was significant representation from the public and third sectors, as well as some private sector delegates. Delegates scored the event 8/10 for both satisfaction and relevance on the feedback survey. About the event This one-day event was an opportunity to hear evidence from a major programme of research examining and comparing the lives and experiences of thousands of individuals across the UK, from multiple generations. We shared brand new insights, and asked what these mean for public policy today. Our Cross Cohort Research Programme was a major initiative, using data from our own four cohort studies and other UK studies, to understand how our lives unfold and what can help improve people's chances in life. Incorporating seven projects, the programme has explored many themes relevant to policy makers and practitioners, including: The long-term implications of childhood mental ill health The rising prevalence of obesity The link between parents' wealth and their children's own life chances At this event delegates had the opportunity to: learn about findings from each of the research projects take part in discussions about the policy implications of each project's findings, and meet researchers as well as government policy-makers and representatives from the third sector. |

From September to December 2016, the Department for Education (DfE) ran a consultation on the proposals, which also includes plans to allow new free schools to select up to 100% of pupils based on their faith. I was interviewed by the writer of this POSTbrief which provides a brief overview of methodologically robust studies on state-funded selective schools that select the majority of their intake on academic criteria http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/POST-PB-0022. The POST brief cites CLS work using BCS70 data. |

| Results and Impact | We had a significant presence at the 2015 international conference of the European Survey Research Association in Reykjavik, Iceland. which took place between Monday 13th and Friday 17th July 2015. http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference. It is a large conference lasting 5 days with multiple strands parallel sessions at each time, attended by around 800 academics, professional survey practitioners and post-graduate students from around the world. This is one of the major international survey methodology conferences, which takes place biennially. It was attended by eight members of CLS staff. In total, we delivered and/or co-authored eleven presentations based on the three of our four cohort studies, covering surveying children and young people, collection of time-use and activity monitor data, data linkage, mixed-modes, event history calendars, para-data, DDI and interviewer training. Many of the presentations were joint with the survey agencies we have worked with on the studies (NatCen, IPSOS-MORI and TNS-BMRB). We are also organised seven conference sessions in total on surveying children and young people, collecting time-use data and administrative data linkage. Our presence at ESRA was backed up by a London-based social media strategy which involved tweets from the @clscohorts account to promote the presentations on the cohort studies and the sessions we organised. Two of the staff members also engaged in tweeting at the conference. It total we sent around 150 tweets making us among the top tweeters at the whole conference. This enabled the research to reach far more people, both at the conference and beyond. |

| Results and Impact | Caroline Keim hosted this meeting and presentation at the Department for Education on 26th April 2018. This paper explores the characteristics of a recent generation of 'first in the family' (FiF) university graduates in England using a nationally representative dataset, Next Steps to provide the first comprehensive, descriptive statistics on this group. We identify the proportion of FiF young people at age 25 as compared to their peers who either match their parent's education level (either with degree or without degree) or are downwardly mobile, meaning their parent(s) has a university degree, but they do not. Our results show that that 24 per cent of young people aged 25 in 2015 in England are FiF, comprising nearly two-thirds of all university graduates of this cohort. Comparing groups with no parental higher education we find that ethnic minorities and those with higher levels of prior attainment are more likely to be FiF, and that those who are FiF are more likely to study Law, Economics and Management and less likely to study other Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities than those who are not FiF students. We find evidence that university type varies by FIF status, so too does dropout, where FiF students are at greater risk of dropout, once prior attainment, individual characteristics and socio-economic status are taken into account. Implications for these findings are discussed. |

| Results and Impact | 2 workshops attended with lay participants recruited by the agency Kantar and some other longitudinal data stakeholders in a structured dialogue. One session was for a full weekend day, the second, with the same people was on a weekday evening. The participants were recruited from the London area. Similar workshops held in other regions. The participants were given stimulus material to discuss about the value of longitudinal studies and the public willingness to engage in them. Particular attention was given to how a hypothetical new cohort might be recruited. Results suggest that most people would tolerate the use of administrative data in sampling a cohort study, if there were appropriate reassurances. |

| Results and Impact | Following the ESRC Longitudinal Studies Review, ESRC concluded that there is a need for public engagement over procedures that could improve selection of people into longitudinal studies, foster their continued participation and mechanisms to improve coverage of vulnerable and marginalised groups. Peter Elias, along with Kantar Public, designed a series of dialogue workshops at which various ideas to tackle these issues were elaborated and discussed. My role was to represent the Millennium Cohort Study at the two workshops in Newcastle, which involved giving a presentation describing the study, and being an active participant in discussions with members of the public concerning recruitment to and retention in such studies, and in particular to elicit views concerning adminstrative record use and linkage. |

| Results and Impact | Young people's mental health and wellbeing has become a prominent social issue in recent months, receiving high-profile attention from the royal family and political parties. This seminar will present civil servants at the Department of Health and Public Health England with the most recent findings on the state of mental health and wellbeing among two important generations of Britons: those born in 2000-01, and 1989-90. Prof Emla Fitzsimons will present findings from the Millennium Cohort Study on the prevalence of mental ill health from age 3 to 14, focusing on the crucial age 11-14 period, when puberty is underway and children move from primary to secondary school. The findings will show the relationships between mental illness and other areas of life, including bullying, pubertal age, socioeconomic position, and family stability. Prof Fitzsimons will also explore the differences between mental illness and wellbeing at this critical age. Dr Morag Henderson will present findings from new age 25 data from Next Steps on the prevalence of mental ill health from adolescence through to early adult life. The findings will also cover how adolescent mental illness is associated with outcomes at age 25, including general health, BMI, educational qualifications, and employment. |

| Results and Impact | On 29 November 2018, CLS hosted a conference aimed at government policy-makers, practitioners and academic researchers to showcase the latest longitudinal evidence from the CLS cohorts and what the findings mean for public policy today. The conference was the culmination of a 3-year programme of research, entitled the Cross-Cohort Research Programme. There were 96 delegates mainly from the UK with some attending from abroad. There was significant representation from the public and third sectors, as well as some private sector delegates. Delegates scored the event 8/10 for both satisfaction and relevance on the feedback survey. About the event This one-day event was an opportunity to hear evidence from a major programme of research examining and comparing the lives and experiences of thousands of individuals across the UK, from multiple generations. We shared brand new insights, and asked what these mean for public policy today. Our Cross Cohort Research Programme was a major initiative, using data from our own four cohort studies and other UK studies, to understand how our lives unfold and what can help improve people's chances in life. Incorporating seven projects, the programme has explored many themes relevant to policy makers and practitioners, including: The long-term implications of childhood mental ill health The rising prevalence of obesity The link between parents' wealth and their children's own life chances At this event delegates had the opportunity to: learn about findings from each of the research projects take part in discussions about the policy implications of each project's findings, and meet researchers as well as government policy-makers and representatives from the third sector |

| Results and Impact | On 10 October 2018, the UCL Institute of Education released a short film for World Mental Health Day showcasing the findings and impact of research by Prof Emla Fitzsimons on rates of depression among 14-year-olds taking part in the Millennium Cohort Study. It features interviews with Professor Emla Fitzsimons, MCS director at the IOE and Larissa Pople, a senior researcher at the Children's Society, who explains why the MCS is so important for charities trying to improve children's welfare. Ms Pople said: "The Millennium Cohort Study is one of the data sources we draw on the most to understand children's lives. These are the kinds of studies that are really relevant for us. We help children that are in need, particularly those who may have run away from home, for example. We also do policy and research on related issues, particularly on children's wellbeing and poverty." The film was part of the #weareioe campaign intended to attract new students and showcase the policy relevance of IOE research. At the time of submission, the film had been viewed 439 times on YouTube. It was shared widely on CLS and IOE social media channels. |

| Results and Impact | Alissa Goodman and Meghan Rainsberry met Clare Ward and I'm the Chief Executive of Superu (Social Policy Evaluation and Research Unit) in New Zealand. Superu is an autonomous Crown entity that has been set up by the New Zealand government to increase the use of evidence in social sector decision-making (policy, funding, and delivery) to improve outcomes for families and children. The NZ Government has a particular focus on taking an investment approach, investing early for measurably improved longer-term results. This approach requires all parties to use evidence and Superu is one of a number of initiatives that the Government has put in place to help achieve this. Part of their role relates to influencing the development of sustainable research assets to support good social science research. In this role they manage the contract for the longitudinal Growing Up in New Zealand Study which is delivered by Auckland University. A particular focus is increasing the use of this data in policy-relevant research. We advised Clare on how we are working to encourage the use of the data to inform policy-making as well as how we work with ESRC. Clare subsequently reported that she found our session useful in finding out how the UK is operating its longitudinal studies but also the work we are doing to get this data used |

The blog was published to coincide with a presentation they gave at the 2022 British Educational Research Association annual conference in Liverpool. The study shows evidence of intergenerational transmission of educational disadvantage already in the very early years (age 3 and 5) through to GCSE attainment at age 16. However, once inequalities in family socio-economic background or area deprivation and housing are controlled for, children of care-leaver mothers perform just as well as those whose mothers had no experience of out of home care. The blog has so far received 240 views. |

| Results and Impact | Inequalities and the Curriculum Alice Sullivan, Jake Anders, Vanessa Moulton, Catherine Dilnot and Morag Henderson This lunchtime seminar will discuss some of the recent findings from a team of researchers based at UCL Institute of Education. The seminar will run from 12pm-1pm (with 15 minutes for questions) and the room has been booked for an additional 30 minutes for [optional] further discussion. The paper by Jake Anders, Morag Henderson, Vanessa Moulton and Alice Sullivan examines the role of the school in producing curriculum differences using multi-level variance decomposition models applied to administrative data on young people in state schools in England. The paper by Vanessa Moulton, Alice Sullivan, Morag Henderson and Jake Anders examines whether taking EBacc eligible subjects or applied subjects at 14-16 made a difference to transitions at 16-plus, both in terms of staying on in education, progressing to A levels, and taking 'facilitating' subjects at A level. The paper by Alice Sullivan, Morag Henderson, Vanessa Moulton and Jake Anders examines the association between curriculum choice from 14-16 and its association with status attainment at age 25. Catherine Dilnot's paper uses a taxonomy of A-levels developed from the published preferences of the Russell Group of 24 high status UK universities, categorizing A-levels as 'facilitating', 'useful' and 'less suitable' for university entry. She examines the relationships between having such A-levels and rank score of university attended. |

| Results and Impact | This was an invited talk to the Department of Education and University of Oxford. Professor Steve Strand invited me to discuss the CCRP Curricula, Schools and Social Mobility strand research findings. The title of the talk was "Social Class, Gender and Ethnic Differences in Subjects Taken at Age 14." Morag Henderson, Alice Sullivan and Jake Anders. The abstract follows: In this paper we identify patterns of subject and qualification choices made at age 14. Most past research on 'subject choice' has focussed on the later stages of educational trajectories, particularly Higher Education. However, the choices made at early branching points can limit pupils' subsequent options, potentially contributing to educational inequalities. This paper identifies the patterns of General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) subjects chosen by a cohort of young people born in 1989/1990. We make use of the Next Steps data (formerly the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE)) which is linked to the National Pupil Database. We develop an approach to measuring the academic selectivity of subjects and qualifications. We examine the roles of social class, parental education, income, gender and ethnicity in determining participation in these curriculum groupings. We also examine the role of the intersections of these variables, for example, the different role of gender for working and middle class youth. Using measures of prior attainment measured at age thirteen, we address the question of whether curriculum differentials simply reflect differences in prior attainment or whether they actually exacerbate inequalities. |

| Results and Impact | This was a seminar to a non-academic audience predominantly. The work asked professionals within universities and Widening Participation personnel to consider admissions practice and the way subjects may act as a signal to admission staff. The abstract follows: In the first half of this seminar Dr. Morag Henderson will look at Subject Choices at 14. Does the school curriculum generate educational inequalities? This paper reports on initial findings from a major ESRC project on social mobility. We identify patterns of subject and qualification choices made at age 14. This topic is particularly important for England as the school curriculum encourages specialisation at a relatively early age compared with other European countries. This curriculum differentiation is typically framed in terms of 'choice', but in practice young people's choices are constrained by their schools. In addition, adolescents are likely to lack the information needed to foresee the long-term consequences of options taken as young as age 14. Yet most past research on 'subject choice' has focused on the later stages of educational trajectories, particularly Higher Education. The choices made at early branching points can limit pupils' subsequent options, potentially contributing to educational inequalities. We examine the roles of social class, parental education, income, gender and ethnicity in determining these curriculum clusters. We also examine the role of the intersections of these variables, for example, the different role of gender for working and middle class youth. Using measures of prior attainment at 7 and eleven, we address the question of whether curriculum differentials simply reflect differences in prior attainment or whether they actually exacerbate inequalities. Feedback on the talk was positive and can be made available , along with the delegates names/institutional affiliation. |

| Results and Impact | Living longer but not necessarily healthier: Evidence from the UK's population based surveys The 20th century witnessed significant improvements in health in most countries including substantial increases in survival to older ages and large reductions in late age mortality. The continuing rise in life expectancy is undoubtedly one of the great successes of public health, but has also raised the question of how healthily the gained years of life will be spent. We use data from UK's birth cohorts, other longitudinal studies and repeated cross sectional surveys to investigate competing theories of the joint progress of health and mortality. Sullivan's method and regression based approaches were employed exploiting their different underlying assumptions to empirically test the compression, expansion and dynamic equilibrium of morbidity hypotheses. We found evidence for expansion of morbidity in the working age population, whereas a more complex pattern emerged in the older population, indicating a structural break between generations. The opportunities and challenges of employing longitudinal and life course studies to empirically test competing theories of ageing and practical implications for the study of potential mechanisms that underlie the joint progress of health and mortality will be discussed. |

| Results and Impact | This roundtable/workshop event brought together third sector representatives, predominantly from ageing and social care orgainsations, to respond to the report Decision Time: Will the Voluntary Sector Embrace the Age of Opportunity? The report present the opportunity to the voluntary sector of baby boomers reaching retirement age. As this generation enters retirement, there is an oppotunity for the voluntary sector to recruit new volunteers. Representatives included Age UK, NCVO, Barnardos, and Jewish Care. It was organised by NBFA Assisting the Elderly, and hosted by Mercer. I provided a keynote talk on the lives of the 1958 cohort as they approached retirement. The purpose of the talk was to stimulate thinking and discussion, and to provide background information on what this generation's lives are like. It covered the 1958 cohort's partnership history, employment history, health, caring responsibilities, social participation and wellbeing. The talk was incredibly well received and sparked discussion for the rest of the day. Following my talk, participants engaging in practical discussion of how they might realise the potential of baby boomers as volunteers, but also provide flexible opporunitites to fit the lifestyles and competing time demands of this generation. Following the event, I was invited to give the same talk to Jewish Care to stimulate their thinking for their team away day. I have also been approached by NBFA Assisting the Elderly to pursue a joint project looking at the age 50 qualitative interviews in the National Child Development Study. NBFA are interested in mining the interviews for more information to guide their thinking on how people are emotionally and mentally preparing for retirement. |

| Results and Impact | Presented project plans and initial findings on First in Family project to Widening Participation professionals on 20th June, 2018. This paper explores the characteristics of a recent generation of 'first in the family' (FiF) university graduates in England using a nationally representative dataset, Next Steps to provide the first comprehensive, descriptive statistics on this group. We identify the proportion of FiF young people at age 25 as compared to their peers who either match their parent's education level (either with degree or without degree) or are downwardly mobile, meaning their parent(s) has a university degree, but they do not. Our results show that that 24 per cent of young people aged 25 in 2015 in England are FiF, comprising nearly two-thirds of all university graduates of this cohort. Comparing groups with no parental higher education we find that ethnic minorities and those with higher levels of prior attainment are more likely to be FiF, and that those who are FiF are more likely to study Law, Economics and Management and less likely to study other Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities than those who are not FiF students. We find evidence that university type varies by FIF status, so too does dropout, where FiF students are at greater risk of dropout, once prior attainment, individual characteristics and socio-economic status are taken into account. Implications for these findings are discussed. |

| Results and Impact | The work presented explores the characteristics of a recent generation of 'first in the family' (FiF) university graduates in England using a nationally representative dataset, Next Steps to provide the first comprehensive, descriptive statistics on this group. We identify the proportion of FiF young people at age 25 as compared to their peers who either match their parent's education level (either with degree or without degree) or are downwardly mobile, meaning their parent(s) has a university degree, but they do not. Our results show that that 24 per cent of young people aged 25 in 2015 in England are FiF, comprising nearly two-thirds of all university graduates of this cohort. Comparing groups with no parental higher education we find that ethnic minorities and those with higher levels of prior attainment are more likely to be FiF, and that those who are FiF are more likely to study Law, Economics and Management and less likely to study other Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities than those who are not FiF students. We find evidence that university type varies by FIF status, so too does dropout, where FiF students are at greater risk of dropout, once prior attainment, individual characteristics and socio-economic status are taken into account. Implications for these findings are discussed. |

| Results and Impact | As part of CLS's celebration of the first 60 years of the 1958 National Child Development Study, we released a short film highlighting the impact and importance of the study. The film includes interviews with a study member, Principal Investigators past and present, and Rt. Hon. Alan Milburn. It showcases key impacts and discoveries in areas including smoking during pregnancy, adult basic skills and social mobility. The purpose of the film is to position NCDS as a leading source of evidence for policy and to secure support for its future, by showcasing its incredible achievements to date. The film was launched in March 2019 to coincide with the study members' birthdays, and is being promoted through CLS's core digital communications channels, including its website and social media. CLS will continue to monitor the engagement with the film and update this entry with the findings. |

| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Other audiences |
| Results and Impact | On 18 January 2021, 47 people (higher education researchers, postgraduate students, and members of the public sector) attended our online workshop to learn why principled methods of missing data handling are usually required to obtain unbiased estimates in long-running cohort studies, learn how to undertake such analyses, and gain practical experience of doing so themselves using Stata, with a focus on multiple imputation. The National Child Development Study (NCDS) was used throughout as a case study. There were plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion. Delegates scored the event an average of 8.5/10 on satisfaction and 9.1/10 on relevance to their work. Some comments from delegates include: "1) Nice, open, friendly, and encouraging environment. 2) Much time for questions. 3) Good structure. 4) Lots of content in a short time. 5) Very helpful Stata demonstration." and "Good explanations for very complex problems." |

| Results and Impact | On 22-23 October 2020, CLS participated in and supported this online 'hackathon' hosted by the UK Data Service. Participants worked in small teams alongside different experts from other organisations, including data producers, policymakers and charities, and were able to link with other related datasets, to find new areas of research interest. The event enabled participants to utilise and explore the major COVID-19 studies, gain insights from the data providers and policy experts, gain practical experience of manipulating data and examine themes and explore new research questions. There were 86 delegates registered for the event (61 in attendance). Delegates scored the event an average of 9.2/10 on satisfaction and 8.5/10 on relevance to their work. Some comments from delegates include: "An excellent event. The mix between the background, theory and the examples was really useful." and "Well done to everyone involved in organising the event, and the presenters for providing a range of helpful information & guidance." |

| Results and Impact | In October 2018, Prof Alissa Goodman participated in a panel debate at the launch of UNICEF's latest report into educational inequalities in 41 rich countries in the EU and OECD. Prof Goodman was part of an expert panel discussing the findings from the report that children growing up in rich countries are not guaranteed equal access to quality education. As part of her statement, Prof Goodman said: "We recognise intuitively what a formative time our school years are, and how important education is," Professor Goodman told delegates. "Research from the studies that I run in London, which follow people across the whole of their lives, back this up loud and clear. Education is important for the knowledge that we gain and for the potential that it gives us for getting a job, but it turns out that from robust research from around the world that it's hugely important for many more things than that. We can see that education is important for things like your partnerships, for your participation in society, and whether you vote. It matters for how we go on to parent our own children. It matters for our health, and even going into older age, it matters for how long we live." The UNICEF report further illustrated its findings using Millennium Cohort Study research showing the extent to which UK parents' English language skills are passed on to their children. At age 14, the study members and their parents completed a vocabulary test measuring their understanding of 20 different words. The research showed that children of managers and professionals chose 1.3 more words correctly, on average, than children whose parents worked in routine and semi-routine jobs. The debate was recorded an made available on UNICEF's YouTube channel. |

| Results and Impact | This paper explores the characteristics of a recent generation of 'first in the family' (FiF) university graduates in England using a nationally representative dataset, Next Steps to provide the first comprehensive, descriptive statistics on this group. We identify the proportion of FiF young people at age 25 as compared to their peers who either match their parent's education level (either with degree or without degree) or are downwardly mobile, meaning their parent(s) has a university degree, but they do not. Our results show that that 24 per cent of young people aged 25 in 2015 in England are FiF, comprising nearly two-thirds of all university graduates of this cohort. Comparing groups with no parental higher education we find that ethnic minorities and those with higher levels of prior attainment are more likely to be FiF, and that those who are FiF are more likely to study Law, Economics and Management and less likely to study other Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities than those who are not FiF students. We find evidence that university type varies by FIF status, so too does dropout, where FiF students are at greater risk of dropout, once prior attainment, individual characteristics and socio-economic status are taken into account. Implications for these findings are discussed. |

| Results and Impact | In March 2019, CLS released a 60-page commemorative book to the participants of the 1958 National Child Development Study. The book celebrates the first six decades of the study's history, and is intended as a thank-you gift to study members for their life-long commitment. It also serves to solidify that commitment and re-engage participants in advance of the Age 62 Sweep. The book was posted to 12,500 study members as part of their annual birthday mailing. An additional 1,500 study members will be given a copy of the book at their Age 62 home visit. Each chapter of the book tells the story of the study and its members' lives in a given decade: beginning with birth and early years, through to middle age. It includes the findings, history and impact of the study to date, as well as personal reflections and stories from individual study members. CLS has also adapted the contents of the book into web and social media content in an effort to share the material more widely. Throughout March 2019, we will share the content on our website and through Twitter to engage users of NCDS data and evidence across academic, policy and third sector circles. CLS will carry out an evaluation of the book and accompanying digital communications and update this entry with those findings. |

| Results and Impact | On 2 March 2020, over 100 representatives from national and local government, the third sector, academia and the media attended the launch of the report 'Race inequality in the Workplace' at the House of Lords. CLS researcher and Co-Investigator of Next Steps, Dr Morag Henderson, presented findings from Next Steps on racial inequalities in employment stability. Dr Henderson also took part in a panel discussion on the importance of the findings alongside Lord Simon Woolley (Director of Operation Black Vote and head of the UK government's Race Disparity Unit), Matthew Taylor (CEO of the RSA), Zubaida Haque (Deputy Director of Runnymede Trust), and Paul Rees (CEO of the Royal College of Psychiatrists). The event was exceptionally well attended by a broad range of organisations, many of whom followed up with queries about the research and recommendations. Lord Woolley also discussed the report's findings at a House of Lords debate on education and social mobility on 6 March 2020. About the event Launch of 'Race Inequality in the Workforce' - a report using new data to exploring the relationships between employment, ethnicity and mental health. Hear from a panel of leading experts on these themes, chaired by Lord Simon Woolley, chief executive of Operation Black Vote and head of the UK government's Race Disparity Unit. About the report In the midst of political, social, demographic and technological changes taking place in the UK, the world of work is rapidly evolving. There are growing challenges in terms of job security, low pay, opportunities for progression and terms and conditions. Meanwhile, there is growing evidence of a rise in mental health issues; and a wider context where many ethnic minority groups have long experienced disadvantage in the labour market. Carnegie UK Trust, Operation Black Vote and UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies have come together to explore the specific links between ethnicity, work and mental health; to examine these relationships and consider the steps required to ensure that fair and decent work is accessible across all sectors of society. In this report, we present new data from Next Steps, a longitudinal study of the 'millennial generation' in England. The work reveals persistent issues around the relationships between employment, ethnicity and mental health and underlines that there are enduring inequalities in the workplace between ethnic groups. The report presents recommendations for actions - for government, for mental health services and for employers. |

| Results and Impact | Centre for Longitudinal Studies Missing Data Strategy Selection bias, in the form of incomplete or missing data, is unavoidable in longitudinal surveys. It results in smaller samples, incomplete histories, lower statistical power and it is well known that unbiased estimates cannot be obtained without properly addressing the implications of incompleteness. However, statistical methods exist which enable users to exploit the full richness of longitudinal data and address sources of bias. We present the first results from the Centre for Longitudinal Studies Missing Data Strategy using data from the National Child Development Study (NCDS) which follows the lives of 17,416 people born in England, Scotland and Wales in a single week of 1958. Also known as the 1958 Birth Cohort Study, it collects information on physical and educational development, economic circumstances, employment, family life, health behaviour, wellbeing, social participation and attitudes. Since the birth survey in 1958, there have been ten further 'sweeps' of all cohort members at ages 7, 11, 16, 23, 33, 42, 44, 46, 50 and 55. Within Rubin's framework we present three papers where we clarify the situations where complete case analysis and methods that operate under the Missing At Random assumption return unbiased results. We present a three step empirical/data driven approach that maximises the plausibility of the Missing At Random assumption in NCDS and quantify the effect of strong departures from MAR. Our findings have implications for missing data handling in the 1958 cohort and other longitudinal studies as they will help inform the selection of auxiliary variables and allow researchers to effectively communicate the assumptions underlying popular MAR methods such as Multiple Imputation, Full Information Maximum Likelihood and Inverse Probability Weighting. |

| Results and Impact | This paper explores the characteristics of a recent generation of 'first in the family' (FiF) university graduates in England using a nationally representative dataset, Next Steps to provide the first comprehensive, descriptive statistics on this group. We identify the proportion of FiF young people at age 25 as compared to their peers who either match their parent's education level (either with degree or without degree) or are downwardly mobile, meaning their parent(s) has a university degree, but they do not. Our results show that that 24 per cent of young people aged 25 in 2015 in England are FiF, comprising nearly two-thirds of all university graduates of this cohort. Comparing groups with no parental higher education we find that ethnic minorities and those with higher levels of prior attainment are more likely to be FiF, and that those who are FiF are more likely to study Law, Economics and Management and less likely to study other Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities than those who are not FiF students. We find evidence that university type varies by FIF status, so too does dropout, where FiF students are at greater risk of dropout, once prior attainment, individual characteristics and socio-economic status are taken into account. Implications for these findings are discussed. |

| Results and Impact | Despite an increase in living standards and material comforts in industrialised societies, today's 'emerging adults' (aged from late teens to mid-to-late 20s) face greater challenges than ever before. The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between labour market status and mental health for the 'millennial generation' in England, and whether it varies by gender and ethnicity. This study will be the first to draw on the results from the 2015 sweep of Next Steps data when the sample members are aged 25 and, together with the previous seven sweeps, bring the debate up to date by providing first estimates of the life condition of contemporary emerging adults. We find black and minority ethnic groups have lower odds of reporting mental ill-health at age 25 than the white group. With respect to labour market status, we find that net of socio-economic characteristics, educational attainment, behavioural variables and income at age 25, those who are unemployed are more than twice as likely to report symptoms of poor mental health as those who are employed. Shift workers and those on zero-hours contracts are also at a greater risk of mental ill-health by 47% and 44% respectively than those who are not shift workers or zero-hours workers. We find no significant difference for those who have a second job or are on a permanent contract for mental health at age 25 compared to those who do not have a second job or are on a temporary contract. |

| Results and Impact | Professor Mary Clare Lennon hosted this presentation at City of New York University. The work presented explores the characteristics of a recent generation of 'first in the family' (FiF) university graduates in England using a nationally representative dataset, Next Steps to provide the first comprehensive, descriptive statistics on this group. We identify the proportion of FiF young people at age 25 as compared to their peers who either match their parent's education level (either with degree or without degree) or are downwardly mobile, meaning their parent(s) has a university degree, but they do not. Our results show that that 24 per cent of young people aged 25 in 2015 in England are FiF, comprising nearly two-thirds of all university graduates of this cohort. Comparing groups with no parental higher education we find that ethnic minorities and those with higher levels of prior attainment are more likely to be FiF, and that those who are FiF are more likely to study Law, Economics and Management and less likely to study other Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities than those who are not FiF students. We find evidence that university type varies by FIF status, so too does dropout, where FiF students are at greater risk of dropout, once prior attainment, individual characteristics and socio-economic status are taken into account. Implications for these findings are discussed. |

| Results and Impact | Educational achievement may be enough to open the door to high-status occupations, but isn't sufficient to deliver a top income in early middle age, according to new research from the UCL Institute of Education (IOE). Those who grew up with advantages, such as higher family income and a private school education, are most likely to join the top 15 per cent of British earners when they reach their early forties.

| Results and Impact | Millennials from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds are 47% more likely to be on a zero-hours contract, and have 10% greater odds of working a second job, compared to their White peers, according to a new report from the UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies, Carnegie UK Trust, and Operation Black Vote. BAME millennials are also 5% more likely to be doing shift work, and are 4% less likely to have a permanent contract than White workers. At the report's launch in Parliament on Monday 2 March 2020, the authors will call on the Government, mental health services and employers to take action to tackle racial inequalities in access to good work. The research was featured in BBC Radio 4, BBC Asian Network, BBC News Channel, BBC News, The Guardian, The Independent, Metro, Yahoo!

| Results and Impact | A briefing paper, press release and social media content were published to share the Next Steps age 25 findings on economic activity. Young adults who are employed on zero-hours contracts are less likely to be in good health, and are at higher risk of poor mental health than workers with stable jobs. Researchers from the Centre for Longitudinal Studies analysed data on more than 7,700 people living in England who were born in 1989-90 and are being followed by a study called Next Steps. They found that at age 25, people on zero-hours contracts and those who were unemployed were less likely to report feeling healthy, compared to those in more secure employment. Those with zero-hours contracts were also at greater risk of reporting symptoms of psychological distress. This press release was picked up by The Times, The Guardian, Independent, Mirror, Metro, Morning Star, Huffington Post, ITV online news, BBC3 online news, and regional news websites. During Prime Minister's Questions, on July 5th, the leader of the opposition, Jeremy Corbyn mentioned the research when debating with Prime Minister, Theresa May. He said: "When Tories talk of tough choices, we know who suffers: the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. Young people employed on zero-hours contracts are more likely to have worse mental and physical health." |

| Results and Impact | Children in homes where both parents are employed are more likely to be overweight compared to those from families where mothers stay at home. Researchers from the UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies analysed data on more than 7,800 children born across the UK in 2000-01, who are being followed by the Millennium Cohort Study. They examined information on children's BMI from age 3 to age 14, and reports on parents' employment and partnership status. The researchers also looked at data on children's diet from age 5 to 14 and levels of activity from age 3 to 14. The researchers used robust statistical methods which took into account a range of background factors, including ethnicity, family structure and household income, as well as mother's level of education, health and mental health. Children in homes where both parents worked full-time had higher levels of BMI than those from families where mothers didn't work. Differences were more pronounced for the children of single mothers working full time. This research was featured in the Times on 25 March 2019. |

| Results and Impact | Private school pupils are more likely than their peers at comprehensives to have a lower body mass index (BMI) by the time they reach their early 40s. They also spend less time watching television and eat fewer take-away meals, according to new research published in the International Journal of Epidemiology. Researchers at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies, UCL Institute of Education, analysed information on more than 8,400 men and women born across England, Scotland and Wales in a single week in 1970, who are part of the 1970 British Cohort Study. The researchers compared the participants' health at age 42 according to the type of secondary school and university they attended. This press release was issued in May 2016 and received widespread national coverage in the Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, Mail Online, TES, Press Association, Yorkshire Post, and Schools Week. |

| Results and Impact | New research suggests that privilege doesn't protect ethnic minority children from gaining weight in the same way as it does their White peers. Researchers from the UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies, London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Washington analysed data on more than 11,000 7-year-olds born in the UK at the turn of the century, who are being followed by the Millennium Cohort Study. They compared the BMIs of children from poorer and richer households, within four ethnic groups - White; Black African and Caribbean; Indian; and, Pakistani and Bangladeshi. The researchers took into account the fact that weight and body fat differ between boys and girls. The findings confirmed previous research that has shown that coming from a wealthier background is linked to a lower risk of having a high BMI - but only for White children. The study found that White children from less advantaged homes had a 13 per cent higher risk of being overweight or obese than White children who were more advantaged. However, this pattern did not hold for other ethnic groups. In fact, the opposite was true for Black African and Caribbean children. Those from poorer homes had a 37 per cent lower risk of being overweight or obese than Black children from richer families. Among Indian children, there was no statistically significant difference between those of wealthier and poorer parents. This was also true of Pakistani and Bangladeshi children. Feature articles appeared in the Telegraph and Asian Leader in September 2019. |

| Results and Impact | This press release covered two CLS working papers, both using Next Steps data. One of the working papers ('Continuing Education Post-16: Does What You Study at GCSE matter?') showed how girls who take 'applied' subjects, such as health and social care or home economics, at GCSE may be facing educational disadvantage as they are less likely to study past A-level and also less likely to take 'facilitating' A-levels favoured by prestigious universities. The other paper highlighted the influence that schools have on pupils' GCSE subject choices, showing how a bright pupil in an academically selective school is more likely to take an academic route than an equally bright pupil in a less selective school. The press release on these two papers secured coverage in the Independent as well as the TES, Schools Week, and a range of regional newspapers. Alice Sullivan, one of the authors of the papers gave an interview to Sky News Radio, which supplies the national and international news, sport, business and entertainment news to almost every commercial radio station in the UK. One of the two papers ('Does What you Study at GCSE Matter') was referenced in a post on the Department for Education Facebook page on 1 March 2018, in support of studying EBacc subjects, including languages: https://www.facebook.com/116423535060106/posts/1590555454313566 |

| Results and Impact | Teenage mothers and men who become fathers by their early 20s are at greater risk of developing conditions such as heart disease and diabetes in middle age, compared to those who delay parenthood, according to a UCL-led study. Researchers from the UCL Institute of Education and the University of Essex analysed data on more than 11,700 men and women born across England, Scotland and Wales in a single week in 1958, who are being followed by the National Child Development Study. They examined data from blood tests and health checks taken at age 45, and compared the results for men and women who had become parents at different ages, taking into account other factors that may have influenced their health and when they started having children. Young parents were at greater risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders by middle age, compared to their peers who had their children later. |

| Results and Impact | As part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, CLS hosted a public lecture and debate on 8 November 2018 to showcase findings from CLS research into differences and inequalities in children's career aspirations. Approximately 90 people attended the event, including one large group of sixth form students from a local school. Comments from the feedback forms included: • Informative and interesting • It was great • Excellent and interesting event - great range of speakers • Wonderfully informative and helpful, especially as a sixth form student • Excellent - thanks • Fantastic event, very well organised • An absolutely brilliant event, some very interesting research and a great discussion. Definitely eye-opening on aspirations in general About the workshop This event explored recent research on the occupational aspirations of boys and girls of different ethnic groups, with the first viewing of an animation on gendered choices and a panel discussion of the barriers that may prevent those from minority ethnic groups achieving their aspirations. There were two elements to the event. The first involved the first showing of an animation relating to findings on the ways boys and girls continue to express highly gendered preferences about their future jobs. The animation was followed by a discussion of the challenges in changing stereotypes and expectations relating to "men's" and "women's" work among youth, and different approaches. The second part of the event provided the opportunity for discussion of occupational aspirations of children from different ethnic groups and how they evolve across their childhoods. This is a previously unstudied area. Recent research has shown that children from minority ethnic groups are not only aspiring to be highly educated but also to participate in 'good jobs' to a greater extent than their majority counterparts. Educational outcomes are tracking these aspirations, but job outcomes do not seem to be to the same extent. How do we understand these findings? What are the factors enabling and preventing boys and girls from different ethnic groups from achieving their ambitions in adulthood? Panellists with expertise in education, women's rights and race equality offered their perspective on the findings and the audience were invited to discuss their reflections and possible ways forward. Speakers Omar Khan (@omaromalleykhan) is the Director of Runnymede, the UK's leading independent race equality think tank. Heidi Mirza (@HeidiMirza) is Professor Emerita at UCL, is a black feminist professor of race equality and women's rights, and author of works on education and race and gender inequality.

A recording of the lecture was made available on the UCL Institute of Education and CLS websites. About the lecture Alissa demonstrated how the UK's birth cohort studies - which each track large numbers of individuals (typically around 17,000) from birth and throughout their lives - reveal the long roots of childhood experience on later life, and the importance of tackling childhood mental health problems. Alissa also explored how earlier adult life is influencing the decisions of a generation now approaching retirement age, and some of the striking generational changes occurring in our society, including in income, and mental health. |

This analysis made use of the new age 25 data from the Next Steps cohort of young people born in 1989/1990. This presentation explored mental ill health longitudinally and will examine correlates of adolescent mental ill health (at age 14 and 16) and their association with mental ill health at age 25. It also identified the correlates of recovery from adolescent mental ill health and explored what predicts prolonged incidence of mental ill health symptoms and 'recovery'. Moreover the question of how adolescent mental ill health is associated with social outcomes at age 25 was addressed, including labour market outcomes, life satisfaction, family formation and drug use. |

| Results and Impact | The work presented at RES explores the characteristics of a recent generation of 'first in the family' (FiF) university graduates in England using a nationally representative dataset, Next Steps to provide the first comprehensive, descriptive statistics on this group. We identify the proportion of FiF young people at age 25 as compared to their peers who either match their parent's education level (either with degree or without degree) or are downwardly mobile, meaning their parent(s) has a university degree, but they do not. Our results show that that 24 per cent of young people aged 25 in 2015 in England are FiF, comprising nearly two-thirds of all university graduates of this cohort. Comparing groups with no parental higher education we find that ethnic minorities and those with higher levels of prior attainment are more likely to be FiF, and that those who are FiF are more likely to study Law, Economics and Management and less likely to study other Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities than those who are not FiF students. We find evidence that university type varies by FIF status, so too does dropout, where FiF students are at greater risk of dropout, once prior attainment, individual characteristics and socio-economic status are taken into account. Implications for these findings are discussed. |

| Results and Impact | I gave a conference presentation at the Society for Longitudinal and Life Course Studies which was well attended by CLS staff on the subject of Subject Choice. There was considerable discussion afterwards and from this we started to form a research group on the topic of Subject Choice bringing together international researchers who are working in this field. The abstract follows: In this paper we identify patterns of subject and qualification choices made at age 14. Most past research on 'subject choice' has focused on the later stages of educational trajectories, particularly Higher Education. However, the choices made at early branching points can limit pupils' subsequent options, potentially contributing to educational inequalities. This paper identifies the patterns of General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) subjects chosen by a cohort of young people born in 1989/1990. We make use of the Next Steps data (formerly the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE)) which is linked to the National Pupil Database. We develop an approach to measuring the academic selectivity of subjects and qualifications. We examine the roles of social class, parental education, income, gender and ethnicity in determining participation in these curriculum groupings. We also examine the role of the intersections of these variables, for example, the different role of gender for working and middle class youth. Using measures of prior attainment measured at age thirteen, we address the question of whether curriculum differentials simply reflect differences in prior attainment or whether they actually exacerbate inequalities. |

| Results and Impact | The aim of this workshop is to introduce participants to the Age 25 Next Steps data and demonstrating its longitudinal power. Next Steps (previously known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England) is a major national cohort study following the generation born in 1989/1990. It fills the 30-year gap in the UK's national cohort study series between the 1970 British Cohort Study and the Millennium Cohort Study and provides multi-disciplinary longitudinal data for a large-scale and nationally representative probability sample of young adults. The age 25 survey took place in 2015/2016 and collected detailed information about the lives of young adults growing up in Britain today and in particular on transitions out of education and into early adult life. The data can be used to examine a broad range of research questions relating to higher education, employment, housing and family formation, and mental and physical health. After giving some background to the dataset, the sample design and content will be discussed alongside strategies for dealing with attrition and weights. Methods of accessing the data will be highlighted and initial findings examining health, mental health, diet, physical activity and economic activity will be covered. More specifically the format of the workshop will be: Objectives; Funding; Sample Design; Content; Initial Findings; Response & Attrition; Sampling and Non-response weights; Data Access (UKDS) and Documentation; Understanding the data; Recoding variables; Deriving variables cross-sectionall; Linking data longitudinally; Deriving variables longitudinally |

Whereas FiF women earn on average 7.4% less than graduate women whose parents are also graduates, net of the effect of earlier educational attainment (ability differences) and other measures of family background. • The female FiF-pay gap is partially explained through pre-university educational attainment and elite university attendance, working in smaller firms, working in jobs that do not require a degree and motherhood. |

| Results and Impact | On 13 June 2019, about 300 people attended this public lecture at City University, organised by NatCen Social Research and the Social Research Association. Keynote speaker Professor Goodman (Director of CLS) discussed research on inequalities, showing how longitudinal data is used to understand both the causes and consequences of educational disadvantage in the UK. She presented findings on the current social inequalities in education and showed some of the longer-term effects of educational inequalities. Speaking to the policy implications of educational disadvantage, Rt Hon David Laws (Education Policy Institute) presented findings from the Education Policy Institutes' research on the evolution of the disadvantage gap over the last decade. He examined what the evidence suggests may be behind inequalities, where focus should be given to narrow disadvantages and what the political context is. The free event was chaired by the Professor of Education at the University of Cambridge, Anna Vignoles. It was followed by a drinks reception, which provided an opportunity for attendees to discuss research and policy. |

| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |

| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Other audiences |
| Results and Impact | Description of symposium (up to 300 words) The importance of the subjects that young people study while at school for their future academic pathways has increasingly attracted the attention of policymakers. Most notably this has manifested itself in the UK Government's introduction of the English Baccalaureate school performance measure at age 16 and their introduction of a school performance measure based on the Russell Group's list of "facilitating subjects" at age 18. The interest from policymakers has sparked greater attention from researchers, who recognise that understanding subject choice at age 14 is important because without doing so we do not have the knowledge to help young people make the choices that will help them to achieve their future plans. This symposium will present new evidence on the determinants of subject choice, extending this from traditional predictors such as pupils' gender and SES, to consider non-cognitive traits and the importance of peer groups. It also considers the consequences of subject choice, specifically highlighting their role in influencing post-16 transitions and whether individuals remain on an academic focused track. By bringing together both the backward- and forward-facing aspects of this subject choice research this symposium will allow presenters and attendees to engage with this important topic in a holistic manner. PAPER 1 (abstract up to 300 words, including name and affiliation of presenter and any co-authors) The role of schools in explaining individuals' subject choice at age 14 Jake Anders, UCL Institute of Education (with Morag Henderson and Alice Sullivan) Young people's subject choices at age 14 may have important consequences for future academic and labour market outcomes. However, the choices that individuals face are shaped by the schools in which they find themselves at this point in time. This paper explores the important question of the extent to which individuals' decisions are affected by the school they attend and to what extent this changes when we also consider the composition of their schools in terms of academic attainment and socioeconomic background. This is achieved using multi-level variance decomposition models applied to both survey and administrative data on the subjects young people study between ages 14 and 16, separately testing the robustness of the results to population-level data and to rich background data on individuals. We highlight the important role schools play in many subject choice decisions, but also how school's decisions are in turn affected by their composition. PAPER 2 (abstract up to 300 words, including name and affiliation of presenter and any co-authors) How does the choice of A-level subjects vary with students' socio-economic status in English state schools? Catherine Dilnot, Oxford Brookes University and UCL Institute of Education The reasons why students from lower socio-economic groups are under-represented at highly selective universities are not entirely understood, but evidence suggests that part of the gap may be a consequence of differential choice of A-levels by social background. The Russell Group of universities has since 2011 published guidance on subject choices, describing some A-levels as 'facilitating' in that their choice keeps the largest number of Russell Group degree courses open to potential applicants. This study uses National Pupil Database data from three recent cohorts of English state school students taking at least three A-levels, and a taxonomy of all 96 A-levels certified for English students in 2014/15. Large differentials in subject choice by social background are found, particularly for facilitating subjects but also for subjects considered 'less suitable' by Russell Group universities. Multilevel linear probability models show that much of the difference is accounted for by the characteristics of schools and colleges attended by students from different social backgrounds and by prior attainment, although a small but significant relationship of subject choice with social background remains. This suggests that there is an important role for appropriate subject choice guidance at age 16+, which is a particular challenge if students are changing school. PAPER 3 (abstract up to 300 words, including name and affiliation of presenter and any co-authors) The role of non-cognitive traits in socio-economic disparities in subject choices at university Natasha Codiroli-McMaster, UCL Institute of Education This paper considers the underlying drivers to socio-economic disparities in subject choices at university, with a focus on the psychological processes involved in these choices. Firstly, I consider whether differences in students' perception of ability in, and enjoyment of STEM subjects can account for disparities in choices. Secondly, I consider whether these non-cognitive factors interact with social background, to further understand whether the psychological processes that underlie subject choice differ by students' background. I use representative survey data, Next Steps (previously the LSYPE), and regression methods to identify the unique associations between students' enjoyment of subjects, and their perception of ability, with subject choice at university. With prior academic attainment accounted for, I find significant interactions between students' family background, enjoyment of STEM subjects at the start of secondary school, and choice of subjects at university. Students whose parents do not have a degree and who enjoy maths and science are more likely to study social sciences, business and law at university over STEM subjects, than those whose parents have degrees. I will discuss findings in relation to sociological and economic theory, and explore possible policy implications. PAPER 4 (abstract up to 300 words, including name and affiliation of presenter and any co-authors) The school curriculum and post-16 transitions Vanessa Moulton, UCL Institute of Education (with Jake Anders, Morag Henderson & Alice Sullivan) The British school system provides a curriculum to 14-16 year olds which is highly differentiated, both within and between schools. This paper considers whether the subjects a pupil has taken in the 14-16 phase influence post-16 transitions, taking into account prior academic attainment, and if so, whether this accounts for socio-economic differences in access to post-16 education. We consider post-16 progression to the following outcomes: 1. Full time education or training; 2: The college-track curriculum (A levels); 3: A level subjects which have been identified as highly valued by elite universities ('facilitating' subjects). We address these questions using 'Next Steps', a study of 16,000 people born in England in 1989-90, linked to administrative education records (the National Pupil Database). |

| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | An academic talk at the CLOSER conference on 1st 2nd November: In this paper, we examine the role of young people's belief in their own academic ability (academic self-concept) as a way to explain differences in higher education and early labour market outcomes. Using longitudinal data from England (Next Steps), we examine whether young people with higher academic self-concept are more likely to study A Levels, participate in further education and attend university. For those who do attend university, we examine whether young people with higher self-belief attend high status universities or study high status subjects. This paper also explores the relationship between academic self-concept and income and occupational status. The results suggest that while academic self-concept is an important predictor of later educational transitions, it does not entirely account for the social gradient in participation at A Levels, further education or higher education. In addition, we find some evidence that academic self-concept predicts occupational class, but is not associated with earnings at age 25 net of educational choices and ability. It may have an indirect effect, however, on these outcomes through educational pathways. These findings have important policy implications for higher education participation and widening participation in particular. |

| Results and Impact | On 6 June 2018, Prof Alissa Goodman gave a lecture as part of the 2018 UCL Festival of Culture, presenting CLS's exploration into the extent to which the language of 11-year-olds can foretell their future. About the lecture Nearly 50 years ago, in 1969, more than 10,000 11-year-olds across Great Britain wrote an essay imagining what their lives would be would like by the time they were 25. They were all participants in the National Child Development Study, which began when they were all born, in a single week in March 1958, and which has been tracking their lives ever since. As the study turns 60 in 2018, a team of researchers from the Centre for Longitudinal Studies at the UCL Institute of Education (IOE), Stonybrook University in New York, and University of Melbourne has been analysing the essays written by the 11-year-olds, alongside the data collected about each of them through the study over the past six decades. This session explored the extent to which the language the 11-year-olds used in their essays would foretell their future lives. It examined the power of the essays in predicting their cognitive function, physical activity and economic status throughout their adult lives. About the UCL Festival of Culture The UCL Festival of Culture is a five-day-long festival, comprising talks, workshops and exhibitions, showcased the world-class research being carried out by staff and students from across the arts, social sciences and education. |

| Results and Impact | Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cambridge visited CLS on 5 October 2021 to learn about the new Children of the 2020s study, and the invaluable contribution the centre's existing birth cohort studies have made to our understanding of early child development. She was welcomed by Professor Pasco Fearon, UCL Faculty of Brain Sciences, who is director of the new study, and by CLS director, Professor Alissa Goodman. They introduced The Duchess to the new nationally representative study, which will seek to recruit over 8,000 families from across England next year to track the development of children from the age of nine months to five years. The visit attracted considerable media coverage, including the BBC, The Times, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, The Sun, Daily Express, Daily Mirror, and Independent. Notably, the bulk of the media articles went into detail about the research, rather than focusing solely on the Duchess. Content about the Duchess' visit has been among the best performing this year across CLS, IOE and UCL websites and social media channels. The visit has helped the study team to develop a relationship with The Royal Foundation's Centre for Early Childhood, a influential organisation in this field, and discussions are ongoing about how they can continue to be involved in the study's development. The visit has also made the study infinitely more discoverable online, and has given it some third party credibility. This will benefit study recruitment - when prospective participants receive their invitation letters to take part, many will likely google the study to check its legitimacy. Not only will they be able to find information about the study much more easily, but they will know that the Duchess is only sent to legitimate, worthwhile projects. For those prospective participants who are fans of the Duchess, her interest in the study may influence their decision to take part. |

Academics, students and school leadership. 'First in the family': higher education choices and labour market outcomes: Anna Adamecz-Volgyi, Morag Henderson and Nikki Shure (UCL) The policy discussion about 'widening participation' (WP) in UK higher education (HE) has expanded beyond traditional socioeconomic gaps to identifying 'first in the family to attend university' students as a specific form of disadvantage. 'First in Family' (FiF) refers to students who attend university (and obtain a degree), but whose mother and father did not. Fifteen of the 24 Russell Group universities explicitly target these individuals in their WP campaigns, although little is known about their characteristics. This project is the first large-scale research study on FiF in England. This seminar will present first results on FiF students in England, including how they compare to their peers who are not FiF students. We will explore to what extent FiF is a useful indicator for widening participation, that is, how well it proxies existing measures of disadvantage. We will then explore the decisions FiF students make in terms of HE institution, subject choice and non-completion as compared to their non-FiF peers at university. Furthermore, we will investigate how being FiF affects labour market outcomes, including probability of employment and whether earnings differ by FiF status. |

| Results and Impact | On 17 May 2019, CLS hosted an introductory workshop at the University of Edinburgh for new and prospective users of CLS cohort data. The 75 delegates were largely from Scotland, with some coming from Greater London, South West, Wales, North West, South East, West Midlands, Northern Ireland, and abroad. About the workshop: Longitudinal data are a powerful resource for addressing a wide range of scientific questions in various social, health, political and geographical sciences. For example, what determines health across life? How has social mobility changed? What determines voting preferences? This workshop gave both first-time and more experienced data users an insight into four of the UK's internationally-renowned cohort studies run by the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS): 1958 National Child Development Study; 1970 British Cohort Study; Millennium Cohort Study; Next Steps (previously known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England). Delegates were given an introduction to each of the cohort studies as well as further information on how to access and use them. The session featured guest speakers who discussed their use of cohort data across a range of topics such as transition to primary school in Scotland, social inequality and general cognitive ability, and selective schooling and adult health. Delegates also had the opportunity to discuss their own research ideas, gain advice and ask questions over a networking lunch. |

The 47 delegates were largely from Wales, with some coming from Greater London, South West, Scotland, North West, South East, West Midlands, and abroad. About the workshop Longitudinal data are a powerful resource for addressing a wide range of scientific questions in various social, health, political and geographical sciences. For example, what determines health across life? How has social mobility changed? What determines voting preferences? This workshop gave both first-time and more experienced data users an insight into four of the UK's internationally-renowned cohort studies run by the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS): 1958 National Child Development Study; 1970 British Cohort Study; Millennium Cohort Study; Next Steps (previously known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England). Delegates were given an introduction to each of the cohort studies as well as further information on how to access and use them. The session also featured updates on recent developments in each of the studies, including upcoming new data releases. The session featured guest speakers who discussed their use of cohort data across a range of topics such as the role of grandparents, social participation in adulthood, and children's wellbeing. Delegates also had the opportunity to discuss their own research ideas, gain advice and ask questions over a networking lunch. |

| Results and Impact | Date: 20 November 2019 Time: 12:15-4:00 pm Location: Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge with Morag Henderson, Nikki Shure and Anna Adamecz-Volgyi This is the first in a series of events which will present rigorous evidence on different aspects of Universities' efforts to widen participation and their activities to support learners from more disadvantaged backgrounds whilst in university. The events will provide a forum for discussion of how such evidence might be used in practice. The aim of the series is to enable academics and practitioners to come together to discuss what constitutes effective practice and how the sector might go about evaluating their own practice. The first workshop will focus on the challenge of identifying disadvantaged students. Is 'first in family' a good indicator for widening university participation?: Anna Adamecz-Völgyi, Morag Henderson and Nikki Shure Currently, a range of universities use 'first in family' or 'first generation' as an indicator to increase the diversity of their student intake, but very little is known about whether this is a good indicator of disadvantage and how it overlaps with other widely used indicators. We use nationally representative, longitudinal survey data linked to administrative education data from England to provide the first comprehensive analysis of the first in family measure. We show how first in family correlates with other commonly used measures of disadvantage and find that it captures additional disadvantage over and above other measures. We employ parametric probability and non-parametric classification models to look at its relative predictive power to predict university participation and graduation. We find that being first in family is an important barrier to university participation and graduation, even after controlling for other sources of disadvantage. This seems to work through the channel of early educational attainment. Our research provides evidence that the first in family indicator could be key in efforts to widen participation at universities through the use of contextualised admissions. |

| Results and Impact | On 29 May 2019, CLS presented results on the measurement properties of mental health measures, during a workshop organised by CLOSER. About the workshop: Measures of mental health vary across the different British birth cohort studies and within the same study over time. At this event, organised by CLOSER, CLS presented results on the measurement properties of mental health measures, before and after harmonising these so that they can be compared across time and study. These harmonised measures allowed us to investigate and compare the development of psychological distress over the life course in different generations, as well as test whether mental health is improving or declining in more recently born cohorts that are expected to live longer. The workshop introduced participants to the measurement properties of mental health measures in British birth cohorts and on the harmonisation process that allows these to be compared across time and study. This workshop was delivered by Prof George Ploubidis, Dr Praveetha Patalay, Dr Eoin McElroy and Dr Aase Villadsen (UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies). |

| Results and Impact | This workshop introduces the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) to both first-time and more experienced data users, with a focus on the age 11 and age 14 surveys. It includes a computer-based training session that gives participants the opportunity to analyse the data under the guidance of experienced users. The workshop was fully booked with 25 delegates. They scored it an average of 8/10 on both satisfaction and relevance. Some comments included: The STATA coding was excellent. An excellent course that gave me a better understanding of how I could use MCS in the future. Everything was very useufl as I am new to the MCS data. Workshop was a great idea. Many things are much clearer now and I feel more confident in trying to work with these data. |

| Results and Impact | This seminar, chaired by Professor Anna Vignoles, a Nuffield Foundation Trustee and Professor of Education at the University of Cambridge, will bring together findings from three Nuffield-funded studies which have been investigating subject choice in school, what influences the students' decisions and the impacts these have on their access to higher education. 1. Subject choice at 14- options, decisions and their influence in access to higher education - can studying certain combinations of subjects at 14-16 narrow inequalities in access to university? Read more Jake Anders, Senior Research Fellow in Education, Evaluation and Inequality, UCL Institute of Education 2. What can we learn from studies of pairs of twins about subject and other study choices? Read more Kathryn Asbury, Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader for the MSc Psychology in Education, University of York 3. Does providing young people with information about future earnings influence post-16 subject choices? Read more Peter Davies, Professor of Education, University of Birmingham A panel including The Rt Hon. David Laws, Executive Chairman of the Education Policy Institute, and, Professor Cristina Iannelli, Institute for Education, Community and Society at the University of Edinburgh, will discuss the findings and their implications for policy and practice and will explore how different types of evidence can help us think through the issues surrounding subject choice at school. |
