Evidence gathering using Centre Longitudinal

项目摘要

This project will provide new evidence to support the introduction of innovations in survey methods, record linkages, and measurement in the four national longitudinal studies run at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies: the Millennium Cohort Study, Next Steps, the 1970 British Cohort Study, and the 1958 National Child Development Study. It will contribute to shared learning across the longitudinal studies communities nationally and internationally. The project will also provide evidence to ESRC to support the potential commissioning of a new birth cohort study. It consists of the following sub-projects:Millennium Cohort Study and Next Steps babies: MCS and Next Steps study members are now at important ages for fertility and child-bearing. We will explore the scientific potential of extending data collection within the MCS and Next Steps studies to cover pregnancies and births of study members and their partners, and to incorporate new babies born into the longitudinal follow-up of these studies. This will include projections for number and timing of babies to be born to members of these studies in the next 10 years and possible strategies for engaging parents-to-be during the pregnancies, births and early years of these babies. The potential for a sub-study of BCS70 and NCDS grandchildren will also be investigated.Design options for a new 'accelerated-design' birth cohort study for the UK: In this project we will set out a number of design options for a new national birth cohort study. We will scope potential sampling frames from which representative samples of new babies could be drawn, and set out the implications for sample sizes, and local and national representativeness of the resulting samples. We will also set out options for drawing a nationally representative cohort of school-aged children. Associated power calculations for a range of hypothetical analyses will be provided.Qualitative research: we will carry out a set of qualitative research with cohort members to test their views on potential innovations including extending the surveys to new family members (partners, babies), the implementation of web-based and other data collection modes, the use of incentives, and linkages.We will scope the potential for extending record linkages within the CLS cohorts, including embedding cohorts into linked national populations, and novel geographic data linkages, with a particular focus on scientific value, feasibility and consent.We will review and publish new evidence on data collection modes, and the use of incentives to encourage participant response in the CLS cohorts, and will provide a literature review on new technologies for data collection.Calibration of measures: in order to improve opportunities for cross-cohort research we will carry out a novel web-based data collection of mental health measures, which have been previously used among adults in the CLS cohort studies. This will provide calibration measures that researchers can use in cross-cohort research, and will also inform the choice of mental health instruments in future data collections. We will pilot a similar approach to childhood cognitive tests. MCS web-boost and design: we will undertake a web-boost survey within the current MCS age 17 sweep, and we will evaluate its impact on response. We will design an annual web-survey mailing, and incentives experiment, for future implementation in MCS and/or Next Steps.

该项目将提供新的证据，以支持在纵向研究中心进行的四项国家纵向研究中的调查方法，创纪录联系和测量的创新：千禧年同队研究，下一步，1970年的英国队列研究和1958年的国家儿童发展研究。它将有助于在国家和国际上的纵向研究社区中共享学习。该项目还将向ESRC提供证据，以支持新的出生队列研究的潜在调试。它由以下次项目组成：千年队列研究和下一步的婴儿：MCS和下一步研究成员现在的生育能力和生育能力很重要。我们将探讨在MCS和下一步研究中扩展数据收集的科学潜力，以涵盖研究成员及其伴侣的怀孕和出生，并将出生的新婴儿纳入这些研究的纵向随访中。这将包括未来10年中这些研究成员出生的婴儿人数和时间的预测以及在这些婴儿怀孕，出生和早期与父母接触的可能策略。还将调查BCS70和NCDS孙子的子研究的潜力。为英国进行新的“加速设计”出生队列研究的设计选择：在该项目中，我们将为一项新的国家出生队列研究设置许多设计选择。我们将范围潜在的抽样框架，从中可以从中绘制出代表性的新婴儿样本，并阐明了样本量以及所得样本的本地和国家代表性的影响。我们还将制定一些选项，以吸引全国代表性的学龄儿童。将提供一系列假设分析的相关功率计算。质量研究：我们将与同类成员进行一系列定性研究，以测试他们对潜在创新的看法，包括将调查扩展到新的家庭成员（合作伙伴，婴儿），基于网络和其他数据收集模式的实施，包括激励措施和链接的范围。参与链接的民族人群和新的地理数据联系，特别关注科学价值，可行性和同意。我们将审查和发布有关数据收集模式的新证据，并使用激励措施鼓励参与者在CLS群体中的响应，并将在CLS群体中进行综述，并将为数据收集的新技术提供有关型号的研究机会。以前在CLS队列研究中已在成年人中使用的。这将提供校准措施，研究人员可以在跨科学研究中使用，并将为将来的数据收集中的心理健康工具选择提供信息。我们将尝试采用类似的儿童认知测试方法。 MCS Web-Boost和Design：我们将在当前17岁的MCS扫描中进行Web-Boost调查，我们将评估其对响应的影响。我们将设计一个年度网络调查邮件和激励实验，以在MCS和/或下一步中实施以后的实施。
