GUS is an exciting
new study that follows the lives of a national sample of Scotland's
children from infancy through to their teens. This is one of
the largest longitudinal studies ever done in Scotland and will
provide information that will help develop policies affecting
children and their families in Scotland.
The study is following 8,000
children annually. The second stage of GUS (2008-2013) has
recently
been commissioned by The Scottish Government. The Scottish
Centre for Social Research (ScotCen) will continue to lead
the study,
in collaboration with CRFR at the University of Edinburgh and
the MRC Social and Public Health Sciences Unit in Glasgow.

We have developed a simple, interactive quiz that provides
a fun way for families
with young children to see how they compare with other Scottish
families
