description |
The study is designed to produce
both cross-sectional and longitudinal data on a Scotland wide
sample of 8000 children from two cohorts – 5000 babies
(aged around 10 months) and 3000 toddlers (aged around 34 months).
The interview collects information from the child’s main
carer about the characteristics, circumstances and experiences
of young children and their parents and explores issues such
as health, education, pregnancy, birth, childcare and parenting.
Over time, it will generate a better understanding of how a
child’s start in life can shape his or her longer term
prospects and development. The project is being funded by the
Scottish Executive and carried out by the Scottish Centre for
Social Research in collaboration with CRFR. |
