Cohort members have been surveyed throughout their childhood and adult lives, mapping their individual trajectories and creating a unique resource for researchers. It is one of very few longitudinal studies following people of this generation anywhere in the world. Since 1970, cohort members have been surveyed at ages 5, 10, 16, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42, 46, and 51. Featuring a range of objective measures and rich self-reported data, BCS70 covers an incredible amount of ground and can be used in research on many topics. Evidence from BCS70 has illuminated important issues for our society across five decades. Key findings include how reading for pleasure matters for children's cognitive development, why grammar schools have not reduced social inequalities, and how childhood experiences can impact on mental health in mid-life. Every day researchers from across the scientific community are using this important study to make new connections and discoveries. BCS70 is run by the <a href="https://cls.ucl.ac.uk/cls-studies/1970-british-cohort-study/" target="_blank">Centre for Longitudinal Studies</a> (CLS), a research centre in the UCL Institute of Education, which is part of University College London.

Secure Access datasets Secure Access versions of BCS70 have more restrictive access conditions than versions available under the standard End User Licence (EUL). The BCS70 Birth and 22-Month Sub-sample The aims of the birth survey and the 22-month sub-sample survey were to assess obstetric services and the quality of life in the first week of life, and to attempt to identify foetal malnutrition and to investigate its effect on the subsequent development of the child. For the third edition (May 2013) a new derived variables data file was deposited with accompanying documentation, and existing data files edited accordingly. See the documents covering Derived Variables and Region Variables for further details. Main Topics: Social, biological and medical features of the mother and baby. Great BritainUnited Kingdom NationalIndividuals Children born in one particular week in 1970. The Birth sample covered the United Kingdom while the 22-month Sub-sample covered Great Britain only. Numeric Longitudinal/panel/cohort No sampling (total universe)One-stage stratified or systematic random sampleThe Birth sample (A) included all babies born (alive or dead) after the 24th week of gestation, in one particular week in 1970 in the United Kingdom. The 22-month sub-sample (B) is a 10% sample of the live births in (A) plus all multiple births, all singleton children born at later than 42 weeks gestation, and all singleton children who were on or below the 5th centile of birthweight for their length of gestation. Face-to-face interviewObservationSome information for the Birth Sample (A) was also provided by midwives.
