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.

It was designed to review and evaluate mid-childhood health, care, education, social and family environment throughout Britain. A number of considerations influenced the development of the survey instrumentation used. A major factor was the desire to examine 10-year-old children's educational achievement and the ways in which it is influenced by other events, and a wide range of earlier developmental, educational, social and health factors recorded previously on the same cohort and in particular the effects of: pre-school education and daycare; and learning difficulties. Health itself was another major focus of the follow-up, to provide a comparison with information gathered during the 5-year follow-up. The comprehensive nature of the data gathered in this longitudinal BCS study from birth onwards enables examination of the effects on the 10-year child's education, health and general progress, of perinatal problems, serious childhood illnesses and critical episodes in the family or social environment. A separate subset study conducted at the same time, covering 10-year follow-up respondents with special educational needs- see SN 7064. Latest edition information: For the seventh edition (October 2023), a small number of primary identifiers (BCSID) have been changed in the bcs3derived data file to realign them to other BCS70 data. Additionally, a correction to the units was made to the variable label for meb19.1 in the sn3723 data file. Main Topics: Some 15 separate survey documents were used, comprising manuals, assessments, self-completion questionnaires, interview schedules, and a medical examination record. The questionnaires were distributed as two packs known as the Educational Pack and the Health Pack. Five types of instruments were used: self-completion questionnaires (completed by the child, parent, and teacher); interviews (with parents); medical examination (of the child); tests (completed by the child); and measurement scales (completed by the child, parents and teachers). Information gathered from parents included: the child's medical history; accidents; hospital admissions; clinic attendance; use of health services; the child at school; child's skills; child's behaviour; parent's level of education; occupation of parents; type of accommodation; household amenities; and type of neighbourhood. Information provided by the medical examination included: disability and chronic illness; height and weight; head circumference; blood pressure; pulse; near and distant vision; audiometry; laterality; and co-ordination. Information provided by schools included: school composition: curriculum; discipline and ethos; teacher's assessment of child's ability and behaviour. Information provided by the study subjects included: academic success: smoking; attitudes to school; food and drink consumed; locus of control; self-esteem; personality; social judgement; and mathematics; reading; vocabulary; writing, copying and spelling tests. Standard Measures The measurement scales employed included: Rutter A Scale of child behaviour deviance; Conners Hyperactivity/Behaviour Scale; Neurodevelopment Scale; Lifeskills Scale; Expressive Language Scale; Reading Test, Mathematics Test, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning Test, Picture Language Comprehension Test; Lawseq (Self-esteem Scale); Caraloc (Locus of Control Scale); Malaise Inventory (Mother). 1980 - 198101 January 198001 January 1981 Great Britain NationalIndividuals BCS70 cohort members; parents of BCS70 cohort members; teachers in schools attended by BCS70 cohort members.
