> The NCDS/BCS70
> UKDA User Seminar in co-operation with the Centre for Longitudinal Studies
> Friday 23 November 2001
> Institute of Education, London
>
> The UK Data Archive and the Centre for Longitudinal Studies would like to
> extend an open invitation to all users and potential users of the National
> Child Development Study (NCDS) and 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) to
> attend a seminar.
>
> Data from the most recent follow-ups of the two surveys are now available
> from the UKDA held as a combined datsets under SN:4396. Britain has a
> unique tradition in conducting national, multi-disciplinary, longitudinal
> birth cohort studies and NCDS and BCS70 each provide information on the
> changing social, economic and health circumstances of some 16,000 people
> born in Britain in one week in 1958 and 1970 respectively.
>
> The follow-ups took place between November 1999 and September 2000, when
> the NCDS subjects were some 42 years of age, and those of BCS70 were aged
> around 30. This was the first time that both cohorts had been surveyed at
> the same time. The follow-ups were designed and implemented jointly by
> the CLS of the Institute of Education and the National Centre for Social
> Research on behalf of the Joint Centre for Longitudinal Research.
> Information in this combined wave includes the household; housing, family,
> social relationships, and support, income, school exclusion and truancy,
> citizenship, employment, health and related behaviour.
>
> Speakers from the Centre for Longitudinal Studies will present an overview
> of the surveys, covering issues relating to the design, fieldwork and
> processing of the surveys and analysis of the combined data. In the
> afternoon four case studies will be presented by academics demonstrating
> analysis of the surveys. The UK Data Archive will then introduce its work
> as a key service provider of social science and historical data resources,
> with a demonstration of the NESSTAR system (a suite of online tools for
> browsing and analysing data).
>
> The one day seminar will be held at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies
> based at the Institute of Education in central London. The programme and
> booking form is attached below and from Monday 8 October can be found at:
> http://www.data-archive.ac.uk/home/archiveNews.asp
