Growing Up in Scotland is a longitudinal research study, tracking the lives of thousands of young people and their families from the early years, through childhood and as they move into adulthood.
The Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) is a large-scale linkage study created using data from administrative and statistical sources. These include: census data from 1991 onwards; vital events data (births, deaths, marriages); NHS Central Register data (gives information on migration into or out of Scotland); and education data (including Schools Census and SQA data).
