Description

Growing Up in Scotland (GUS) is a longitudinal research study, tracking the lives of thousands of young people and their families from birth through to the teenage years and beyond. Launched in 2005, the main aim of the study is to provide new information to support policy-making in Scotland. Findings and insights from GUS have enhanced understanding of language development, informed youth work policies and helped both researchers and policy makers understand issues such as physical activity levels, diet, sleep and how young people experience their local areas. The study provides crucial evidence to help the Scottish Government and others develop and monitor policies and services for children, young people and their families.
