Summary

DATA PAPER

Steps (formerly known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England). Study members were recruited via schools in England when they were aged 13–14 in 2004. They were interviewed annually for seven waves until they were aged 19/20 in 2010. An additional wave of data collection (wave 8) will take place in 2015/2016 when the study members will be aged 25/26. The information collected from waves 1–7 of the study covers family background and parents’ employment status, young person’s characteristics, attitudes, experiences and behaviours and education and schooling. The coverage of study will be broadened at wave 8 to collect more information about health and well-being and identity and participation, as well as family and relationships, employment, education and income. All cohort members who had taken part in one or more waves of the study will be re-contacted in 2015/2016
