| Description | Papers from the Second Generation Study, a sub-study of the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD). The Second Generation Study collected information from NSHD study members with children, through interviews and questionnaires. The children were also given cognitive tests at age 8 – the same tests that NSHD study members had taken when they were 8, in 1954.
These papers include blank questionnaires, blank forms, leaflets, correspondence, coding instructions, and briefing papers for interviewers.
This description of the study is taken from the NSHD’s 75th anniversary newsletter:
‘The Second Generation (2G) Study started in 1969. It was interested in looking at the upbringing, cognitive function and school circumstances of the first offspring born to men and women study members. Information was collected from mothers when the first-born children were aged 4 and again at 8 years.’ |
