What does the study involve?

If you have been chosen to take part in the Families and Children Study your name and address is given to an interviewer from the National Centre for Social Research who will be in touch at some point.

The interview will take place at your home at a time convenient to you.

How long will it take?

It should last for about an hour and will involve some questions which the interviewer will ask you and enter your answers into their portable computer.

Taking part is very straightforward and the interviewer will be able to help you with any problems you have. Once the interview is completed, we will not need to speak to you again for another year (apart from a very small number of you who we will invite to take part in follow-up studies). However, if your contact details (address, telephone number) change over the course of the year we would be extremely grateful if you could let us know by contacting the research team on freephone number 0800 652 4571 or at .
