In this webinar, Praveetha and Vanessa will showcase examples of mental health research using the 1958 National Child Development Study, the 1970 British Cohort Study, Next Steps (born 1989-90), and the Millennium Cohort Study (born 2000-02), illustrating different research designs and methods.

They will explain the value of taking a life course approach and mapping trajectories, as well as the opportunities for comparing differences across cohorts and the complex issue of measure harmonisation.


This online event will be useful to researchers across sectors and career stages with an interest in carrying out mental health research.
