About the webinar
As part of the MCS6 (age 14) survey, cohort members were asked to wear an activity monitor and to complete time use diaries. These data, newly available to download from the UK Data Service, offer unique and detailed insights into patterns of daily activity amongst 14-year olds in the UK today, and are an unparalleled resource for a variety of research questions. This webinar focuses on the collection, content and structure of these newly-available data.
