4.4 Summary of Continuing Topics

The table below lists the continuing topics in the areas of relationships and socio-

emotional well-being that are recommended for continuation for Cohort 24 at 3

years. Their scoring against the five core criteria is also provided. Note that

subtopics which were included in both Cohort 24 at 9 months and Cohort 08 at 3

years – even if not the same actual questions – are weighted as ‘2’ under the heading

of ‘longitudinal/cross-cohort consistency’. If a topic appeared in just one of the

source questionnaires – that is, offering either a longitudinal or a cross-cohort

comparison but not both – it is scored as ‘1’. In a small number of cases, if the topic

featured in both waves but the measurement was very different then a score of 1 on

the consistency criterion was recorded.

For ease of reading, the scores against the supporting criteria (e.g. being age

appropriate) are not included; but most topics will have achieved maximum marks on

these.
