4.5 Summary of New Topics

A number of recommendations for new topics in the family relationships and socio-

emotional well-being domain arose from the consultation process and reviews of

other research. Some additional topics that were mentioned but ultimately not

selected for recommendation for inclusion include further information on

relationships within the home, data linkage related to access to courts and hospitals,

non-cognitive traits, and gamification and its links to gambling.

Both topics that were subsequently recommended for inclusion in the survey for

Cohort 24 at age 3, and those that were considered but ultimately not recommended

have been scored according to the main criteria in Table 4.2. Topics that were raised

during the consultations but are already listed under ‘continuing topics’ are not

included here.

achieved maximum marks on these.
