Abstract
The Growing Up in Scotland study (GUS) is an important longitudinal research project aimed at tracking the lives of a cohort
of Scottish children from the early years, through childhood and beyond. Its principal aim is to provide information to support
policy-making, but it is also intended to be a broader resource that can be drawn on by academics, voluntary sector
organisations and other interested parties. Focusing initially on a cohort of 5,217 children aged 0-1 years old and a cohort
of 2,859 children aged 2-3 years old, the first wave of fieldwork began in April 2005. This document is one of a series that
summarise key findings from the second sweep of the survey which was launched in April 2006. At the second sweep,
interviews were successfully completed with 4,512 respondents from the birth cohort and 2,500 from the child cohort.
