Abstract
Next Steps, previously known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England, is an ongoing, multidisciplinary longitudinal study of 16 122 people born in 1989–90. The most recent sweep of data took place when participants were aged 32 (2022–23). Data are available for 7279 respondents. The study follows individuals from adolescence through to adulthood and collects data on many aspects of life, allowing researchers and policy makers from different disciplines to document stability and change both across life and between generations. Next Steps includes measures of economic circumstances, family life, health behaviour, wellbeing, experiences during COVID-19 pandemic, and attitudes. Saliva samples were also collected at age 32, from which DNA was extracted and genotyped, which will enable researchers to unpack the genetic underpinnings of individual differences in social and behavioural outcomes. The Next Steps data are free to access and have been linked to administrative data, including health and education records, and can be linked to geospatial and environmental data. Detailed information is available on the Next Steps website [https://cls.ucl.ac.uk/cls-studies/next-steps/]. The data are available to researchers from the UK Data Service [http://ukdataservice.ac.uk], UK Longitudinal Linkage Collaboration [https://ukllc.ac.uk/datasets] and Office for National Statistics Secure Research Service [https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/whatwedo/statistics/requestingstatistics/secureresearchservice].
