Description	Growing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) is a major study following the development of approximately 10,000 young people and their families from all parts of Australia. It is conducted in partnership between the Department of Social Services, the Australian Institute of Family Studies and the Australian Bureau of Statistics with advice provided by a consortium of leading researchers. The study began in 2003 with a representative sample of children (who are now teens and young adults) from urban and rural areas of all states and territories in Australia. The study has a multi-disciplinary base, and examines a broad range of research questions about development and wellbeing over the life course in relation to topics such as parenting, family, peers, education, child care and health. It will continue to follow participants into adulthood. The study informs social policy and is used to identify opportunities for early intervention and prevention strategies. Participating families have been interviewed every two years from 2004, and between-wave mail-out questionnaires were sent to families in 2005 (Wave 1.5), 2007 (Wave 2.5) and 2009 (Wave 3.5). The B cohort (“Baby” cohort) of around 5,000 children was aged 0–1 years in 2003–04, and the K cohort (“Kinder” cohort) of around 5,000 children was aged 4–5 years in 2003–04. Study informants include the young person, their parents (both resident and non-resident), carers and teachers. The study links to administrative databases including Medicare (Immunisation, MBS and PBS), NAPLAN, AEDC and Centrelink – with participant consent – thereby adding valuable information to supplement the data collected during fieldwork. In 2014-15, a special one-off physical health and biomarkers assessment of parent-child pairs was undertaken in the younger cohort. The cross-generational datasets from this ‘Child Health CheckPoint’ are available in the Additional Release files.

Series	Growing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC): LSAC is a major study following the development of approximately 10,090 young people and their families from all parts of Australia. LSAC tracks children’s development and life course trajectories in today’s economic, social and political environment. Content covers multiple aspects of individual, family, community and society characteristics for each individual. It has a broad multi-disciplinary base, and examines policy-relevant questions about development and lifetime wellbeing. By tracking study participants over time, researchers will be able to determine the factors associated with consistency and change in life course pathways, trajectories in today's economic, social and political environment.

Geospatial Metadata

Geographic Coverage	Australia
Geographic Unit	State

Social Science and Humanities Metadata

Unit of Analysis	Individual
Universe	Two cohorts of children aged 0-1 (“Baby” B cohort) and 4-5 (“Kinder” K cohort) years old at the time of the first interview in 2004. Across all six waves information has been collected from the study children, their parents/carers, and teachers.
Time Method	Longitudinal/panel/cohort study
Frequency	Biennial
Sampling Procedure	Two-stage clustered sample design, with postcodes selected first, then children. Stratification was used to ensure proportional geographic representation for states/territories and capital city statistical division/rest of state areas. The sample was stratified by state, capital city statistical division/balance of state and two strata based on the size of the target population in the postcode. Postcodes were selected with probability proportional to size selection where possible, and with equal probability for small population postcodes. Children from both cohorts were selected from the same 311 postcodes. Some remote postcodes were excluded from the design, and the population estimates were adjusted accordingly. Children were selected with approximately equal chance of selection for each child (about one in 25). Apart from some remote areas, the sample was selected to be representative of all Australian children (citizens and permanent residents) in each of two selected age cohorts: (1) children born March 2003-February 2004 (B cohort); and (2) children born March 1999-February 2000 (K cohort).
Collection Mode	The majority of the data is collected through face-to-face interview. For full details of all methods used to collect the data, please refer to Section 2 (Instruments) of the LSAC Data User Guide.
Type of Research Instrument	Structured
Characteristics of Data Collection Situation	Depending on wave of data collection, the average allowed for time in the home by the interviewer varied between 90 minutes (Wave 2) and 126 minutes (Wave 1). As part of a standard ABS interviewer induction, ABS interviewers receive two weeks of intensive training across a range of standard procedures and practices. In addition, before each wave interviewers attend a 2-4 day LSAC-specific training.
Actions to Minimize Losses	Contact is maintained with study families between waves by sending birthday cards, annual calendars and newsletters and via the between-wave mail-out and online questionnaires. These processes have resulted in some families contacting the ABS to update their contact information, which helps when trying to arrange appointments for the main waves of interviewing.
Weighting	The LSAC study design, based on a complex probability sample, is specifically designed to produce valid estimates at the population level. By properly accounting for the survey design, it is possible to make valid inferences about the entire population of children in the relevant age groups. The LSAC sampling strategy has three important elements: (1) stratification to ensure proportional representation of all states and both capital city and ex-metropolitan areas; (2) clustering by postcode to both reduce field enumeration costs and allow the study of community-level effects on children’s development and wellbeing; (3) weighting to adjust for potential non-response bias and to provide population estimates. For more information please see Section 11.1 (Weighting and external validity) of the LSAC Data User Guide.
Response Rate	In Wave 1, the total number of respondents was 10,090. For subsequent waves, the response rate (calculated as a proportion of Wave 1 respondents) ranges from 89.9 per cent in Wave 2 to 61.1 per cent in Wave 8.
