Description	In 2003 a nationally representative sample of about 12,500 15 year-old students was selected to participate in the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This group of young people became the third cohort of the LSAY program (LSAY Y03). As part of PISA, assessments in mathematical literacy, reading literacy, scientific literacy and problem-solving were administered in schools to provide information on student achievement. Students also completed a background questionnaire about themselves, their families, educational and vocational plans, attitudes to school, attitudes towards learning mathematics, relationships with teachers and peers, and perceptions of the school and classroom environments. In a follow-up telephone interview, students provided further information about their post-school, work experience, workplace learning and work situation. In 2004, members of the Y03 cohort were contacted for their annual LSAY telephone interviews. The questionnaire for their 2004 interview included questions on school, transitions from school, post-school education and training, work, job history, job search activities, health, living arrangements, finance and general attitudes. Subsequent surveys asked similar questions, but with the emphasis changing from school to post-school education, training and work, depending on the young person’s circumstances. Since 2012, respondents were given the option to complete their interviews online. The final wave of interviewing (wave 11) took place in 2013 when respondents were, on average, 25 years of age.

Data Type	Survey data
Series	The Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) is a survey program that tracks groups of young Australians with the aim of studying their transition from school to further education and work. It uses large, nationally representative samples of young people to collect information about education and training, employment and social development. The LSAY program brings together two existing, long-established projects: the Youth in Transition survey conducted by the Australian Council for Educational Research, and the Australian Youth Survey conducted by the former Australian Department of Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs. Survey participants (collectively known as a 'cohort') enter the study when they turn 15 years old, or as was the case in earlier studies, when they were in Year 9. Individuals are contacted annually until they are 25 years of age. Studies began in 1995, 1998, 2003, 2006, 2009 and more recently in 2015. About 14,000 students start out in each cohort. Since 2003, the first survey wave has been integrated with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Further information about the LSAY program is available from the LSAY website. Visit the User support and documentation page for the range of resources and tools available to support researchers and data users in using the LSAY data.

Sampling Procedure	In 2003, a nationally representative sample of approximately 12 500 15-year-old students was selected to participate in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) conducted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The sampling process undertaken was a two-stage sampling scheme. The first stage of the sample is that schools were selected with a probability proportional to the enrolment size of 15 year-olds. At the second stage, a list of each school’s 15 year-old students was prepared and from each list, 50 students were randomly selected with equal probability. In schools with fewer than 50 students, all 15-year-olds were selected. The 2003 PISA sample comprised 355 schools from all states and territories. This sample was designed to be representative of students across Australia, using state/territory, school sector and region (metropolitan or non-metropolitan) as strata. Smaller jurisdictions and Indigenous students were oversampled to ensure that reliable results could be produced by state and Indigenous status. The final 2003 PISA sample size was 12,551 individuals. Of these, 10 370 were successfully contacted to undertake a follow-up telephone interview in 2003. Further information can be accessed from the ‘Related materials’ documentation.
Collection Mode	Wave 1: self-completion questionnaire and follow-up telephone interview From wave 2: telephone interviews From wave 10: telephone interviews + online option
Type of Research Instrument	Structured
Characteristics of Data Collection Situation	Data is initially collected through a combination of school achievement tests and a questionnaire administered at school as part of PISA. Follow-up telephone interviews were conducted to collect additional data at wave 1. From wave 2, data is gathered using telephone interviews. From wave 10, respondents were given the option to complete their interview online.
Actions to Minimize Losses	Sample members are sent a calendar and/or newsletter to acknowledge their participation in LSAY. Sample members were also sent a letter prior to the start of the fieldwork to reinforce their involvement and advise them of the forthcoming interview. At this time, sample members are also asked to update their contact details. All interviewers and supervisors participated in a three-hour briefing to review the interviewing skills required and to ensure they had a clear understanding of the project’s requirements and background. Since 2007, interviewing has been compliant with the ISO 20252 standard.
Weighting	All LSAY data can be weighted to compensate for non-random attrition from the sample and adjust for clustering effects in the original sample designs. Further information is available from: > LSAY 2003 cohort user guide > Weighting the LSAY PISA cohorts > PISA 2003 technical report > PISA 2003 country report (Australia).
Cleaning Operations	Random checks were conducted on the data by the archive for missing variable and value labels, out of range values and wild codes, logical inconsistencies, and confidentiality. If any errors or problems with the data are found, please contact lsay@ncver.edu.au.
Response Rate	The 2003 cohort surveyed 10,370 young people who turned 15 in 2003. Further information is available from: > LSAY 2003 cohort user guide > LSAY QuickStats
