Korean Youth Panel Survey (KYPS)
The KYPS aimed to identify and explain the behaviors and changing perceptions of adolescents in South Korea. In 2003, the study recruited around 3,500 South Korean children in the second grade of middle school (13 to 15 years old) and their parents. In 2004, the study recruited around 2,800 South Korean children in the fourth grade of elementary school (11 years old) and their parents. Both cohorts were followed annually until 2008.
