Peterborough Adolescent & Young Adult Development Study (PADS+)
PADS+ uses interviewer-led questionnaires to collect extensive data on participants and their personal, family, peer, partner, school, and work characteristics and experiences. At recruitment, the 716 participants were aged 12 to 13 years old and based in Peterborough, England. The participants were then followed up every 1 to 3 years until they were 24. At the first wave, parents were also interviewed. Included were two special small-area community surveys in 2005 and 2012, that interviewed 6,000 randomly selected residents aged over 18 years.
