Periodic Reporting for period 1 - COORDINATE (COhort cOmmunity Research and Development Infrastructure Network for Access Throughout Europe)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2021-04-01 al 2022-09-30
The acronym COORDINATE stands for Cohort community research and development infrastructure network for access throughout Europe. Focusing on an evidence based approach to the wellbeing of children and young people, COORDINATE brings together scientists and policy makers, facilitates access to existing data resources, facilitates comparative analysis of survey data and initiates an important new Europe wide birth cohort study.
In the first 18 months, a Transnational Access programme has been developed and visits have already taken place where researchers across Europe are supported in undertaking scientific projects on existing survey data on child wellbeing. In addition, a comprehensive mapping has been initiated of people and organisations which are important in some aspect of the scientific study of and policy cycle relating to child wellbeing. Finally, an important new comparative longitudinal survey (Growing Up in Digital Europe) is being piloted in Croatia, Finland, France, and Irelands. The data collection instruments and fieldwork methodology are almost finalised.
COORDINATE will initiate and embed a broad community of scientists and policy makers working to enhance child wellbeing across Europe using cutting edge methodologies in regard to longitudinal survey data collection. By the end of COORDINATE the pilot survey will showcase the importance of the GUIDE study providing the highest quality longitudinal evidence on how children’s wellbeing changes over the life course across Europe.
