INSTRUCTIONS
The young man or woman named above is one of this national sample of 5,000 people who have been followed up since they were born in March 1946. This is the continuation of the survey with which school nurses and health visitors helped between 1946 and 1961. We have been in regular contact with the young people since 1961 and we have very full information about employment for those who started work before their eighteenth birthday, in 1964. This short interview is designed to help us to keep track of the survey sample, to provide us with the latest information about health and accidents, and to record details of changes of employment before the dates are forgotten.
Interviewers are asked to see the actual survey member named. If he / she is out, please try to make an appointment for a time when he / she will be at home. If he / she is away from home, in lodgings or at another temporary address at which he/she might be contacted by another interviewer, please pencil in the temporary address at the top of the form and return the form immediately to your Medical Officer of Health. If he / she has moved permanently, please insert the new address in ink and return the form immediately to your M.O.H. for reallocation. If the survey member is in hospital or some other institution, in the Armed Forces or abroad, so he / she is not available for interview by anyone, then any information which can be supplied by parents or relatives will be appreciated. In this case please ensure that the identity of your informant is recorded in question 15.
Please read this form through so that you are familiar with it, before setting out. In conducting the interview please ask the questions printed in bold type. Where two or more possible answers are provided please ring the code number opposite the correct one.
When you have completed the interview please return it to your Medical Officer of Health, to be forwarded to the National Survey of Health and Development, M.R.C. Unit, London School of Economics, by the end of May 1965.
INTRODUCTION
Please incorporate the following in your introductory remarks:
"All the people in the National Survey of Health and Development are now nineteen years old. A lot of information has been collected over the years about your health and about what you've been doing at school and at work. Out of all this some very important studies are being done about the way that young people grow up.
"I have been asked to see you just to keep in touch and to ask how you're getting on. This is meant to be the first of a series of very short visits which we hope to make each year at about this time. I have only a very few questions to ask you and they're quite straightforward.
"Of course, everything you say is kept strictly confidential. The staff of the Survey maintain a complete secrecy and no names are ever mentioned in reports."
