For Participants

Participating in the ELVS Follow up

You and your parent have been taking part in the ELVS study since you were 8 months old! ELVS has been so important in helping us to better understand how language development shapes children’s social and emotional wellbeing, school achievement, and friendships. We were thrilled to secure funding to continue the ELVS through till the end of 2024 so we could follow ELVS young people until they were 21 years old. We hope to learn more about how language, literacy and numeracy skills can shape young people’s lives as they move into adulthood and begin making decisions about their education, occupation, health, and wellbeing.

We have finished collecting surveys from participants for this follow up. We really appreciate the time you and your parent have contributed to complete surveys and for helping to keep ELVS going. We are currently analysing the results and writing papers. We will add them to the list of publications once they have been published.
