Longitudinal studies: an overview

This animation provides a brief introduction to longitudinal studies and how they can help us understand how life is changing. It is the first in a series of five animations designed to teach non-experts the basics of longitudinal studies.
Each animation relates to a key section of the CLOSER Learning Hub (learning.closer.ac.uk), our online educational resource which aims to help those new to longitudinal studies better understand the value of these studies and how to use the data.
The five animations focus on the following topics:
- Longitudinal studies: an overview
- Types of longitudinal studies
- Data collection tools
- Sampling
- Using longitudinal data for research
