Earlier phases of the Southampton Women’s Survey (SWS) have helped us to understand the things that influence the way children and young people grow and develop. We now want to find out about the lives of the SWS young people in late adolescence and early adulthood. We are interested in learning about diet, physical activity and other health behaviours as well as experiences with education, social media, and relationships with friends and family. We are inviting SWS young people to complete our survey when they are aged 17 to 19 years of age. We are writing to mothers to ask them to help us by passing on letters and questionnaires to their sons or daughters. Young people will also have the option to complete the questionnaire online. Preliminary work we did last year suggests that questionnaire completion online or on paper will take 15 to 20 minutes. Young people will receive a £20 Amazon gift voucher following completion of the questionnaire.

Please contact us if you think you are eligible, and are interested in taking part. Our Freephone number is: 0800 7834503 or email: sws@soton.ac.uk sws@soton.ac.uk

We are very grateful for your continued support for the SWS.
