The BCS70 began in 1970 when data were collected about the 17,198 babies born in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in the week 5-11 April.
At this time, the study was named the British Births Survey (BBS) and it was sponsored by the National Birthday Trust Fund, in association with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Since 1970, there have been four attempts to gather information from the full cohort - when they were aged 5, 10, 16 and 26 years. 90 were traced and completed one or more survey documents.
In 1975 and 1980, the cohort was augmented by the inclusion of immigrants to Britain who were born in the target week in 1970. Subjects from Northern Ireland who had been included in the birth survey, were dropped from the study in all subsequent sweeps.
The BCS70 Ten-year Follow-up is the second full national follow-up of the 1970 cohort born in Great Britain 5-11 April 1970. The cohort has been surveyed comprehensively at birth, five, ten, 16 and 26 years, and samples were seen at 22 months, 42 months, seven and 21 years. The BCS70 Ten-year Follow-up was originally titled the Child Health and Education Study (CHES), but in 1991 the whole 1970 Cohort Study was renamed the British Cohort Study 1970 (BCS70) and the ten-year sweep became known as BCS70 Ten-year Follow-up.
