The CSL project is ongoing giving rise to internship opportunities in data entry and analysis. Please contact the CSL team for more details.
The CSL study uses a cross- sequential longitudinal design, producing a rich
set of mixed methods data. This is generated through a nationally representative quantitative study and in-depth case studies of a sub-sample of schools.
The Children’s School Lives Study has been approved by the University College Dublin Human Research Ethics Committee.
International experts in specific areas of research design and researching with children are involved in advising the CSL team on their study methods.
