Access to MCS datasets

Free access to study descriptions, online variable lists and online documentation, including questionnaires is available to all users and does not require registration. Registered users (see Login/register) can download datasets (usually in SPSS, Stata or tab-delimited formats) or place an order (if unable to download, or if a different format or a CD is required).

Some of these data are also available to non-commercial registered users to analyse, visualise, subset and download online. Frequencies are also freely available for all users without registration. See Millennium Cohort Study First Survey 2001-2003.

See Restrictions on use for information about passing data to other ESDS registered users.

All users using data for non-commercial purposes can obtain the data at no cost. If data are requested on portable media e.g. CD, handling and postage and packing fees will apply. See Charges.
