National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY)

The National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) is a long-term research study conducted by Statistics Canada that tracks the development, health, and well-being of children and youth over time. It collects detailed information from families about various aspects such as physical health, mental health, education, and social environment. By following the same group of children at different ages, the survey helps identify patterns and factors that influence their growth and development, providing valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and health professionals to improve programs and services for young Canadians.
