In cohort studies, information is usually collected from the study participants directly (or from their parents when they are very young). However, some studies also collect data from other people, including siblings, grandparents and teachers.
Of course, in a household panel, all members of the household participate in the study. This could include family members, but also housemates or flatmates in the case of shared accommodation. We’ll learn more about household panels later in this module.
Some studies link individual survey responses to administrative (government) records, with the consent of the participants. You can learn more about linking to government records in the Study Design module.
