“…The rationale behind the inclusion of the methods in Table 2 is to generate a comprehensive understanding of the multiplicity of factors influencing how young people in Bradford live their lives, and how this may change over time. This will allow us to document social transformations in participants’ lives ( Carpentieri et al ., 2023 ). There are limitations to relying solely on traditional qualitative methods, as no data, however collected, can reflect every aspect of all individual experiences.…”

“…Discussion You sensibly suggest that your study will “juxtapose qualitative and quantitative findings, whilst also exploring additional methods of synthesis”. Given the richness of the qualitative and quantitative data that will be available to you, you may want to explore the production of mixed methods pen portraits such as those outlined in Carpentieri, Carter & Jeppesen (2023) 1 . Laura Sheard has of course done interesting work on qualitative pen portraits.…”

Bradford is multi-ethnic and one of the most deprived districts in the United Kingdom where around a quarter of children live in low-income families. Born in Bradford (BiB) has followed the lives of 13,776 children born in the district between 2007 and 2011. Children in the birth cohort are now entering adolescence, and the next phase of the research - Age of Wonder (AoW) - will be a whole city cohort capturing the experiences of 30,000 adolescents progressing into young adulthood. This protocol focuses on one component of the AoW programme: qualitative longitudinal research (QLR). The study will gather in depth and detailed accounts from a sub-sample of 100 young people across four major research priorities: personal life; social and community life; growing up with difference, and growing up in Bradford. As well as using traditional qualitative methods such as interviews, focus group discussions, and ethnography, we are adopting innovative creative methods including expressions through art, activism, online and digital content, portraits, and critical events. The process of engaging in and co-producing QLR potentially provides a route to empowering young people to shape the narrative of their own lives as well as informing intervention development.

This chapter explores the ways in which individuals have figured within longitudinal research in the social sciences. It raises questions about the implications of the self-tracking movement, and ‘personal informatics’, for future research practices. This chapter discusses the importance of focusing on what can be considered as ‘figure’ and ‘ground’ in research and in representations of individuals’ lives. There is a focus on understanding figure and ground in temporal terms—contrasting the events and experiences that structure personal life narratives with the routines of daily life which are often almost unnoticed. This chapter draws on exemplars from Britain’s portfolio of national longitudinal studies of individuals’ lives and highlights an emerging set of methods focused on reconstructing individual cases within quantitative longitudinal research.
