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.
布拉德福德是一个多民族地区，也是英国最贫困的地区之一，约四分之一的儿童生活在低收入家庭。“布拉德福德出生队列研究”（BiB）跟踪了2007年至2011年间在该地区出生的13776名儿童的生活。该出生队列中的儿童现在正步入青春期，研究的下一阶段——“奇妙时代”（AoW）——将以整个城市为队列，记录3000名青少年步入青年期的经历。本方案聚焦于AoW项目的一个组成部分：定性纵向研究（QLR）。该研究将从100名年轻人的子样本中，围绕四个主要研究重点深入收集详细信息：个人生活；社会和社区生活；在差异中成长，以及在布拉德福德成长。除了使用访谈、焦点小组讨论和人种志等传统定性方法外，我们还采用创新的创造性方法，包括通过艺术、行动主义、在线和数字内容、肖像以及关键事件进行表达。参与和共同开展定性纵向研究的过程有可能为增强年轻人塑造自己生活故事的能力提供一条途径，同时也为干预措施的制定提供信息。
