Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) is the national longitudinal study of children and young people.

This important survey gathers data on the issues facing children and young people today.

Taking Part in the Survey

What types of questions are on the GUI survey? 

GUI draws from many skills and areas of expertise to consider how children and young people develop as they grow older. In this round of the GUI survey, a wide range of questions on the experiences of the young person will be asked including topics like education, housing, pastimes, health, substance use, well-being, and relationships.

I received a letter - what happens next? 

We send out letters to families to let them know that interviews for the next round of GUI will shortly commence. We may also send you a text message. Interviewers will call to your home to complete the interview with you at a time that suits. We provide details on our letters about how you can contact us if you have questions. We will ring you back if we are unable to answer the call outside of office hours if you leave a voicemail.

Why am I receiving text messages or phone calls? 

You may remember when you took part in Growing Up in Ireland previously, you provided your contact details so that we could keep in touch. Your phone number is being used for this purpose only and is not being shared with any third parties.
