Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to the second wave of the Children’s World study which generated the data on which this book is based. It provides details of the structure and content of the survey questionnaires; the selection of countries to take part in the study; the sampling strategies used within countries; research ethics; how the survey was administered; data preparation and cleaning; and the final achieved sample. Further information about these topics is available from an initial comparative report on the second wave (Rees and Main 2015) and from the project website. Some basic information about statistical analysis procedures is also provided in the final section of the chapter.
