Hello Marie,

If you want to know how many 10-15 year olds living in London responded to all three youth interviews in Waves 1, 2 and 3, then the answer is 649.
If you want to know how many 10-15 year olds living in London responded to at least one of the the youth interviews in Waves 1, 2 and 3 (not necessarily all 3), then the answer is 2110.

Best wishes,

Hello Alita,

Thank you very much for the quick reply. Could you also give me the number of ten- to 15-year-olds from Greater London specifically for Wave 3? Also, to clarify, when you say London, you mean Greater London, correct?

Thank you for your help.

Marie

- In Wave 3, no. 10-15 year olds living in GOR=London who answered the youth questionnaire = 595
- Government Office Region of London

Thank you very much - very helpful.

One more question: how can the total number of respondents that were in all three waves be larger (649) than the total number of respondents in wave 3 (595)?

Okay, answered my own question ("not necessarily in all three"). Apologies for the confusion.

Okay, no, the "not necessarily in all three" was for the 2110, so actually, yes: How can the total number of respondents that were in all three waves 1, 2, and 3 be larger (649) than the total number of respondents in wave 3 (595)? Does the number of respondents in all three waves not indicate that there must be at least 649 in wave 3? (Apologies for the back and forth - I'm making this very inefficient.)

Good question. It is because I reported in person-years. So, the number of 10-15 year olds who responded in all 3 waves and lived in London = 216 youths = 216*3=649 person-year observations.

A delayed thank you! This may now be marked as resolved.
