    Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) is the national longitudinal study of children in Ireland. The main aim of the study is to describe the status of two representative samples of children in Ireland and how they are developing in the current social, economic, and cultural environment. The data in the IQDA are from the first wave of qualitative research conducted between April and August 2008 with a sample of 120 families from the nine-year cohort of GUI. More information about this national longitudinal study can be found on the Growing Up in Ireland website.
