BrainWaves Research Data

Explore the scale and scope of BrainWaves through participant numbers, longitudinal cohort data, demographic coverage, and the range of health-related information collected to support adolescent mental health research.

The BrainWaves cohort study brings together large-scale longitudinal data to better understand how mental health and wellbeing develop throughout adolescence.

By combining rich participant data with secure research infrastructure, the study provides researchers with a powerful resource to explore the social, behavioural, and biological factors shaping young people’s lives over time.

Below are a selection of tables and graphs that summarise the results collected in 18 key areas. These visualisations highlight factors associated with young people’s wellbeing, helping researchers understand how experiences, behaviours, and environments influence mental health over time.

The more detailed, raw information collected is available for researchers to analyse in our Informatics Hub.
