Young People's Citizenship in Scotland, Longitudinal Qualitative Materials 2017-2022

2017-2022 longitudinal qualitative research materials from a study tracking one cohort of young people in Scotland from ages 15 to 22. The dataset includes project reports, data management plans, consent forms, interview guides, and a coding framework, deposited by author Christine Huebner. The study documented how young people made sense of their roles as citizens and decisions about civic and political engagement.

• Includes methodological documentation such as a technical report and data management plan.
• Ethical approval is documented from three university ethics committees.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations
