Abstract

Members of the National Child Development Study cohort attended very different
types of secondary schools, as their schooling lay within the transition
period of the comprehensive education reform in England and Wales. This
provides a natural setting to explore the impact of educational attainment and
of school quality on health and health-related behavior later in life. We use a
combination of matching methods and parametric regressions to deal with selection effects and to evaluate differences in adult health outcomes and health-related behavior for cohort members exposed to the old selective and to the new comprehensive educational systems.
