All models additionally include controls for age (continuous), sex, British/Irish white ethnicity, family type, number of children in household, whether the interview took place during the school holidays, neighbourhood type, mover status, survey design and year. Models VII to XI additionally include the two interacted variables (i.e., a dummy for aged 12–15 and the respective income or material deprivation indicator). The number of person-year observations in each model is N = 24,375
