Description

An ongoing longitudinal study of the long-term outcomes of early psychosocial and biological risk factors following participants since birth. The initial sample consisted of 384 children born between 1986 and 1988 in the Rhine-Neckar region of Germany. Infants were recruited from two obstetric and six children's hospitals and were included in the sample according to a two-factorial design intended to enrich and control the risk status of the sample.
