From Child to Adult: The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development StudyPhil A. Silva, Warren R. Stanton The DMHDS is an ongoing longitudinal study of the health and development of 1037 babies born in Dunedin between 1/4/1972 and 31/3/1973. The study has been productive; more than 500 publications have appeared, over half in referenced journals published in New Zealand, North America, and the UK.This book offers a description of the overall study and the methods used, and presents selected results in a reasonably non-technical way. The sample is remarkably large; the children were studies at birth and followed up at age 3, then every year until 15, then at 18 and 21. See contents list forfurther details. |
