11-year follow-up
The 11-year follow-up of the DNBC children was launched in July 2010. For the next 4 years we will be sending letters to 500 families every week to ask parents and their 11-year old participant to fill in our web-based questionnaire...
From 1997-2002 The Danish National Birth Cohort collected data from 100.000 pregnant women and their babies across Denmark. The 7-year follow up was conduced from 2005-2010. The next data sweep is the follow-up of our 11-year olds - starting in July 2010 and ending i 2014, when the youngest DNBC participant turns 11.
The 11-year follow up consists of 2 questionnaires - one for the mother and one for the child.
