The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) is a multi-generational, population-based prospective birth cohort study. Established in the early 1990s, ALSPAC follows the lives of over 14,500 people born between April 1991 and December 1992 and their family members. Children and their families have been followed intensively, primarily with annual questionnaires, as well as clinical assessments for a sub-sample of cohort members. ALSPAC was specifically designed to understand the ways in which genetic and environmental factors interact to influence health, behaviour, and development across the lifespan.

We are currently building a documentation storage system which will host useful documents related to datasets and data owners. We will surface these documents on Guidebook.
