The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) was formerly called the Avon Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood.
ALSPAC is also known locally as Children of the 90s.
ALSPAC recruited more than 14,000 pregnant women with estimated dates of delivery between April 1991 and December 1992. These women, the children arising from the index pregnancy and the women's partners have been followed up since then and detailed data collected throughout childhood.
ALSPAC is a two-generational resource available to study the genetic and environmental determinants of development and health.
