Enhancing Accessibility and Unveiling Insights: New Directions of Key Developmental and Life Course Longitudinal Studies

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

Several developmental and life course studies now exist, but knowing how to access these data is often unclear. This panel aims to enhance accessibility to existing developmental and life course studies by sharing insights into data availability and access, key findings, as well as unveiling insights into new data collection efforts in development or underway. These studies include the Rochester Youth Development Study and its intergenerational extension (RIGS), the Woodlawn Study, and the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development. Each spans different historical contexts, geographic spaces, and populations offering opportunities to advance the field
