ALSPAC in the news
18 April 2012
On Sunday 8 April, The Observer's ‘Discover’ supplement published a Health Research feature entitled ‘The Bristol babies who are unlocking the secrets of life’ . The piece, by journalist Robin McKie, celebrated the 21st anniversary of the Avon Longitudinal Study Of Parents And Children (ALSPAC). Also known the Children of the 90s, the Bristol University-based project is a cohort study of children born in Avon in the west of England between 1991 and 1992. The DNA and lifestyle data taken from the children and their mothers has created a unique information resource for scientists and researchers.
