Conception through Adolescence: Longitudinal Community-Based Studies of Children’s Health
The purpose of this session is to describe the philosophy, structure, and content of two multisite longitudinal studies of youth and their families. Each study has a unique philosophy and approach to studying youth in the context of their communities. Session participants will highlight examples of how aspects of the community are documented and quantified for the purpose of explaining sample variability in study-specific indicators of child development and adolescent well-being.
Learning Objectives: 1) Articulate the structure and content of a multisite longitudinal study of children/youth. 2) Describe the relationship between community factors and indicators of child development or adolescent well-being. 3) Describe the relationship between social network factors and measures of support, coping, and sense of community.
