2019 Rio Grande Birth Cohort
The 2019 Rio Grande Birth Cohort investigates the life course epidemiology of maternal and child mental health and its intergenerational transmission. In 2019, the study recruited over 2,000 mothers who delivered a singleton liveborn child that weighed ≥500 g or had reached at least 20 weeks’ gestational age in Rio Grande, Southern Brazil. Mother-child dyads were assessed within 48 hours after delivery. Two follow-up assessments were conducted in 2020, as well as in 2021 to 2022, and 2023 to 2024. The study plans an additional follow-up in 2025, including new cohort members, and further follow-ups over the next five years.
