BiB4ALL
The BiB4All study aims to link routinely collected health, social care, and education data locally to build a picture of child health and development, and use this as a local intelligence tool to inform and evaluate local policy and practice. Participants are babies born in Bradford, United Kingdom, and their mothers. Since 2019, women have been invited to participate in the study at routine maternity appointments. As of November 2024, almost 20,000 mother-child dyads have been enrolled in the study, and routinely collected data from different organisations are linked.
