Child Development Study (CDS)
CDS is a prospective, population-based, observational cohort study comprising mothers, and their infants, in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Women in their last trimester of pregnancy were recruited during antenatal care visits either at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi (Ghana) or at the Centre de Santé Urbain à base communautaire d’Abobo in Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire). Follow-up data have been collected since April 2010 at several timepoints including recruitment (approximately 3 months before birth), birth, 3, 12 and 24 months after birth.
