Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (CLHNS)
CLHNS is an ongoing study of a cohort of Filipino women living in Metro Cebu who gave birth between May 1, 1983, and April 30, 1984. A baseline interview was conducted among 3,327 women during the 6th to 7th month of pregnancy so that all births, including preterm births, could be identified. Subsequent surveys took place immediately after birth, then at bimonthly intervals for 24 months. As of March 2024, index children have been followed through adolescence and into young adulthood until 2007, and the CHLNS is tracking their offspring.
