Desenvolvimentu Isin-d’iak Labarik no Inan birth cohort study (DILI)
The DILI cohort study examines transgenerational impacts of armed conflict and adversity on infant and parent/caregiver mental health. The study recruited all women in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy attending community health centres in Becora, Bairo Pite/Vera Cruz, Comoro and Formosa in the Dili municipality of Timor Leste. This resulted in approximately 400 participants from each centre creating a total cohort of over 1,600 participants.
