Growing Up Healthy Study (GUHS)
The GUHS was established to determine whether the long-term health of offspring conceived through assisted reproductive technologies (ART) differs from that of the general population. This was investigated by comparing health parameters with those of a representative population of offspring conceived without ART from the Raine Study. GUHS recruited approximately 300 adolescents and young adults conceived after ART, who were born between 1991 and 2001 in fertility clinics in Perth, Western Australia. Assessments took place between 2013 and 2017, when participants were aged 14, 17 and 20 years.
