Jerusalem Perinatal Family Follow-Up Study
The JPS Family Follow-Up Study continues the Jerusalem Perinatal Study (JPS), which followed the perinatal experiences of mothers of a birth cohort born between 1974 and 1976. This cohort follows the offspring of the JPS study participants and their mothers. At baseline, the study recruited over 1,400 mothers who had given post-partum interviews in 1974-76 and over 1,400 of their children. Fathers and siblings were recruited to provide additional information in 2011.
