Preschoolers' Adjustment and Intergenerational Risk Project (PAIR Project)
The PAIR Project aimed to understand how family exposure to adversity affects children's health and well-being over time and to determine what helps children exposed to maltreatment adjust and be resilient. Participants were over 300 children from low-income families and their legal guardians, recruited through community and social care services in the Midwestern United States of America. Recruitment and baseline data collection began in 2016, and participants were assessed a total of four times. The study was completed in 2021.
