Pathways to Adulthood Study: A Three-Generation Urban Study (PAS)
The PAS was a follow-up of the Johns Hopkins Collaborative Perinatal Study (JHCPS) cohort and their children. JHCPS was a survey of pregnant women seeking prenatal care and delivery at Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, United States of America) during 1960 to 1964 (G1) and their children born in 1960 to 1965 (G2). PAS includes G1 and G2 who completed assessments at 7 or 8 years old as part of JHCPS. In addition, the children of G2 aged 7 to 8 during the follow up period from 1992 to 1994 were also assessed (G3). The PAS follow-up assessments of G1, G2 and G3 were completed in 1992 to 1994 and are linked to previous data on G1 and G2 collected for JHCPS.
