Trajectoires EpidéMiologiques en POpulation (TEMPO)
The main objective of the TEMPO cohort is to study the risk and protective factors of trajectories of psychological difficulties or problems due to alcohol, cannabis, or other illicit drugs. With multiple waves of data collection since 1991, TEMPO study participants were followed up from childhood until adulthood (over a period of 27 years), with a link to parents’ longitudinal data from the GAZEL cohort since 1989. The majority of study participants are female (52.0%), have 3 years or more of post-secondary education (60.3%), and have an average age of 15.1 years at inclusion and 24.6 years at the end of follow-up.
