Danish High Risk and Resilience Study (VIA)
The VIA is a representative nationwide longitudinal multi-informant cohort study consisting of over 500 children born to parents with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or population-based controls. The participating families were recruited from Danish registers and investigated thoroughly when the children were 7 years old, referred to as the VIA 7 study. The second wave of assessments, the VIA 11 study, was carried out when the children were 11 years of age, and the third wave, the VIA 15 study, was carried out when the children were 15 years of age.
