Young Lives Vietnam
The Young Lives Vietnam study, part of the wider Young Lives study, began in 2002 with around 3,000 children from Vietnam. Two cohorts of children (aged 6-18 months and 7-8 years) were recruited using a sentinel site surveillance system, selecting five regions based on regional and urban/rural differences, and four communes from each region using a pro-poor selection rule based on poverty rankings. Follow-ups occur every 3-4 years to track their development over a 15-year period.
