Between August 2002 and January 2004, over 200 hundred families from all walks of life enrolled in the DCHD Study as they adjusted to the birth of a new child.
These families share their thoughts and experiences about parenthood and family life with us every six months until their child is three years old. They help deepen our understanding of how families today meet the demands of their lives and raise healthy children.
Their continuing participation contributes to our knowledge about child social, emotional, and cognitive development from infancy though age three.
