Abstract
As detailed in previous chapters, we propose a cross-sequential research design involving seven cohorts—a prenatal cohort and cohorts starting at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 years of age. We also recommend that each cohort be tracked for a period of eight years, so that cohorts will overlap with one another in age ranges; that the 12-year-old cohort have a sibling cohort attached to it; and that both the prenatal and 12-year-old cohorts include females, for a total of 2,050 females. Details of the community and sibling designs are presented elsewhere in this report. The purpose of this section is to highlight key issues in the overall sampling plan.
