Designing a Visit Schedule for Longitudinal Studies in Pediatric Research

A challenge for longitudinal studies is combining individual assessments into visits that are scientifically logical, not burdensome for participants, well-choreographed, and operationally feasible. The visits then need to be sequenced and spaced to address the scientific goals and generate a data a...

description A challenge for longitudinal studies is combining individual assessments into visits that are scientifically logical, not burdensome for participants, well-choreographed, and operationally feasible. The visits then need to be sequenced and spaced to address the scientific goals and generate a data archive that is sufficiently robust and well-documented to support subsequent analyses. This paper summarizes comprehensive multi-disciplinary activities that were coordinated to design the content, format, and structure of the National Children's Study and concurrently serve as a model and resource for other studies.
