National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health)

The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) is a large research project that tracks the health, behaviors, and social lives of thousands of people over time, starting from adolescence into adulthood. It aims to understand how factors like family, peers, schools, and communities influence health outcomes, risky behaviors, and social development. Data is collected through surveys and interviews periodically, helping researchers identify patterns and factors that affect health and well-being throughout life's stages. This ongoing study provides valuable insights to improve health policies and interventions.
