Abstract:
:Longer-term follow-up of infants with specific health concerns, such as low birthweight, is critical to assessing the effect of medical interventions. This report examines the approach of reconstructing previously studied cohorts in terms of the factors discriminating between respondents and non-respondents. Follow-up was attempted during 1987-1988 for 1875 children born during a 6-month period in 1978 in three geographically defined regions in the United States, for whom 1-year assessments of health and developmental status were obtained at 1 year of age as part of a previous study. For a 25% sample, participation involved a clinic visit for developmental assessments; for the remainder an interview by telephone or home visit. Follow-up was obtained for 72.5% of the cohort. Refusal rates were low (7%); most non-response was due to an inability to locate the families. Predictors of non-response reflected primarily low socio-economic status; completion rates were not influenced by mode of assessment. The role of a tracing agency is discussed. We conclude that cohort reconstruction is feasible with response rates comparable to some prospective studies with ongoing cohort maintenance.
