Additional Age 1 and Age 2 Data from Baby’s First Years Released!
DSDR is excited to announce the addition of new Age 1 and Age 2 data for Baby's First Years (BFY), New York City, New Orleans, Omaha, and Twin Cities, 2018-2022 (ICPSR 37871).
Supplemental data collected during Age 1 are now available. These include parent-child interactions (DS5), language environment analysis (LENA (DS5)), and electroencephalography (EEG) measures (DS6, DS7). Household roster data collected during Age 2 (DS8) were added as well. Documentation for all supplemental files is also available.
The Baby's First Years (BFY) project is a randomized controlled trial that estimates the causal impacts of unconditional cash gift payments on the cognitive, socio-emotional, and brain development of infants and toddlers in low-income U.S. families. Mothers of infants with incomes below the federal poverty line from four diverse U.S. communities (New York City, NY; New Orleans, LA; Omaha, NE; and Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN) were recruited after giving birth at one of 12 hospitals across the four study sites between May 2018 and June 2019. Quantitative data are collected at seven points: baseline after child is born, at around one year old, two years old, three, four, six, and eight years old.
Future waves of BFY data are planned for release through DSDR.
