1970 British Cohort Study
<div>Acknowledgements The preparation for the 1970 Birth Cohort Study (BCS70) was originally laid down in the British Births Study. This was organised and funded mainly by the National Birthday Trust and the Royal College of Obstetricians. The Medical Research Council (MRC) funded sample follow-ups at 22 and 42 months both directed by Dr Chamberlain. Neville Butler directed the 5-year, 7-year, 10-year and subsequently the 16- year follow-ups. John Bynner has directed subsequent followups at 21 years (a 10 per cent sample) and 26 years. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>The Twenty-six year Follow-up was funded mainly by a grant from the Economic and Social Research Council, with additional contributions from the Royal Free Hospital and the International Centre for Child Studies. </div>
