Summary View help for Summary
This study examines levels of and changes in telomere length and DNA methylation among child and adolescent participants in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study and to identify early social environmental predictors of these variable genetic characteristics. The study strengthens the mode experiment in the NICHD-funded 15-year Fragile Families survey by conducting an additional 250 in-person adolescent interviews. The dataset combines a population-based design, richly detailed longitudinal data on the child since birth, a sample with especially large exposure to harsh environments, DNA markers, telomere length and DNA methylation measures at two time points. The data gathered in this study allow for several new explorations into the interplay of genes, environment, and health.
