The first wave (Time 1) had many different patterns of participation and instrument implementation. Some instruments were used initially and then eventually dropped, while other instruments were added after some families participated. Waves also had complex, multi-visit assessment schedules that some families had difficulty fulfilling. The complexities had resulted in a wide range for the number of participants completing various instruments.
