The PRIDE Study: Evaluation of online methods of data collection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Large birth cohort studies are extremely valuable in assessing associations between early life exposures and long-term outcomes. Establishing new birth cohorts is challenging due to declining participation rates. Online methods of data collection may increase feasibility, but have not been evaluated thoroughly.

Population

Dutch women aged ≥18 years in early pregnancy.
