The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study is the largest long-term study of this type, relating to the relationship between cognitive development and subject health in the United States. It was launched in 2015, just before participants’ adolescence (11,878 subjects aged 9–10 years), at 21 research sites across the country to augment data collection such as neuropsychological assessments, biopsies and structural and functional neuroimaging data. The follow-up is planned to last 10 years. In addition to obtaining a nationally representative sample on adolescent brain development, other themes have been added to the survey: gender influences and, cardiovascular and hematological health.

To conclude this brief methodological presentation, there have, of course, been other longitudinal studies around the world, but the sample presented above is representative of the main types.
