Here's some info copied from the website:
Growing Up in New Zealand is a new longitudinal study of New Zealand-born children, led by the University of Auckland. It is a research project to gather information about a group of 7,800 children from the Auckland, Counties-Manukau and Waikato district health board areas from before their births until they are adults. http://www.growingup.co.nz/ |

I'm doing one run by Massey University that is looking at the risks of developing asthma comparing rural kids to suburban. Anyone else? -------------

This sounds very interesting, but I think I am not in the right area. Doesn't look like they do North Shore City. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm doing the Massey allergies and asthma in rural vs urban kids, and their sleep in pregnancy and PND one too probably although that one is just getting organised now. Too far south for growing up in NZ one. I think they should rename it "growing up in Auckland and Waikato" myself  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
