Abstract
For over 20 years Children of the 90s (or ALSPAC) has charted the health of 14,500 parents and
children. Now in its third decade it has started to study the next generation, the children of the
Children of the 90s. The study is unequalled by other population studies because of the breadth
and depth of information it holds on participants from before birth over 20 years ago through to the
present day. It is internationally renowned and used by researchers worldwide. The data allow
researchers to study key periods of development, how certain conditions develop and change over
time and are passed (or not) from one generation to the next, and how health is affected by the
interplay between genes and other factors like smoking, where people live and the job they do.
Our goals are to ensure the resource remains sustainable and open to researchers to use, and
that participants remain engaged. We will continue to gather information from the original children
through clinical assessments, questionnaires and record linkage, and will be recruiting and
gathering data on the children of the children as well as merging genetic data and enhancing research in the exciting new field of epigenomics.

Technical Summary
The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) is a prospective cohort study with
unprecedented scope and detail of information on thousands of people from before birth through
to early adulthood, on their parents and now on their children. It is an internationally valued
resource at the forefront of population-based research. ALSPAC allows the investigation of
developmental trajectories marking critical periods in human life, the genetic and epigenetic
factors contributing to health and disease and the environmental exposures which form the context
within which these processes act. As ALSPAC participants enter adulthood and start having
children, the study's potential to contribute to scientific discovery is expanding, giving a greater
capacity to explore links between current and future health and the intergenerational components
of health and disease. ALSPAC is unequivocally the richest open-access epidemiological resource
in the world. Our goals are to ensure that ALSPAC (i) is sustained, (ii) has participation maximised
and (iii) is enhanced. These goals will be delivered by follow-up of the original cohort through clinic
assessment, questionnaires and record linkage, data collection on their children, consolidation of
GWAS data on all participants and the development of epigenomics research.

Impact | Pearson RM, et al. Prevalence of Prenatal Depression Symptoms Among 2 Generations of Pregnant Mothers. JAMA Network Open 2018, 1:e180725 KEY IMPACT - The findings have had global media attention including live tv and radio and the results have been commented on by the Royal College of Midwives and the Maternal Mental Health Alliance. The work is new and has not yet delivered measurable policy change, but highlights the need for increased support for young pregnant women in the current enviro-socio-economic climate. The research has already supported national campaigns to facilitate universal screening for depression (and anxiety) by midwives, for the prioritisation of pregnant women for free psychological therapies and for provision of specialist perinatal mental health community mental health teams across the UK. |

Impact | Sarah Bath - University of Surrey- able to look back in time to maternal iodine status in early pregnancy so that we could explore the relationship with child cognition. Using ALSPAC was cost-effective as cognitive measures were available in the child, and samples were available from the mother which we could use for the measurement of maternal iodine status. ALSPAC, unlike many other biobanks had urine samples from very early in pregnancy - which was the time that we were interested in. Iodine and thyroid hormones are required from conception and during the first half of pregnancy the mother is the sole source of thyroid hormone and so adequate iodine is critical; we therefore wanted to measure iodine status as early as possible. ALSPAC also had dietary information, via the food frequency questionnaire completed in pregnancy, which we have been able to use in our follow-on project (EUthyroid - a Horizon 2020 project). Published our research paper in the Lancet in May 2013. Work cited as an example in Medical Research Council document "Outputs, outcomes and impact of MRC research: 2013/14 report". Publication of a fact sheet on iodine for the general public/health practitioners via the British Dietetic Association. Iodine now included in fact sheets for pregnant women by the Infant and Toddler Forum. Work cited in Dairy Council's new publication on iodine. Work cited in iodine review by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (gov). Work cited by EFSA in document on Dietary Reference Value for iodine: European Food Safety Authority (2014) Scientific Opinion on Dietary Reference Values for iodine. EFSA Journal 12, 3660. Paper featured in NICE "Eyes on Evidence" February 2014.

Title | A Privacy-Preserving Data Management system for MRI and other Large Image Data |
Description | ALSPAC are collecting large volumes of image data through scanning individuals at assessment clinics and also work underway as part of ALSPAC's MRC MH Pathfinder award, through linkage to images held in social media accounts. These images are individually relatively small size, but are being accessed in huge volumes - e.g. a single participants MRI scan can comprise ~12,000 separate image files. Furthermore, many images have embedded identifier values (e.g. NHS ID or name embedded in an MRI scan) or have inherently identifiable components (e.g. an individuals MRI head scan can be used to show a 3D topographic map of a persons face). This leaves study databanks with a challenge to archive large volumes of data, efficiently process them for reuse, and to de-identify them in complex ways. Through MRC MH Pathfinder, the ALSPAC Data Team and Data Linkage Team have developed an image management server with capabilities for archiving, processing and de-identification. This is built on a suite of 'open source' software packages and tuned to the needs of a longitudinal study. This new infrastructure is now operational and facilitating new research in ALSPAC. |
Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
Year Produced | 2019 |
Provided To Others? | Yes |
Impact | The tool has enabled ALSPAC to lower the charges for the processing of data for reuse from £750 per project to £300 per project. The use of the tool is supporting multiple grant applications, both in the UK and USA. The tool reduces the cost of the grant compared to previous approaches as it impacts on collection and archiving as well as reuse. E.g. Elanor Hinton application to support assessment of the impact of parenthood on maternal and paternal neurobiology and subsequent child development (ALSPAC Reference: B3386, https://proposals.epi.bristol.ac.uk/?q=node/129988). The tool is supporting the MRC funded grant led by Professor Anthony David (UCL) (ALSPAC Reference: B3035, https://proposals.epi.bristol.ac.uk/?q=node/127353). |
Title | ALSPAC Biosamples and DNA resources |
Description | Over 1.2 million aliquots biosamples taken at various timepoints from ALSPAC participants. The bioresource is available to the scientific community for research.

Title | Data Access Agreement (DAA) data sharing contract |
Description | The data access agreement is a new data sharing contract which is compatible with contemporary legislative (e.g. General Data Protection Regulations) and research governance expectations. It aligns with ALSPAC's Online Proposal System for efficient generation of specified and controlled data requests. Importantly, the DAA enables the replication of third-party data owner requirements and the addition of particular governance controls for specific datasets (e.g. geo-spatial datasets), and as such is an important element in ALSPAC's process to allow onward sharing of linked health, geo-spatial and social records. |
Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
Year Produced | 2018 |

Title | Formalising recall by genotype as an efficient approach to detailed phenotyping and causal inference |
Description | Detailed phenotyping is required to deepen our understanding of the biological mechanisms behind genetic associations. In addition, the impact of potentially modifiable risk factors on disease requires analytical frameworks that allow causal inference. We have described the characteristics of Recall-by-Genotype (RbG) as a study design aimed at addressing both these needs. We have considered the efficacy and practicality of the RbG approach, provide a catalogue of UK-based resources for such studies and present an online RbG study planner. |

Title | Formalising recall by genotype as an efficient approach to detailed phenotyping and causal inference |
Description | Detailed phenotyping is required to deepen our understanding of the biological mechanisms behind genetic associations. In addition, the impact of potentially modifiable risk factors on disease requires analytical frameworks that allow causal inference. We have described the characteristics of Recall-by-Genotype (RbG) as a study design aimed at addressing both these needs. We presented two broad scenarios for the application of RbG: studies using single variants and those using multiple variants. We also considered the efficacy and practicality of the RbG approach, provide a catalogue of UK-based resources for such studies and present an online RbG study planner. |

Title | Geocoded School History dataset for ALSPAC index participants |
Description | We have collated information on the schools ALSPAC participants attended from reception (Age 4-5) through to leaving schooling (Age 16-18). We have addressed issues such as schools changing over time (changing name, moving location etc). We have then geo-coded the school address information and assigned this back into the ALSPAC research database. This now allows ALSPAC staff to map environmental exposure data (e.g. air pollution, proximity to fast-food outlets) to individuals based on which school they attended. |

Title | UK10K - population based whole genome sequencing |
Description | This is the collection of raw data and results from the UK10K study. By studying and comparing the DNA of 4,000 people whose physical characteristics are well documented, the project aims to identify those changes that have no discernible effect and those that may be linked to a particular disease; by studying the changes within protein-coding areas of DNA that tell the body how to make proteins of 6,000 people with extreme health problems and comparing them with the first group, it is hoped to find only those changes in DNA that are responsible for the particular health problems observed. |

Organisation | National Institute for Health Research |
Department | NIHR Clinical Research Network (CRN) |
Country | United Kingdom |
Sector | Academic/University |
PI Contribution | Since 2018/19, the CRN has invested in the ALSPAC team via development bids. CRN portfolio recruitment more than quadrupled from 2018/19 to 2019/20 and has increased again in 2020/21 due to addition of Covid-19 studies (see Table 1). In 2019/2020, the CRN nationally supported more than 6,000 studies and recruited over 732,000 participants, of which ALSPAC alone contributed 11 studies and over 18,000 participants. This contribution helped CRN WE recruit the most participants to public health studies nationally. |
Collaborator Contribution | CRN WE will be rolling over its budget and allocations from 2020/21 to 2021/22. Therefore, ALSPAC will receive the same financial support as 2020/21, allowing them to extend existing CRN-supported posts. Funds will be allocated to supporting activity such as the: • Development and set-up of REDCap/Teleform data collection systems and consent forms. • Day to day response to REDCap/Teleform issues. • Oversight of contact management system and scheduling of invite and reminder correspondence. ALSPAC has contributed significant and consistently increasing levels of recruitment towards West of England CRN targets in 18/19, 19/20, and 20/21. Four suggested posts to be supported by the ALSPAC allocation in 2021/22. |
Impact | Study recruitment metrics and output (listed here https://www.bristol.ac.uk/alspac/researchers/publications/) reflect contributions made to engagement and recruitment to the ALSPAC study. |
