Abstract
This is the first published report of the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal study. The information collected from the Antenatal Data Collection Wave has been collated and this report describes the cohort of mothers and partners and provides descriptive statistics that relate to the children of the Growing Up in New Zealand cohort before they were born. This report includes data on parental antenatal intentions (immunisation, feeding plans), and health behaviours in pregnancy (relating to diet, alcohol, smoking, and physical activity). This data will allow the researchers to determine what effect adherence and non-adherence to specific guidelines have on children’s outcomes at birth and as they grow up over time.
