In May 2019 half of the young participants in the DNBC have turned 20 years old. To mark this event, a scientific symposium was held on May 29th in Copenhagen. The day was a great success - the auditorium was filled up, the lectures were interesting and concerning, and the atmosphere was cheerful.

Since the completion of the initial 4 computer-assisted telephone interviews the DNCB has expanded the data collection with several data sweeps throughout offspring childhood and youth and also among mothers. 

The four computer-assisted telephone interviews were carried out in gestational week 12 and 30 as well as when the child was 6 and 18 months old. Each interview lasted approx. 10-15 minutes.

The DNBC List of Publications contains peer-reviewed articles based on analyses af DNBC data, or articles describing or debating the cohort.

The DNBC participants - women and adolescents - have contributed with their time and effort in order to establish a unique data source for research. Read more about the conditions for access to DNBC data and the applications process below.

The DNBC secretariat is placed at Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, Denmark.
