The MUSP longitudinal study commenced in 1981 through collaboration of the Mater Misericordiae Hospital, South Brisbane, and The University of Queensland. The main focus of the study has been the assessment of health and social outcomes for both mother and child. The various waves of the study throughout this period encompass the prenatal, postnatal, childhood, and adolescent periods of the child. The most recent follow-up took place as the study children reached 21 years of age.
