Stockholm Birth Cohort Study 1953—2003: A new tool for life-course studies

Abstract

The new database provides excellent opportunities for life-course studies on health and social outcomes. It allows for studies that have not previously been possible in Sweden or elsewhere. Further, it provides an opportunity for collaborative work with similar databases in Copenhagen and Aberdeen.

Involvement in Crime, Individual Resources and Structural Constraints: Processes of Cumulative (Dis)Advantage in a Stockholm Birth Cohort

“…Since both databases had been anonymised (the Metropolitan project data were anonymised in 1986) a probability matching procedure was employed to link the two. It was possible in this way to match a total of 96 percent of the observations -14,294 individuals (Stenberg et al 2007). The combination of the two data sets means that it is possible to follow the cohort of individuals born in 1953 and living in the Greater Stockholm area at age ten until they were 48 years of age.…”

The first of these is the Metropolitan Study, which comprises all individuals born in 1953 and living in Stockholm ten years later (Janson 1995).…”

Carreras delictivas juveniles y tratamiento

“…A lo largo de las últimas décadas, gracias a los estudios longitudinales, se han descrito múltiples factores de riesgo asociados a una mayor probabilidad de comportamiento delictivo (Bergman, 2009;Bergman y Andershed, 2009;Farrington, Ttofi y Coid, 2009;Lee, Beaver y Wright, 2009;Nilson y Estrada, 2009;Remschmidt y Walter, 2009;Sanercki, 1985Sanercki, , 2009Stenberg et al, 2007). También se han detallado numerosos factores de protección, los cuales se asocian a una menor probabilidad de conducta antisocial.…”
