Overview
The E-Risk Study tracks the development of a nationally-representative birth cohort of 2,232 of same-sex twin children born in 1994-1995 across England and Wales. The initial assessment was conducted with parents and children during face-to-face home visits when the twins were aged 5. Follow-up home-visits were conducted when the twins were aged 7, 10, 12 and 18 (participation rates were 98%, 96%, 96%, and 93%, respectively).
The dataset includes mothers’ perpetration of physical violence towards her partner and experiences of physical violence victimisation perpetrated by her partner for the period between when the child was born to age 10 and thus this also provides information about each child’s experience of domestic violence within their household during this period. Information on exposure to dating violence is available for each twin between ages 12-18 years.
Data is available on the mothers’ mental health during the childhood phases of the study along with mother-reported mental health history of her biological mother, father, sisters, brothers, and the twins’ biological father. The twins were assessed for internalising symptoms and externalising behaviour at ages 5, 7, and 10, and for depression, anxiety, conduct disorder, ADHD, psychotic experiences, self-harm and suicide attempts at ages 12 and 18.
