Abstract
Key Features� Born in Bradford (BiB) is a multi-ethnic birth cohort in Bradford, UK, which recruited 12 453 women with 13 776 pregnancies and 3448 of their partners between 2007 and 2011.� Routine health and education data have been collected since birth and cohort subsamples have been followed up to age 5 years.Metabolomics and genetic data are available for �11 000 mothers and �9000 children.The cohort works closely with communities and health and education providers using findings to influence policy.� This update summarizes the most recent follow-up in school and community settings when children were aged 6-11 years and key findings from the cohort.� Extensive new data for BiB families have been collected, including questionnaires, cognitive and sensorimotor development, built and natural environment measures, biological samples, with continued record linkage.� Measures of wellbeing and cognitive/sensorimotor development were extended to include non-BiB children in a whole-school recruitment approach.� Applications to use data are invited via our website (www.borninbradford.nhs.uk).
