This volume is the product of a course on longitudinal prospective
re search arranged by the three editors in Arhus, Denmark, in 1978.
The course was supported by the Nordisk Kulturfond for young
researchers from the Nordic countries, who had planned or had
simply involved themselves in longitudinal prospective research
projects of various kinds. The twenty-six participants represented
a wide range of professions: statisticians, psychologists,
psychiatrists, nutritionists, and public health researchers. The
teachers came from many countries and represented many disciplines.
The course was very successful, especially from the point of view
of the quality and investment of the teachers. We felt also that
the course met a strong need in this relatively new field of
research. Therefore, we asked the teachers to prepare written
versions of their lectures so that they could have wider
dissemination; they agreed to do so. The present book is composed
of these contributions. The first chap ter, after outlining some of
the problems with traditional strategies in mental health research,
goes on to suggest some of the possible preven tive applications of
longitudinal research methods. Included in Parts II and III are
papers on design problems and on the tools of long-term research,
such as genetics and classification, biological measurements,
epidemiological guidelines, statistical models, disease registers,
and de velopmental psychology."
