Abstract: The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study--Birth Cohort 2000
(ECLS-B) is a component of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Studies
Program. Studies also include the Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999,
currently under way. The ECLS program responds to increased policy
interest in a critical period in the development of children, the years
from zero to three. The principal purposes of the study are to assess
chidlren's health status and their growth and development in a variety
of key domains that are critical for later school readiness and
academic achievement. The key domains include physical health and
growth, motor development, and social and emotional maturation. The
data set will provide a comprehensive and reliable longitudinal data
set describing the growth of children from birth through first grade.
The data can also be used by a wide range of federal agencies on topics
such as maternal and child health; childhood illnesses and
disabilities; nonparental child care and early childhood education;
health intervention; family economics and composition; welfare
dependency; cultural diversity; and food and nutrition.
