Subseries 2. Follow Up Study (to IAS), 1974-1975
|
Scope and Content Notes: This subseries encompasses the planning, data, and case files to the project most commonly known as the
Follow Up Study. Informally, the study was often described in relation to its component parts: T1, the time during the study, T2, one year later, and T3, further follow ups. This project was launched as an attempt to revisit the subjects of her previous
Infant Accident Study to explore the effects of the abuse study participants suffered in infancy.
