### Details

The EPIPAGE cohort, funded by INSERM and the French general health authority, is a multi-regional French follow-up survey of severely premature children. It included more than 4000 children born at less than 33 weeks gestational age, and two control samples of children, respectively born at 33-34 weeks of gestational age and born full term. The general objectives were to study short and long term motor, cognitive and behavioural outcomes in these children, and to determine the impact of medical practice, care provision and organization of perinatal care, environment, family circle and living conditions on child health and development. About 2600 children born severely premature and 400 and 600 controls respectively were followed up to the age of 5 years and then to the age of 8.

The SDQ is a behavioral questionnaire for children and adolescents ages 4 through 16 years old. It measures the severity of the disability (higher score indicate higher disability).

The database belongs to the INSERM unit U953 (P.Y. Ancel). which has agreed to include the variable SDQ in the library.
