Project CHILD is a movement to provide harmonized variables from national-level, longitudinal surveys of children who have information on height, weight, and at least one psychometric outcome. The children appear in at least two survey rounds and are age 5 years or younger in the first survey round in which they appear.  Initial focus has been on family structure within the Latin America.  

Project CHILD is designed to be collaborative.  By sharing data-prepartion files, more time can be spent on analyses.  Furthermore, sharing preparation of novel variables can facilitate other researchers to build on the topic, which establishes the first researcher as a foundational scholar of a body of literature.
