The Pacific Islands Families Study is a long-running, cohort study of 1398 children (and their parents) of Pacific Islands origin born in Auckland, New Zealand during the year 2000. The cohort of participants was selected from babies born between 15 March 2000 and 17 December 2000 at Middlemore Hospital with at least one parent identifying as having Pacific Islands origin.〔(PIF Technical Report 2002 )〕〔(Cohort Profile: The Pacific Islands Families (PIF) Study ) (International Journal of Epidemiology)〕 The three overall objectives of the PIF Study are: # to provide information on Pacific peoples' health, and the cultural, economic, environmental and psychosocial factors that are associated with child health and development outcomes and family functioning, # to determine how such factors individually and interactively influence positive and negative child, parent and family outcomes over time, # to provide information that will help set quantifiable targets for Pacific peoples' health. The study has collected data from mothers, fathers, children and teachers. Data collection phases have occurred at 6 weeks after birth, 12 months, 24 months, 4 years, 6 years and 9 years.
