Summary: Extensive human health data from cohort studies, national registries, and biobanks can reveal lifecourse risk factors impacting health. Combining these sources offers increased statistical power, rare outcome detection, replication of findings, and extended study periods. Traditionally, this required data transfer to a central location or separate partner analyses with pooled summary statistics, posing ethical, legal, and time constraints.

- Social inequalities in child mental health are a significant public health issue, and this study aims to examine these inequalities over time across various countries.
- Using longitudinal data from eight birth cohorts in twelve countries, the research tracks children's socio-economic circumstances and mental health outcomes from ages two to eighteen.
- Results indicate that children from poorer socio-economic backgrounds generally show higher levels of internalising and externalising problems, although some cohorts exhibit minimal inequalities in certain age groups.
Background: Early childcare attendance may be related to children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms throughout childhood and young adolescence, however evidence from Europe is limited. We aimed to assess this association across multiple population-based birth cohorts of children recruited in different European countries.
Methods: Data come from six parent-offspring prospective birth cohort studies across five European countries within the EU Child Cohort Network.
Distribution of environmental hazards and vulnerability to their effects vary across socioeconomic groups. Our objective was to analyse the relationship between child socioeconomic position (SEP) at birth and the external exposome at pre-school age (0-4 years). This study included more than 60,000 children from eight cohorts in eleven European cities (Oslo, Copenhagen, Bristol, Bradford, Rotterdam, Nancy, Poitiers, Gipuzkoa, Sabadell, Valencia and Turin).

The present study aimed to examine the associations between exposure to green spaces during pregnancy and early childhood with respiratory, cardiometabolic, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in school-age children. We performed an Individual-Participant Data (IPD) meta-analysis involving 35,000 children from ten European birth cohorts across eight countries.
