title: The Broadbent-Bolton Growth Study--past, present, and future.
abstract: A computerized database of 14 textual elements has been created to describe the 4309 subjects enrolled in the Broadbent-Bolton Growth Study. The database can be searched by using Boolean operators to select subsets of subjects matched on the 14 data elements. The structure of the database, along with representative tables and charts of the data, is presented to aid researchers contemplating use of the collection for scientific investigation.
