The ARCH Lab has published a paper titled “Cohort Profile: Multimorbidity in Children and Youth Across the Life-course (MY LIFE) Study”.

This paper provides an overview of the methods of the Multimorbidity in Children and Youth across the Life-course (MY LIFE) study, profiles sample characteristics of the cohort (n=263), and provides baseline estimates of multimorbidity.  

Data show that multimorbidity is common among children in this sample and these baseline data will serve to measure relative changes in the mental health of children with physical illness over time.
