Welcome to the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Unit

We are currently in the process of developing a new website which we hope to go live in March 2010. Please bear with us if some of the information contained in this site is out-of-date.

We run the ongoing Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study (also known as the Dunedin Longitudinal Study), which has been going for almost 38 years. We also run the Parenting Study, Family Health History Study, and Next Generation Study.

The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Unit is a founding partner in the National Centre for Lifecourse Research.
