Description
The Child Health and Development Studies investigate a range of topics. One study, in particular, considered all pregnancies between 1960 and 1967 among women in the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan in the San Francisco East Bay area. We do not have ideal provenance for these data. For a better documented and more recent dataset on a similar topic with similar variables, see births14. Additionally, Gestation dataset in the mosaicData package also contains similar data.
