Taabo Multigenerational Birth Cohort in Côte d'Ivoire: Protocol for Establishing a Longitudinal Multigenerational Birth Cohort to Guide Health Policy
The Taabo MGC project is designed to become one of the largest cohort studies in the region. Once established, the Taabo MGC project should become a platform for future observational and interventional studies at the local level and contribute to the much-needed evidence base on lifetime disease risk in this part of Côte d'Ivoire. We hope that our work will stimulate research and guide health policy elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa.
