| - 1966 - 1967
This prospective, longitudinal study consisted of a cohort of 1,242 first-grade children who began first grade in Woodlawn in 1966-67 and remained in a Woodlawn school during their first grade year. During first grade, teachers were asked about each child's classroom behavior; clinicians observed the children in standardized play situations; and mothers (or mother surrogates) were interviewed about their child and their family. Further assessments were made on samples of these children in their third-grade year.
- 1975 - 1976
Ten years after the children had been in first grade, 939 (75 percent) of the mothers or mother surrogates were re-interviewed and of the 939, 705 teenagers were assessed on a psychological self-report instrument and a questionnaire that included questions on family and school life, drug use, delinquency, and sexual activity.
- 1983
In 1983 the Baltimore City Public Schools and the Prevention Research Center of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health created a partnership with parents, children, and teachers, to develop programs to get children off to a good start in school. The Baltimore Prevention Program was based on the earlier Woodlawn project and on results from the Woodlawn project.
- 1992 - 1994
Nine hundred fifty-two (952) cohort members, now young adults, were located and interviewed.
- 1997 - 1998
Six hundred eighty-one (681) of the mothers were interviewed again. This time our focus was on the women in terms of their own lives.
- 2002 - 2003
Current research is focused on a survey of the original cohort at their mid-life age
