For families

Details of the study

PRENCOG is a programme of research consisting of four interlinked studies.  We want to discover how and why premature birth affects the developing brain so that we can develop new treatments to help children who are born early.

This page explains who can take part in the study.

We will collect information about you and your baby on three occasions – antenatal, birth and the newborn period (until your baby leaves hospital).

We will collect information from you and your records.

We will collect information following the birth of your baby.

We will collect information during the newborn period (until your baby leaves hospital).
