| Place of Study: | Prague, Czech Republic |
| Abstract: | The Prague study is based on a cohort of 220 subjects born to mothers who, between 1961 and 1963, were refused an abortion both on initial request and subsequent appeal. A pair matched control sample of children born of accepted pregnancies was established in 1970. The result of the fourth wave of the Prague study are reported. 190 were examined at age 30 together with pair matched control subjects. As in the previous data waves the unwanted pregnancies subjects manifest less favourable psycho-social development on average than the controls although the differences have narrowed. |
