Research with the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC)

ERIC is working with the University of Bristol’s ALSPAC project to look at the causes and effects of bowel and bladder problems on school children and their families. About 8000 families are involved in the project.

Several research papers have been published by the project, covering topics such as increasing understanding of parental coping strategies and the psychological effects of soiling.

ERIC will be producing resources for families and schools in the next year.
