School-aged children and adolescents included in the earlier survey collection.
National Brain Health Platform
Child and Adolescent Brain Health Cohort.
A cohort resource for school-aged children and adolescents under the National Brain Health Platform, spanning primary and secondary education. The programme integrates family and socioeconomic circumstances, school and peer experiences, bullying, digital behavior and AI use, sleep, pain, mental health, and planned multimodal deep phenotyping.
Primary and secondary school records currently available for this interim summary.
Combined record count across the two collection periods; participant overlap has not yet been validated.
EEG, fNIRS, speech/facial expression features, blood samples, and related biological measures are planned within ongoing or upcoming waves.
2024Cross-sectional school surveyOpen
Participants
Primary and secondary school students.
Current sample
41,142 survey records in this collection period.
Questionnaire content
Demographics, household composition, socioeconomic circumstances, school context, lifestyle, sleep, mental health, pain, and developmental measures.
Linkage status
Potential linkage fields exist, but no public longitudinal interval or matched sample is asserted until validation is complete.
Deep phenotyping
No deep-phenotyping programme is reported for this collection period.
Current collectionExpanded child and adolescent assessmentOpen
Participants
Primary and secondary school students in the current cleaned datasets.
Current sample
10,912 survey records in this interim public summary.
Questionnaire content
Expanded family, school, bullying, sleep, pain, mental health, digital behaviour, and detailed AI-use modules.
Linkage status
Data sources remain separately identified from the 2024 survey; linkage will be reported only after identifier, consent, and interval validation.
Deep phenotyping
EEG, fNIRS, speech, facial-expression, and blood-sample modules are being prepared for selected participants.
Next milestoneProgramme and fieldwork expansionOpen
Participants
Additional school-aged children and adolescents.
Expected sample
Approximately 20,000 additional participants as fieldwork continues.
Questionnaire content
The core framework will be retained, with age-appropriate refinements and modules addressing emerging social issues.
Linkage status
Future follow-up and linkage schedules will be published after study procedures are finalized.
Deep phenotyping
Planned selected-subsample modules include EEG, fNIRS, speech and facial-expression features, blood samples, and related biological measures.

Programme expansion
Approximately 20,000 additional child and adolescent participants are expected after the next fieldwork milestone, strengthening analyses across developmental periods.
Planned multimodal phenotyping
Future data collection is expected to include EEG, fNIRS, speech and facial expression features, blood samples, and related biological measures.
Participant profile
Primary and secondary school students across two collection periods.
The programme currently contains 52,054 survey records: 41,142 from the 2024 cross-sectional survey and 10,912 from the current collection. Because participant overlap has not yet been validated, this is a record count rather than a unique-participant count.
2024 collection
Cross-sectional school survey
This collection contributes 41,142 survey records from primary and secondary school students. Results are summarized for the collection as a whole, without imposing educational-stage categories that have not yet completed cross-field validation.
