====== Birth (of participant) ======

Adult [[start|Lifelines]] participants were asked about their own birth ([[sections|section]]: [[reproduction & development]]).\\
In addition, parents were asked about the birth of underage participants, see [[pre- and perinatal period (<18)]]. 
Note that some additional questions about childbirth were asked in an [[additional assessments|additional questionnaire]] on female reproduction, [[ROAQ]].
