I. Investigating the impact of early institutional deprivation on development: background and research strategy of the English and Romanian Adoptees (ERA) study
This chapter describes the rationale and research strategy of the English and Romanian Adoptees study, covering Romanian and UK adoptees first assessed at ages four or six. It outlines early assessment measures and summarises earlier follow-ups before the adolescent assessment.
Limitations: This is a methodological and background chapter within the ERA research monograph, not a new independent cohort. The abstract does not give detailed results. Extreme institutional deprivation and historical intercountry adoption limit generalisation; related chapters share participants.
