What is a cohort?
Discover via this video from France Cohortes how health cohorts work, and how they help to understand diseases, risk factors, and improve public-health care.
Volunteers’ participation in long-term health cohort studies is invaluable and helps advance public health research.

Our cohorts :
Developmental trajectories
Autism
Prenatal period
Child developmental health
MARIANNE
A scientific research programme run in France, aimed at building a large-scale research infrastructure on the early biological and environmental determinants of autism and neurodevelopmental disorders in children.
- Status: recruitment open
Developmental trajectories in children
Autism
Family life
ELENA
The first French multicentre longitudinal cohort aiming to identify phenotypes and developmental trajectories of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and their clinical, biological and environmental determinants.
- Status: recruitment closed
- Now in data-analysis phase.
Child development
Autism
EPITED
A cohort aimed at better understanding the needs of autistic individuals, given the considerable heterogeneity in developmental trajectories among children diagnosed with autism.
- Status: closed.
Child developmental health
Autism
EFAAR
A cohort evaluating frailty in adults with autism and intellectual disability as they age. The main goal of EFAAR is to determine whether frailty depends on age in this population (adults with autism and intellectual disability over age 20).
- Status: closed.

Why participate in a health cohort?
Participating in a cohort means actively contributing to research and medical progress.
By taking part, you become an active participant in a crucial endeavor: better understanding neurodevelopmental disorders, refining diagnoses for greater accuracy, and shaping care pathways tailored to the needs of children and families.
Your participation today provides tangible solutions to improve the lives of future generations.
