Title of project: 
A summary of pain and related items in ALSPAC
Proposal summary: 

This project is part of the Consortium to Research Individual, Interpersonal and Social Influences in Pain (CRIISP), which aims to determine the psychosocial mechanisms underpinning chronic pain. This work will be undertaken across four large cohorts studies, including ALSPAC. In order to identify mechanisms and synthesise data across these cohorts, it is first necessary to identify the measures of pain included within each study. As an extension to the original proposal (B3598), we propose to write a data note to summarise all pain related items in ALSPAC across G0 and G1.

Impact of research: 
The overall aim of the CRIISP project is to determine the psychosocial mechanisms underpinning chronic pain. In doing so, we will deliver a transformational contribution to pain science and clinical practice. The data note proposed here will make the pain related data measured within ALSPAC more accessible to researchers wishing to use these variables in the future.
