James W. B. Douglas (died 1992) was an eminent social researcher. He
was generally known as 'J.W.B.'. He was responsible for the National
Child Development Study and many other studies.
The NCDS has
been described as "the granddaddy of all cohort studies" and was set
up by Douglas less than a year after the end of the second world
war. It began with interviews of more than 13,000 mothers who had
given birth in the United Kingdom during one week of March 1946.
After the initial survey in 1958, there have been attempts to
trace all members of this birth generational cohort in 1965, 1969,
1974, 1981, 1991, 1999–2000, 2004 and 2008 to get information
concerning their physical, educational and social development.[2]
During the 2002-2204, genetic information on participants was also
obtained to examine the genetic effects on common traits and
diseases
He published over 30 books.
