CAP DATA COLLECTION
The CAP children, their parents, and their home environments have been assessed repeatedly since infancy using a broad, multivariate battery of cognitive, soci-emotional, behavioral, and environmental measures. This full adoption design assesses genetic and environmental effects of parents on their children by comparing children to "genetic" parents (i.e., biological parenbts and their adopted-away offspring), "environmental" parents (i.e., adoptive parents of their adopted children), and "genetic-plus-environmental" parents (i.e., parents rearing their biological offspring). In addition to the index children (probands) in each family, the CAP has also assessed both adopted and biological children in the families. Comparisons of adoptive and nonadotpvie siblings provide similar information regarding the etiology of familial resemblance.
