Longitudinal Growth and Development Study

So, I have been on Zity for years and I have occasionally mentioned that the prime spark for my fetish seems to have been a program I was in during my adolescence that involved a lot of things but that particularly involved Tanner stage assessments. However, it was only this year, all these decades later, over the holidays, that I was going through some old boxes of documents that had been kept (but not well organized) by my parents and I learned many of the specific details of the program, which was multigenerational.

On the off chance that anyone here, male or female, may have had any connection to the Fels Research Institute studies which began in 1930 but only ended in 2018, I would very much love to hear from you. Please feel free to send me a DM.

Would ever consider uploading these documents with ID blocked out of course. Would be an interesting read.

Probably not pages that could have any identifiable information, even blacked out, because once something is out on the Internet, it's out there, and you never know if someone someday will be able to un-redact posted documents. But I DO have a handful of pages or partial pages from the booklet/info they provided us when I first signed up for it. It mostly is data from earlier generations of the study and was part of the kind of "what to expect" that they gave to parents and kids. I could share some of that privately. It is, of course, text only. No images of any kind (other than a few graphs).

Smart thinking @JakeNewYork . Always protect ones identity as best they can.

I would love to read anything you care to post. This kind of stuff is right in my medfet interest.

Would love to read the "what to expect" part.

I posted somewhere before that they provided such letters for my school physicals as well. I can clearly remember that it stated that the students were expected to undresses which thrilled me to read. Unfortunately I do not have any of such papers anymore.

From the time I learned what a longitudinal study was, I have had the desire to have been a part of one. I’d love to hear your experiences.

I was part of a study in the 1970s as a pre teen and teen for several years because my parents couldn't afford a psychiatrist and by agreeing to place me into the study I was able to see a psychiatrist for free. It involved both mental and physical examinations I think every six months but both my parents are deceased and discarded the records many years ago so I have no idea what the study was called or what in particular they were interested in? I saw several types of specialists and had blood drawn twice a year.
