RESUMEN

'Birth to Ten' is a birth cohort study currently being conducted in the Johannesburg-Soweto area. This paper describes the various pilot studies that were undertaken to investigate the feasibility of a cohort study in an urban area. These studies were designed to determine the monthly birth rate, the timing, frequency and duration of maternal antenatal visits, the timing and frequency of visits to well-baby clinics and the accuracy and reliability of routinely collected growth data. In addition, a birth data collection form was tested to ascertain the appropriateness of its use in clinics within the study area.
