The data is described in Zeger and Liang (1986). Mothers and infants were recruited by Professor Cheryl Alexander of the John Hopkins University Department of Maternal and Child Health from the Ambulatory Pediatric Health Services Clinic at Baltimore City Hospital. The mothers were asked to keep a diary of their own stress level and child illness. Baseline characteristics were obtained from a preliminary inteview. Robins, Greenland, and Hu (1999) provide an analysis of the causal effect of mothers stress on child illness using this data.
