What Is a “Longitudinal Study”?


It is a controlled study that monitors a group of people, called a cohort, over a specified duration. The purpose of Al‑Anon’s longitudinal study is to determine and document the impact regular participation in Al‑Anon has on its members over a five‑year period.
In September 2022, participants were sent the “Year One” survey, with roughly 50 percent completing it. To ensure a high level of data integrity, only those who completed “Year One” will be sent the “Year Two” survey.
