- Summary:
- This text provides a comprehensive historical understanding of the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study (CSYS). This includes a focus on the study's development, operation, and long-term follow-up by Joan McCord and others. Central to the book's approach is to place the histories of mecicine and social sciences in direct conversation with one another. Richard Cabot lived at the interface of medicine and the social sciences, and the CSYS is a product of this experience.
