content: Boxes 1-417 and the first half of Box 418 are arranged sequentially by participants' National Infant Mortality Surveillance (NIMS) numbers. 

The first half of Box 418 and Box 419 are arranged by NIMS number and are part of the CPP series but were catalogued separately by the Center due to cases of infant deaths and drop-outs. (It should be noted that many boxes preceding Box 417 also include folders noted for infant deaths and participant drop-outs.) 

The second half of Box 419 and the first half of Box 420 are arranged by NIMS number but were catalogued separately by the Center due to occurrence of infant deaths, drop-outs, and participation in a dental program.

The second half of Box 420, Boxes 421, and the first half of Box 422 include files for participants involved in a dental program. There is no clear arrangement of these files.

The second half of Box 422 and Boxes 423-424 have been noted as part of the "Blumenthal Vial" series by the Center; these files match those of Boxes 1-417. These files are arranged sequentially by participants' NIMS numbers.

The CPP spanned across 11 cities (Boston, MA; Buffalo, NY; New Orleans, LA; New York, NY; Baltimore, MD; Richmond, VA; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Portland, Oregon; Philadelphia, PA; Providence, Rhode Island; Memphis, Tennessee), and is the largest and longest U.S.-based study of pregnancy and childhood. The series also contains dental program records, as part of the Center's faciodental studies.

These records contain: photographs; administrative reports; neurological, pediatric, and psychological examinations; patient and family medical histories; vision, arithmetic, and speech, language, and hearing examinations; IQ tests; mental and motor development examinations; releases of information and authorization reports; dental records; and fetal or infant death reports (including autopsies).
