The research design paper for Australian Longitudinal Women's Health study, c1996-7. Some interesting commentary about the things they tested in the pilot study to try and improve response rates.

Neat! Is the "Longitudinal" bit of that title meant in a literal geographical sense?

In this context, 'longitudinal' refers to across time. The first set of data was collected across 1997-1998, and there have been six or seven followups, on the same people.
