National Children’s Study: help improve children’s health & well-being

The goal of the Study is to learn how to improve the health and well-being of chil­dren. To do this, the National Children’s Study is exam­in­ing the effects of envi­ron­men­tal influ­ences on the health and devel­op­ment of 100,000 chil­dren across the United States, fol­low­ing them from before birth until age 21 years. There are two ways moms can help:

1) If you are preg­nant, par­tic­i­pate in the study. Find the cen­ter near­est you at the national website:
