Abstract:
|
The goal of the National Children's Study is to improve the health and well-being of children and contribute to understanding the role various factors have on health and disease. Longitudinal in design, the Study will gather data on a wide range of environmental exposures believed to affect child health and development. Recently, an Alternate Recruitment Substudy was launched to assess the feasibility, acceptability and cost of study logistics and three recruitment models. Thirty sites have joined the original 7 sites to comprise this pilot, called the NCS Vanguard Study. This panel will provide a study update, relate experiences and lessons learned thus far, discuss the current Alternate Recruitment Substudy methods, and discuss data collection and analytic activities underway. A description of a unique data repository system designed to aggregate frequent deliveries of questionnaire, metadata, paradata and cost data for analytic and field monitoring purposes will be described. Specific challenges and potential solutions for linking and integrating aggregate and individual data from environmental, administrative and survey based data sources to the NCS survey respondents will also be discussed.
