Abstract:

There is much interest, but a dearth of data, on early environmental influences on health. This talk will describe a large government-wide undertaking (including lead agencies NICHD, CDC, and EPA) to establish a cohort of children for studying pre- and postnatal environmental influences on health. Study goals, study design special issues and plans for analysis will be addressed.
