National Children's Study Research Plan : A Review

In response to the Children's Health Act passed in 2000, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, cooperating with other national public health entities, plans to conduct a long term study of environmental influences on children's health and development. This volume contains a review and assessment by an independent panel of the research plan for the National Children's Study, what will be the largest long-term study of environmental and genetic effects on children's health ever conducted in the US. The report covers the goals, conceptual framework, and core hypotheses of the study; priority outcome and exposure measures; study design, data collection, and analysis; ethical procedures and community engagement; and the conclusions and recommendations of the panel.
