This study will focus on the entire cohort (infant-19 y/o) to provide health and behavior outcomes associated with sleep characteristics, including environmental and demographic factors. This information will help better define the development of sleep, help develop more precise strategies to target children with sleep characteristics predictive of poor health outcomes, and develop more precise strategies for children... more »

This study will focus on a subsample of all pregnant women and follow them throughout pregnancy to obtain serial assessments and measurements, including laboratory microbiologic evaluation testing of oral, skin and vaginal specimens. Follow-up would end at delivery of the infant; serial pregnancies would be eligible to re-enroll. Assessments and measures would be used along with health outcomes to determine associations... more »

Follow a subsample of all infants and children (< 3 years of age) throughout childhood to obtain the following serial assessments: blood tests, medication history, neonatal, infant and childhood health outcomes; physical measurements and laboratory microbiologic evaluations of oral, skin and vaginal specimens. Assessments and measures would be used along with health outcomes to determine associations and develop predictive... more »

I would design a seven-year-long protocol study that would observe children social developmental stages from various demographics from the pre-school to the fifth-grade. As we look at their food-nutrient intake; family social structure-dynamics environment; social interaction; extracurricular activities; and educational resources in order to see how to reduce disadvantage youth while increase child readiness.

I would select women who has just given birth or have children ranging from 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months to get a postpartum screening done every three months to see if they have any signs of postpartum. The outcome is to see what and how the mother is feeling in the different milestones of the child's life as well as their own. What effects does it have on both the mother and the child

This study will focus on women who are pregnant at enrollment or become pregnant during the study and the offspring of observed pregnancies. The information will help to define genetic and epigenetic predictors of long-term effects of common pregnancy complications.

This study will enroll premature infants at the time of birth, in order to follow the children in phases from birth to adulthood to test the central hypothesis that premature birth permanently impairs normal pulmonary and cardiovascular development, resulting in the development of common and rare cardiopulmonary conditions which reduce cardiopulmonary function throughout life. Phase one will study children from birth... more »
