UD named a regional research participant in National Children’s Study
Date:10/16/2007

versee day-to-day operations, from recruiting field staff to monitoring the extensive data on children and the environment that will be collected during the 25-year effort.

Martha Buell, professor, and Christine Ohannessian, associate professor, both in UD's Department of Individual and Family Studies, also will play an integral role in the Delaware study center's operation.

A major objective of the study is to examine how environmental inputs and genetic factors interact to affect the health and development of children, Amsden said.

We'll be collecting a great deal of information on environmental quality, including air and water samples from where these children live, Amsden noted. There will be opportunities for faculty and student involvement from across the University in this interdisciplinary project, which will provide access to a national protocol for collecting data on children and their environment over a long period of time.

The study will officially launch in 2008, with the first data to be collected in 2009. Two hundred fifty children will be identified for the first phase of the study, with successive groups of children to be added each year for five years.

The study is being conducted in 105 U.S. locations that together are representative of the nation's population. A national probability sample was used to select the counties in the study, which took into account such factors as race and ethnicity, income, education level, number of births and babies born with low birth weights.
