Informing Participants in the National Children's Study

The National Institute of Child Health and Development is launching a landmark study that will approach 400,000 women to seek their interest in participating in the National Children’s Study (NCS). Ultimately, the NCS hopes that 100,000 women and their children will be enrolled and followed until the children are 21 years of age. EDC is ensuring that women understand the roles, obligations, risks, and benefits of participation by building an innovative, interactive electronic tool.
