Epidemiology BranchThe Norwegian Mother & Child Cohort Study (http://www.fhi.no/eway/default.aspx?pid=238&trg=MainArea_5811&MainArea_5811=5903:0:15,3046:1:0:0:::0:0) In collaboration with the Norwegian National Public Health Institute (NIPH), NIEHS is supporting the collection of additional biologic specimens from the pregnant women. These specimens will be used for the measurement of environmental exposures. A variety of exposure and health variables on babies, mothers and fathers are collected. Records from the cohort study will also be linked to routine national health registries. The Norwegian Mother & Child Cohort Study provides a valuable opportunity to assess the role of environmental exposures in the health of women and their children. |
