Duplin County is a close-knit, rural community of slightly more than 50,000 residents. The National Children’s Study will recruit almost half of the county’s pregnant women and their children over the next five years. Duplin residents are excited about their selection as a “Vanguard Community” and proud to contribute to the health and well-being of children through participation as one of the first two sites in the nation to start the Study in early 2009.
