1000 Mother-Infant Dyads Study
Investigators
Sallie Permar, MD, PhD; Geeta Swamy, MD; Heather Stapleton, PhD
Problem
The first 1000 days of life profoundly influence later health and disease; however, there are few cohorts that have investigated maternal and fetal/infant exposures over that time period.
Solution
We will develop a cohort of 1000 mother-infant dyads and collect biospecimens and information on health, socioeconomic factors, and environmental exposures from the first trimester of pregnancy through the 2nd year of life (and beyond).
Impact
- Elucidation of maternal/fetal risk factors and exposures
- Tracking of early childhood exposures
- Analysis of socioeconomic factors and health behaviors during pregnancy and early childhood
- Biospecimen collections from pregnancy, birth, and early childhood
- Long-term electronic health record and academic performance tracking
