Prenatal and eraly childhooh pathways to health: an integrated model of chemical and social exposures, biological mechanisms and sex-specific effects on neurodevelopment and respiratory outcomes
Initiatives
-
Our study is powered to assess interactive effects of chemical and non-chemical stressors and will be the first study to characterize how prenatal environmental exposures relate to placental transcriptome pathways in relation to childhood health outcomes. This represents a significant scientific advance in testing DOHaD hypotheses. Major contributions to the ECHO Consortium include:
1. The development of a state of the art national model of air pollution
2. A large, diverse pregnancy cohort with extensive biorepositories and extant prenatal and postnatal biomarkers, placental transcriptome, psychosocial and environmental data
3. An experienced, interdisciplinary team that will contribute meaningfully to the ECHO program of work.

- Follow Up
- Childhood neurodevelopment and airway health (at ages 4-6, 8-9, and 10-11 years).Data collection in pregnancy was nested in clinical care, with questionnaire and specimen collection conducted during routine prenatal visits at < 18, 18-25, and > 25 weeks gestation.
