The National Children's Study

The National Children’s Study is a long-term national research project that will examine environmental influences on children's health and development. It involves tracking 100,000 children from before birth to 21 years of age. The study will look for information about topics such as obesity, diabetes, physical development, injuries, asthma, and mental health. Dr. Peter Scheidt, Director of the National Children's Study, joins Host Larry Mantle to discuss this ambitious longitudinal cohort study.
