Yale Research Study on Maternal and Infant Health

New Haven CT

Description

In this project, we are exploring pollutant and other environmental exposures in New Haven. We also want to understand how exposure to these chemicals influences infant health. Mothers who participate will receive $40 and a report of their and their baby's exposure. Participants in this study will be asked to collect biological samples (such as urine) from themselves and their infants. Participants will also collect some environmental monitoring samples in their house (such as tap water). To participate in this study, you must be: - The mother of an infant aged two to four months who was not born preterm (before 37 weeks) - Breastfeeding your infant - A resident of New Haven or nearby towns for 5+ years - An English or Spanish speaker If you want to participate, reply to this post or visit the project's website at https://cherished-project.netlify.app This study has received ethical approval by the Human Subjects Committee at Yale (Protocol # 2000025147).
