Stanford Hair Biomarkers Study - Recruiting Healthy Children

Dublin CA

Description

We are exploring the concept of wellness in childhood–particularly among preschool children–who have a limited capacity to communicate or interpret their everyday experiences. Using a painless method for hair collection, we measure the levels of hair biomarkers (hormones, proteins, etc.) contained in these hair samples. Measuring biomarkers will help us to establish wellness parameters and normal ranges for hair cortisol or other biomarkers in healthy preschool children and to differentiate them from critically ill or injured children. We are recruiting healthy children, aged from 9 months to 72 months residing in Alameda, San Mateo, or Santa Clara counties.
