About the National Children's Study

The National Children's Study examines the effects of environmental influences on health and development of more than 100,000 children across the United States, following them from before birth until age 21. The goal of the study is to improve the health and well-being of children.

The Medical College of Wisconsin, in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Waisman Center, will help plan and implement the data collection throughout Waukesha County beginning Spring 2009.
