Abstract
The National Children’s Study is an observational prospective cohort study that is designed to assess the multiple factors that can affect pregnancy outcomes and children’s development. It promises to overcome the limitations of previous observational studies with regard to sample size (105,000), generalizability, breadth of environmental exposures, and the time frame of follow-up (21 years). As gynecologic and obstetric care providers, we have an integrally important role in facilitating the success of the NCS. This article enumerates the multiple ways in which we can be of invaluable assistance.
