exposures, should they become 

pregnant. The remainder of the study 

population will comprise women 

enrolled early in pregnancy. The seven 

centers combined will follow 

approximately 1000 infants born to 

women enrolled in the first year of this 

Pilot Study. Infants born to women 

enrolled in this Pilot Study but born 

after the eligibility period for the Pilot 

will be eligible for enrollment in the full 

NCS. The schedule of participant 

contacts for this data collection includes 

home visits, clinic visits, and phone 

contacts, and is described in the NCS 

Research Plan: http:// 

nationalchildrensstudy.gov. Home visits 

before and during pregnancy will 

include collection of interview data, 

environmental specimens such as air 

and dust samples, maternal and paternal 

biospecimens such as blood and hair 

samples, and a brief physical 

examination including anthropometric 

measures and blood pressure. During 

pregnancy, women will receive up to 

three fetal ultrasounds to assess fetal 

growth. At birth, cord blood and 

placental samples will be collected and 

the infant will receive a brief 

developmental assessment. During 

infancy, home visits will include 

collection of interview data, 

environmental specimens, biospecimens 

from the infant and parents, a brief 

physical examination of the infant, and 

assessment of infant development and 

parental-infant interactions. Burden 

statement: The public burden for this 

Study will vary depending on the 

eligibility and pregnancy status of 

potential participants at the time of 

household screening. Women who are 

not pregnant at the time of screening 

will have varying burden depending on 

their likelihood of pregnancy and, 

should they become pregnant, the time 

to pregnancy. The burden for women 

enrolled during pregnancy will depend 

on when during pregnancy they are 

identified and enrolled in the Study. 

The table provides an annualized 

average burden per person for each stage 

of the Pilot Study over the three year 

period of the Study.
