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 

receive their first home visit during 

pregnancy will have a lower burden 

than those who receive their first visit 

before pregnancy. And, women who are 

not pregnant at the time of screening 

will have varying burden depending on 

their likelihood of pregnancy. The table 

provides an annualized average burden 

per person for each stage of the Pilot 

Study over the three year period of the 

study.
