The New Jersey Kids Study is currently looking for 300 pregnant individuals in their first trimester of pregnancy that live in NJ to join the study.
If you decide to join the study, your participation will last 18 months.
During your pregnancy and your baby’s first year of life, you will complete online questionnaires and mail-in samples like mouth swabs and urine.
You will also collect samples from your baby to collect at home and mail back to our study team.
You may receive up to $580 for your full participation in the study.
This will help us to answer questions like:
How do things in the foods we eat impact our health?
How do chemicals in the environment impact our health?
How do things in the water we drink impact our health?
How does our neighborhood impact our health?
