How will the National Children’s Study in Salt Lake County improve children’s health?
The National Children’s Study will work to answer many questions about children’s health. Researchers are looking for the causes of birth defects, asthma, obesity, diabetes, childhood injury, mental health issues, and many others. Most people know someone who has a child with one of these conditions. We need to find answers to why so many children suffer from these conditions so that we can help prevent them. Joining the National Children’s Study gives the residents of Salt Lake County an opportunity to help improve the health and well-being of children across the country for generations to come.
