FNNDSC Studies Currently Recruiting
The HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study is recruiting people who are pregnant. We hope to learn how early life experiences can shape how a child develops.
Families are asked to participate in activities once during pregnancy, and across several visits during early childhood. Study activities include:
• Surveys about daily experiences
• Biological samples like saliva from you and your child
• Interactive activities for you and your child
• Pictures of your child’s brain
• Wearable sensors to measure your child’s heartbeat and movement
• Physical measurements of your child’s growth
If you're interested in joining this exciting study, you can learn more at https://HBCDStudy.org, or contact HBCD@childrens.harvard.edu. We would love to have you and your family be a part of this important research!
