Abstract: Since 1997, the NCBDDD has been conducting the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS), a case-control study of risk factors for selected birth defects. Infants with birth defects are identified and maternal interviews, and clinical/laboratory tests are conducted on approximately 300 cases and 100 controls per year. Controls are selected among normal births in the same population. These proposed focus groups (which are a supplement to the National Birth Defects Prevention Study) will use qualitative research to provide data on the barriers to participation in the collection of biological specimens by mothers on themselves, their infants, and young children.
