Participants will be asked to:

Navajo Birth Cohort Study
(NBCS)

• Complete surveys before birth and at 2-,
6-, 9- and 12-months after birth

• The primary goal of this study is to
determine whether exposure to
uranium wastes affects birth outcomes
and child development on the Navajo
Nation.

• Provide urine and blood samples and
consent to a medical record review

• Participants will be surveyed during
their pregnancies and take part in four
developmental assessments with their
child in her first year.

• Consent to child's growth and
developmental assessments, blood and
urine collection, and home
environmental sampling

• The study will provide broad public
health benefits for Navajo communities,
including ―
• early assessment and education on
environmental, prenatal risks;
• service referral when developmental concerns are identified; and
• heightened awareness of impacts
of environmental exposures among
Navajo area health care providers
• The study is funded by Congress at the
request of the Navajo Nation and in
response to concerns expressed by
women about the health impacts of
living near abandoned uranium mines.

• Consent to a home environmental
assessment and sampling

Direct Benefits for Participants:
• The home environmental assessment
will indicate if any serious levels of
contamination are present, and if so, the
family will be referred to the
appropriate agency for further
environmental testing.
• Access to information on communitybased infant services and programs,
including WIC and First Things First.
• Children with developmental concerns
will be referred to Growing In Beauty,
Navajo Nation Early Intervention
Program, for services.
