The National Children's Study is an integrated system of activities that includes a Vanguard (Pilot) Study for operations and methods development, and an NCS Main Study to collect data on exposure and response. The Vanguard (Pilot) Study, which includes the Initial Vanguard Study, the Alternate Recruitment Substudy (Phases 1 and 2), and the Provider-Based Sampling Feasibility Study (proposed in this information collection request), is currently underway. The Main Study is expected to follow within the next year. This request for revision includes (1) the addition of a Provider-Based Sampling Feasibility Study, and (2) supplemental measures for the Alternate Recruitment Substudy involving revised study visit assessments, physical measurements, and additional biospecimen collections. These information collections, revisions of instruments, physical measure implementation, and biospecimen collections will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and cost of study design elements to inform the Main Study.
