Abstract: BD-STEPS is a case-control study similiar to the National Birth Defects Prevention Study that stopped interviewing participants in 2013. As in NBDPS, control infants are randomly selected from birth certificates or birth hospital records; mothers of case and control infants are interviewed using CATI. Parents are asked to collect DNA samples from themselves and their infants.
