First Sites Picked for Child-Health Study

WASHINGTON -- Mothers-to-be in six states will be the first recruited for the largest study of U.S. children ever performed, aiming to track 100,000 from the womb to age 21 to learn how the environment affects youngsters' health. Ultimately the government wants 105 communities to participate in the National Children's Study, a quest to prove both what's harmful and what's benign in kids' environments -- from chemicals to diets to toddler TV.
