Early Childhood Education Data in Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO)-wide Cohort - 2nd Release

Early Childhood Education Data
Study Description
The National Institutes of Health launched the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) initiative in September 2016. The Program focuses on five pediatric outcome areas: obesity, neurodevelopment, upper and lower airways, pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes, and positive health. The ECHO-wide Cohort Study, presented here, incorporates longitudinal data on a growing 30,000 pregnancies and 50,000 children from 69 pediatric cohorts to investigate how exposure to environmental factors — including physical, chemical, biological, social, behavioral, natural, and built environments — impact child health and development. By bringing data together into one large ECHO-wide Cohort, scientists can address questions that no single cohort, or a few working together, can answer. Most of the cohorts existed prior to ECHO, bringing a wealth of extant data for compilation and harmonization, in addition to standardized collection of new essential and recommended data elements. As of August 31, 2022, 32,311 pregnancies (among 21,801 pregnant persons) and 30,904 children agreed to participate in new ECHO-wide Cohort data collection. Longitudinal data are collected for pregnancies and life stages of the child to 21 years of age.

研究概况
美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health，NIH）于2016年9月启动了“儿童健康结局的环境影响（Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes，ECHO）”计划。该项目聚焦五大儿科结局领域：肥胖、神经发育、上下呼吸道疾病、产前、围产期及产后结局，以及积极健康。本次展示的ECHO全队列研究（ECHO-wide Cohort Study）整合了来自69个儿科队列的纵向数据，覆盖持续增长的3万余例妊娠与5万名儿童，旨在探究物理、化学、生物、社会、行为、自然及建成环境等各类环境因素暴露对儿童健康与发育的影响。通过将多队列数据整合为一个大型ECHO全队列，科研人员能够解答单个队列或少量协作队列无法解决的科学问题。本项目的多数队列在ECHO计划启动前便已组建，除标准化采集新的必要及推荐数据要素外，还积累了大量可用于整合与协调的现有数据。截至2022年8月31日，共有32311例妊娠（涉及21801名妊娠个体）与30904名儿童同意参与ECHO全队列的新增数据采集工作。研究将采集妊娠期间及儿童直至21岁各生命阶段的纵向数据。
