PROMIS Depressive Symptoms 8a - Pediatric in Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO)-wide Cohort - 2nd Release

PROMIS Depressive Symptoms 8a - Pediatric
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.
