ECHO prenatal and early childhood pathways to health consortium (ECHO-PATHWAYS)
The ECHO-PATHWAYS study groups together data from three mother-baby cohorts: TIDES, GAPPS, and CANDLE, to form a cohort of 2,684 mother-baby dyads. Information was collected during pregnancy and up to when the children were aged 6 years in the original studies, and then the ECHO-PATHWAYS study contacted participants to collect further information and form the cohort. Of the ECHO-PATHWAYS cohort, 51% of the mothers self-identified as white and 38% as black, with the remainder identifying as Asian, Hispanic, or mixed-racial. The children in the cohort were 50% male.
