Illinois Kids Development Study (IKIDS)
IKIDS is a prospective birth cohort study in which women are enrolled early in pregnancy and their children are followed from birth through middle childhood to investigate the impact of prenatal exposures to chemicals and other environmental factors on neurodevelopment. Pregnant women were recruited at their first prenatal care appointment from two local obstetric clinics in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, United States of America. Participants were recruited between December 2013 and March 2020 at two local obstetric clinics and gave birth at two local hospitals.
