Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition in Acre, Brazil (MINA-Brazil)
MINA-Brazil investigates the effects of early environmental exposures and maternal lifestyle choices on the growth and development of Amazonian children. In 2015 and 2016, the study recruited mothers during pregnancy or at delivery in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, Brazil, as well as their infants, leading to a total sample of over 1,200 mother-child dyads. Assessments took place during pregnancy, delivery, at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years after delivery, with planned follow-up assessments for as long as possible during childhood.
