NYU Children’s Health and Environment Study (NYU CHES)
NYU CHES is a clinically enrolled, prospective cohort study from fetal life onward based in New York, United States of America, that aims to evaluate the influences of prenatal non-persistent chemical exposures on fetal and postnatal growth. Since March 2016, NYU CHES staff enrolled pregnant women into a biobank study from three New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine affiliates: NYU Langone Hospital—Manhattan, Bellevue Hospital, and NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, a diverse hospital serving a wide array of populations. Between March 22, 2016 and April 15, 2019, the study enrolled close to 2,500 pregnant women into a pregnancy biobank, of whom 2,193 women completed a questionnaire and continued into NYU CHES.
