Programming Research in Environment and Social Stressors (PROGRESS)
PROGRESS aims to examine the effects of prenatal exposures to mixtures of metals, air pollution and phthalates on childhood executive function and metabolic outcomes in Mexico. Participants are around 1,000 mother-child dyads recruited during the mother’s pregnancy between 2007 and 2011 in Mexico City. Baseline assessment was completed at enrolment in the second trimester of pregnancy, with follow-ups in the third trimester, at delivery and into childhood and adolescence.
