The Infant Development and Environment Study (TIDES)
TIDES is a multi-site pregnancy study set up to examine how mothers' exposure to everyday chemicals while pregnant may affect the developing fetus. From 2010 to 2012, over 890 pregnant women and their resulting 787 single birth children were recruited into the study from obstetrical clinics affiliated with academic medical centers in four cities in the United States of America: Minneapolis, Rochester, San Francisco, and Seattle. Mothers included in TIDES were 31.3 years of age on average, and predominantly non-Hispanic and Caucasian.
