Project Timeline: 8/24/2006-6/30/2007

The chief component of this project was the development of a datafile containing a sample of 800 ethnically and economically diverse sample women undergoing pregnancy testing at public and private health clinics. Sequoia Foundation delivered the datafile, and all supporting documentation, which contained all required data: maternal sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics pertaining to the year prior to pregnancy testing, birth certificates for all children born to mothers in the sample, and urinary cotinine and phytoestrogen concentrations for all women in the sample.
