Neurobehavioral Effects of Prevalent Neurotoxicants in Children: A Cohort Study of the Cincinnati Center for Children's Environmental Health
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Lead Hazard Control Intervention and Injury Hazard Control Intervention for Environmental Exposures and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 468 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of the HOME Study is to quantify the impact of low-level fetal and early childhood exposures to environmental toxicants including lead, mercury, and other metals, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), persistent organic pollutants (PBDEs/PFCs), phthalates, phenols, environmental tobacco smoke, and alcohol on child development, neurobehavior, health, and growth. The HOME Study will also evaluate meconium as a biomarker for fetal exposure and test the effectiveness of home repairs to control lead hazards and injuries in early childhood.

Interventions
Prior to their child's birth, participants randomized to Lead Reduction Group received lead hazard reduction controls to reduce residential exposure to lead.
Between 3 and 6 months of age, participants randomized to Injury Reduction Arm received injury hazard controls to reduce the number of residential injuries.
