The Life-course Social Context and Birth Outcomes Study (Pearl, PI) was funded in 2015 by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (HRSA R40MC28306). The study created a geocoded, statewide cross-generationally linked birth cohort of births from 1982-2011, the largest such cohort in the US for studying multigenerational exposure effects. The MIST study builds on this cohort and links to additional health datasets.
