MIST is a partnership between the California Department of Public Health, Environmental Health Investigations Branch, and the Sequoia Foundation.

​

The study is made possible by funding from the Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program (TRDRP).

​

MIST’s generationally-linked data and specimens derive from the California Biobank Program’s biospecimen repository and linked database.

​

Our laboratory partner, the Tobacco Biomarker Core Facility at the University of California, San Francisco, is conducting cotinine analysis on newborn dried blood spot specimens for MIST.
