Purpose of this Study

We are doing the Project HOPE study to better understand the health outcomes of moms and babies. We want to identify factors that contribute to poor birth outcomes, which might include premature both or low birthweight. We also want to learn more about what contributes to positive or negative maternal health outcomes, and longer-term child health and well-being outcomes, including academic achievement and physical development.
