Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development Cohort Study
3400+ Canadian kids are helping to predict, prevent and treat chronic diseases
and the Bode lab is helping to discover the role of human milk oligosaccharides
The CHILD Study is a prospective longitudinal birth cohort study. This means that CHILD researchers are actively following the Study participants over time as they grow and develop—from mid-pregnancy into childhood and adolescence.
CHILD is the largest multidisciplinary, longitudinal, population-based birth cohort study in Canada and is designed to be one of the most informative studies of its kind in the world.
