Pediatric Cohorts

ECHO funds existing pediatric cohorts with a goal of enrolling more than 50,000 children from diverse racial, geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds to become part of the ECHO consortium. These cohort studies analyze existing data and follow the children over time to address the early environmental origins of at least one of ECHO’s health outcome areas. Each cohort participates with the others to combine data that are collected in a standardized way across the consortium. Please visit the ECHO Coordinating Center’s website to view an interactive map of the ECHO Cohort locations across the United States.
