The ECHO cohorts capitalize on existing participant populations that include children from diverse background across the United States, and support approaches that can evolve with the science and take advantage of technological advances.Īs of Dec 2022, the cohorts have data from over 105,000 participants, which includes over 63,000 children.
Patient/Person (parent and child) Reported Outcomes (PROs).Genetic influences on early childhood health and development.The core elements addressed across all studies are: Although each cohort is unique, the collection of data in a similar way ensures that all information can be combined and used by researchers. The cohorts share standardized core data elements managed by a central coordinating center and an associated data analysis center. In most cases, cohorts recruited participants prenatally all cohorts are following children long-term.
The cohorts consist of children and their mothers (and some fathers). In addition to supporting individual cohort science, the main aim of the ECHO cohorts is to bring separate cohorts together into one large ECHO-wide Cohort so that ECHO investigators and the wider community of scientists can address research questions about effects of a broad range of early environmental exposures on child health and development, questions that no single cohort, or even a few, can answer alone. ECHO’s Five Health OutcomesĮCHO research focuses on five key pediatric outcomes that have a high public health impact: To enhance the health of children for generations to come.

The ECHO Program has two major components, the ECHO cohorts - for observational research, and the ECHO IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (ISPCTN) - for intervention research.
