OT: Pediatricians Fight to Keep National Children's Study Alive

[Guest guest]

I just read in the paper that the National Children's Study is in danger of

being terminated due to lack of funding. This is the biggest study of

children's health and the environment (being planned since 2000), expected to

follow 100,000 children from birth through age 21, with particular focus on

disabilities such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and asthma, among others. If you

feel

this study should be funded (as pediatricians do), then please contact your

federal legislators and let them know how you feel!
