National Children's Study & Humboldt County: Partners in our Children's Health

Humboldt County has been selected as a study site for the National Children's Study, the largest long-term study on the environment's effects on children's health & development ever conducted in the United States.

100,000 children from more than 100 diverse communities nationwide will participate. In Humboldt County, 1000 children and their families will be included in the study.
