ENRIECO Aim: to advance our knowledge on specific environment and health causal relationships in pregnancy and birth cohorts by providing support to exploitation of past or ongoing studies. Objectives: • Make inventories of birth cohorts: health data, exposure data, biological samples environmental exposure response functions, expertise, access • Evaluate exposure, health and exposure-response data • Make recommendations Project Coordinator: Mark Nieuwenhuijsen (CREAL) • 8 Partners • > 30 European Birth Cohorts
CHICOS • “Developing a Child Cohort Strategy for Europe” • Project Coordinator: • Martine Vrijheid (CREAL) • Partners: • Danish National Birth Cohort • RHEA, Greece • NINFEA, Italy • Generation R, The Netherlands • MoBa, Norway • ALSPAC, Bristol, UK • INMA • Start: Jan 2010, 3 years • In negotiation stage
CHICOS Aim: To develop an integrated strategy for mother-child cohort research in Europe to feed into future call(s) in FP7 and beyond… Objectives: • To update/extent the inventory • To evaluate existing information from cohorts on child health outcomes and determinants: • Identify gaps in knowledge, geographical coverage, … • Develop recommendations for research action • Focus on key areas of policy concern • To review link between child cohort research and policy and make recommendations to improve the contribution of mother-child cohort research to policy at European level
CHICOS Outcome Themes • Perinatal outcomes • Asthma, respiratory health, allergies • Obesity, vascular and metabolic health • Neuro-cognitive and behavioural development • Accidents and injuries • Infectious diseases • Childhood cancer Determinant Themes • Social/cultural determinants and inequalities • Nutrition and physical activity • Life-style exposures • Environmental exposures • Biobanks and genetics • Multiple determinants (integrated risk assessment) Input from all interested cohorts: workshops, working groups,...
