Study how air pollution affects youth development
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether exposure to air pollution during youth is linked to how children grow, learn, or develop. You may be invited if your family is already part of an earlier birth cohort study and can complete questionnaires and (if needed) brain imaging safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be enrolled in the BYS-ECHO birth cohort study (the earlier parent study)
- You (and at least one parent) must speak English or Spanish
- A parent must be eligible for the parent part of the study and agree to participate
- You should not have a serious neurological condition (for example, seizure disorder)
- You must be able to have an MRI safely (no permanent metal and no issues that make MRI unsafe)
- You should not have severe fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia)

This study follows pregnant parents and their child to understand what factors influence early brain and development. It compares families with an autistic sibling (higher risk) to families without (lower risk) to spot patterns that may help future care.
This study looks at how the air inside your home and school might affect your child's health and how they feel. If you join, your child will use an app and follow simple steps, and the researchers will track their health and wellbeing over time.
This research study measures how your brain and nervous system respond to sensory experiences like sounds and lights. Researchers want to understand these responses in people with and without neurodevelopmental conditions (like autism or ADHD) to learn more about how sensory processing differs.
This study looks at how environmental pollutants might affect brain health and neurological disorders. If you join, you will help researchers understand possible links between pollution and conditions like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.
This study uses brain testing (including MRI scanning) to better understand how young children’s brains support social emotions and communication. It may help researchers learn what brain patterns look like in typical early development.
This study looks at how the brain “mirrors” or responds to actions, with the goal of finding early signs of neurodevelopmental disorders. It includes healthy adults and infants, and infants who may be at risk, to compare brain patterns early on.
