We have research underway examining neurobehavioral outcomes assessed via the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) in relation to maternal urinary fluoride and aluminum levels.

It has a green leaf on the left side and Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals written beside it.We are collaborating with researchers at Health Canada and York University to examine impacts of prenatal and childhood fluoride exposure in relation to sleep behaviors in childhood among participants in the MIREC study. Sleep behaviors in MIREC have been assessed via accelerometry and self-report in middle-to-late childhood.
