Abstract
The National Children's Study (NCS) is a large, longterm study designed to detect environmental influences on the health and development of children.

The authors provide an overview of key design and planning processes that will be used at all NCS Vanguard locations, the specific approaches to be used in the NCS Waukesha County Vanguard Center, and information about how Wisconsin physicians and other health care professionals can become involved in working with the NCS.
