 Complete mailed Questionnaires about child and parents
After you complete a brief phone screening and agree to be in the study, you will receive some packages of study information, medical records release forms, and questionnaires to complete. |

 Send cheek swabs to the study lab
You will be asked to use a very small brush to wipe some cheek cells from the inside of your and your child’s mouths and send them to the study lab. |
|
 Complete a phone interview
The person who has spent the most time taking care of the child will be interviewed about the child’s early years and about the pregnancy with this child. |
|
 Clinic Visit-Child
A parent or guardian will bring the child to the study clinic for an assessment of his or her development. This will include a brief physical exam and may include a blood draw. A few weeks later families will get a letter describing the assessment results. |
|
 Clinic Visit-Parent
The parent will be asked more questions about the child and asked to provide a blood sample. This can be scheduled either at the same time as the child's visit or on a separate day.

 Diary of child’s diet and stools
Parents will be asked to complete a diary for several days on the things their child eats and on his or her bowel movements. |
