Description:The National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS) is the largest population-based case-control study ever conducted in the United States to examine risk factors for birth defects.
The NBDPS was established to identify genetic and environmental risk factors for major birth defects. Researchers for the NBDPS began collecting data for births in October 1997 and more than 41,000 women have been interviewed to date. The Centers for Birth Defects Research and Prevention that participate in the NBDPS and have collaborated on this study are located in Arkansas, California, Georgia, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Texas and Utah. Each center has actively collected data on babies with and without birth defects in their area. Also, the centers conduct research to identify risk factors for birth defects and suggest areas for further investigation.
