 Welcome to National Children’s Study – Benton County

We are excited Benton County was selected as one of 105 locations within 43 states throughout the country to participate in the National Children’s Study. As the only location in Arkansas, Benton County has the opportunity to make a significant impact on the health and development of future generations. With a diverse population and a passion to promote the health, development, and well-being of its citizens, Benton County is the ideal location to serve as a contributor to the National Children’s Study.
