 Schuylkill County Study Location Community Advisory Board


The Schuylkill County Study Location Community Advisory Board (CAB) was formed in 2010. The CAB ensures that community voices are represented in the development and implementation of the National Children’s Study in Schuylkill County.

CAB members provide invaluable knowledge about the people, culture, and customs of their local communities. They also provide suggestions and ideas that help ensure the continued success of the National Children’s Study in Schuylkill County.
