Welcome to the Wayne County Study Location

Wayne County Study Location Currently Enrolling

Wayne County is the largest and most urban of the Michigan counties included in the national sample. In Wayne County, the Michigan Alliance for the National Children’s Study (MANCS) team has begun work for the Study, including hiring staff, developing community engagement plans, and selecting areas where participants will be recruited. After a period of about three years of local preparation, enrollment of Study participants has begun in selected regions of the county.

In the fall of 2007, MANCS was successful in its proposal to the National Institutes of Health to become part of the National Children’s Study. MANCS was awarded an $18.5 million 5-year contract to conduct the Study in Wayne County, Michigan.
