The Salt Lake County Community Advisory Board (CAB) was formed in 2005. The purpose of the CAB is to give a community perspective to the National Children’s Study. The CAB members’ unique knowledge of the local community is invaluable to the success of the Study in Salt Lake County. The CAB members continue to offer important insights that have enhanced the development of the National Children’s Study at both the local and national levels.
