ACNC Studies

The Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center conducts research at all stages of development, including pregnancy, infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Study areas include the health and exercise of mothers during pregnancy; nutrition, growth, allergies, and sleep in babies and young children; and how diet, body makeup, brain health, obesity, and fitness affect older children and teens. Participants can join these studies after a short screening process.
