About Us:

The Neighborhood Impact on Kids Project is funded by the National Institutes of Health. It is being conducted in San Diego, CA and King County, WA to learn more about how local neighborhoods can affect the health and growth of children.

For this project we are looking for:

• Children between the ages of 5-11 and their parents who...
  
• are able to walk and have no disorders that affect growth or diet...
  
• and plan to stay at the same residence for at least 2 years

To participate, parents will complete a survey about their home and neighborhood, and tell us about the variety of foods their child has eaten. Children will wear an activity meter for one week, and we will take measurements of their growth. For participating in this first step, families will receive $25!

Families will be contacted again 2 years later, complete the same process and receive $35!

If you fit our criteria and live in either San Diego or King Counties, contact us to participate!
