Why CHARM matters
CHARM’s principal tool is the cohort study that begins in pregnancy and continues into childhood.
"We feel that learning about what happens in pregnancy in real-time is critical if we are to make a difference in maternal and child health."
Exposures that increase the risks of these conditions are not understood well, especially those that occur at critical times in pregnancy. A carefully studied pregnancy cohort can address this problem. Our long-term goal is to improve the health of Michigan mothers and children, and especially to reduce the high burden of infant and maternal mortality and severe morbidity in our state.
