Substantial literature has investigated the negative impact of prenatal exposures to phthalates and bisphenols on developmental programming of cognition and behavior. Yet few studies have examined exposures beyond early childhood. Further, the rigor of earlier studies is limited due to the lack of focus on mechanisms and failure to apply a life course approach.This project is embedded within the Generation R Study, a multidisciplinary, innovative, and outstanding research study, which prospectively follows approximately 8,000 children from the general population from before birth into adolescence.
The main aims of this project are to determine the impact of prenatal, childhood, and early adolescent phthalate and bisphenol exposures on executive function and behavior in adolescents and to examine potential mechanisms underlying adverse influences of phthalates and bisphenols. To achieve these goals, this project leverages rich data in the Generation R Study, encompassing detailed assessment of cognition and behavior, neuroimaging, and chemical measurements through adolescence.
