The way our bodies react to stress when we’re very young can affect our health for the rest of our lives – and this can vary from person to person. The goal of this research project is to learn more about how different children respond to stress and how to best measure stress in children. We are collecting a measure of attention skills and small samples of hair, cheek swabs, and saliva from children in all kinds of communities across the country. Scientists will look at these samples to learn more about how children respond to stress. This study session will last approximately 25-30 minutes.
