A number of National Children’s Study Support Contractors and Study Centers—and the Program Office’s own Drs. Carl Hill and Mike Dellarco—delivered oral and poster presentations at the 2011 APHA Annual Meeting and Exposition that took place in Washington, DC on October 29–November 2, 2011.

Below is the list of APHA presentations from our National Children’s Study community.
