Participants

Your contributions, our progress

From all of us at the PRÉVENTION cohort, we’d like to express our sincere gratitude for everyone who participated in this large-scale study.

As a participant, you generously offered your time, agreed to participate in certain exams and biological specimen collection, and filled out questionnaires. Through your work with our team, you helped us make significant progress in preventing problems during pregnancy and related to child health.

We’d also like to emphasize how important it is to stay in contact with you. Your continual involvement is crucial for ensuring that our research remains valid and relevant over the long-term. Thank you for your commitment. We encourage you to update your contact information if anything has changed since you first joined the study. 

News from the PRÉVENTION Project

30-Month Visits Are Now Underway

We are very pleased to share an important milestone in the PRÉVENTION project: the 30-month visits with participating children have officially begun.

We would also like to highlight that recruitment in early pregnancy is now complete. Thanks to your outstanding commitment, 3,239 women and 2,952 partners were recruited and are now part of the PRÉVENTION project. You are part of a large cohort, a true community of families working together to advance research on child health and development.

The final third-trimester pregnancy visits will take place in mid-February, marking the end of this important phase of the project.

Through your participation during pregnancy and since your child’s birth, including completing questionnaires at 6 and 18 months, you are already making an essential contribution to advancing knowledge about early childhood development and health. The 30-month visits are a natural continuation of this journey.

What Do the 30-Month Visits Involve?

During this visit, a member of our research team will invite your child to take part in a series of activities presented as games. In a positive and supportive setting, these activities allow us to observe skills such as memory, attention, and problem-solving. For example, your child may play with blocks, complete puzzles, answer short questions, or use a tablet.

We would like to warmly thank all the families taking part in this stage of the project. Your commitment is helping us better understand how experiences before and after birth can influence children’s development, behaviour, and health.
