CHAPS has two extension projects currently in action
CHAPS Cohort Maintenance
Project Overview
The major goal of the CHAPS Cohort Maintenance project is to continue the longitudinal follow-up of participants in the Children's Health and Air Pollution Study (CHAPS). This epidemiological study has been focusing on the effects of air pollution on children growing up in the San Joaquin Valley of California, one of the most polluted areas in the country.

CHAPS: STACK
Project Overview
The CHAPS: STACK (Children's Health and Air Pollution Study: Standardized Assessments, Attention, and Cognition in California Kids) study aims to determine whether exposure to air pollution is related to neurodevelopment in children. It assesses the relationship between air pollution and standardized test performance across California. Additionally, it conducts an in-depth exploration of lifetime exposure to multiple pollutants in a highly exposed subpopulation within California.
Geographic Area of Focus
San Joaquin Valley; Especially Fresno
