We are so excited that you have chosen to be a part of ECHO Boston. We could not conduct this study without your time and dedication. With your help, we will meaningfully add to the scientific findings already produced in ECHO Cycle 1, which you can check out here.

As part of the ECHO study, you and your family will be contributing to research on maternal and child health. Think of yourself as a citizen scientist! With the knowledge and experiences you bring to ECHO, we can support moms, children and families through scientific discovery, as well as inform policies to create healthier communities.
