Launched by the National Institutes of Health in 2016, the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program is a 7-year initiative designed to advance knowledge of environmental exposure effects on the health of the nation’s children (for more information, see www. echochildren. org). ECHO includes 84 individual cohort studies, with an anticipated combined sample of more than 50,000 children. These studies will contribute existing and newly-collected data on a broad array of environmental exposures, which are measured from before birth to 5 years of age, and their relation to one or more of ECHO’s original outcome areas assessed from birth through childhood and adolescence: airways (eg, asthma); obesity; pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes (eg, low birth weight, small for gestational age); and, neurodevelopment (eg, autism, cognition). During program launch, ECHO leadership added a fifth outcome area that is universally applicable to all children (and thus relevant to all cohorts) and that provides high value to science and children themselves. Stemming from ECHO’s goal of understanding the developmental origins of child health, ECHO calls this new area positive health, which also complements the other outcome areas that focus on risk, disorder, and illness.
