Project Description
Capitalizing on a partnership with the Altino Ventura Foundation (FAV), one of the few institutions providing intensive intervention and surveillance to children with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) and their families, we will enroll and follow the development of 240 affected babies. This project will be the first comprehensive longitudinal study of early development in providing an understanding of the evolving natural history of CZS and baseline data for comparing impact in other populations or for examining the effects of future treatment programs. We will provide the first examination of families and how they adapt to the significant caregiving demands imposed by CZS and explore the impact of service access and support on outcomes for children and their caregivers.
