The Hassenfeld Child Health Innovation Institute

Rhode Island is the only state in the U.S. in which the majority of residents give birth at one hospital. The Hassenfeld Child Health Innovation Institute uses this unique opportunity to implement the Hassenfeld Study, a broad longitudinal study gathering prospective data on the health of women and their infants. This study, based at Women & Infants Hospital, provides a foundation for researchers to investigate some of the most pressing child health issues. The Hassenfeld Child Health Innovation Institute, a collaboration between Brown’s School of Public Health and The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, aims to make Rhode Island among the world’s healthiest places for children.
