TARGet Kids! is a long-term research study that tracks healthy young children from birth through age 5 by collecting information during their regular check-ups with pediatricians and family doctors. The study aims to understand how a child's early nutrition, diet, and other life experiences are connected to later health problems like obesity, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and developmental delays. By gathering this information from many children over time, researchers hope to find ways to prevent these health problems before they start.
Many children today struggle with nutrition-related health problems, but doctors don't always know which early experiences or dietary patterns put kids at risk. This study exists to identify those warning signs early so that families and doctors can take action sooner.

If your child is enrolled, you'll simply participate during your regular well-child visits at your pediatrician's or family doctor's office. Researchers will collect information about your child's nutrition, diet, growth, and development as part of these routine appointments — no extra visits needed. Over time, this information is added to a registry that helps researchers spot patterns and connections between early health and later outcomes.
