Effectiveness of a multicOmpoNent Behavioural intervenTion to Reduce endocrINe disrUptor Exposure During pErinatal Period (CONTINUE)
Sponsor: Fundació Institut Germans Trias i Pujol
Summary
The general objective of HYPIEND is to understand the effects of chemical substances called "endocrine disruptors" (EDCs) during the perinatal and pre-pubertal stages. EDCs co-exposure may affect the function of hormones and determine endocrine consequences in vulnerable populations. The primary objective of this clinical study is to demonstrate that a multicomponent intervention implemented in health care centres from three European countries is effective in reducing the levels of EDCs in different body fluids of pregnant women, breastfeeding and formula feeding women as well as in their infants up to 18 months of age, improving at the same time the level of HAPA constructs (psychological determinants of behaviour) and the knowledge about these chemicals at family level.
