San Diego, CA
SAN DIEGO (March 5, 2024) Dr. Ava Marie S. Conlin, principal investigator of the Department of Defense (DoD)'s Birth and Infant Health Research (BIHR) Program reflects on recent findings. The BIHR program conducts one of the nation’s largest and longest-running surveillance efforts focused on infant health outcomes among military families. Established in 1998, BIHR has collected data from nearly three million births over 28 years, creating a comprehensive picture of infant health across generations of military families. These long-term data allow researchers to track trends over time, identify emerging concerns, inform healthcare policy, and strengthen confidence in the safety and quality of care for warfighters and their beneficiaries. Naval Health Research Center, part of Navy Medicine Research & Development, supports Navy, Marine Corps and joint U.S. warfighter health readiness and lethality with research and development that delivers high-value, high-impact solutions to the health and readiness challenges U.S. military population faces on the battlefield, at-sea, home and abroad.
