The Pediatric Health Outcomes Initiative (PHOI) is a prospective registry that will collect data from volunteers in pediatric practices on potential factors in acute and chronic diseases including breastfeeding, birth delivery route, vaccination status, and medications. The goal of PHOI is to provide a data registry that can be used by researchers in future studies to identify potential interventions to improve overall pediatric outcomes.

Over the last 40 years, there has been an increase in the number of children diagnosed with multiple conditions, including asthma, eczema, allergies, attention deficit disorder (ADD), and autism. Physicians and researchers have questions regarding what may be causing this.

The Pediatric Health Outcomes Initiative is a prospective registry that seeks to recruit 5,000 newborns (< 30 days old), and will follow them for 18 years to determine if a variety of environmental and health-related factors play a role in the development of either acute or chronic diseases amongst the children of the United States.
