The Role of Seafood Consumption in Child Growth and Development
This new report, from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, examines associations between seafood intake for children, adolescents, and pregnant and lactating women and child growth and development. The committee also evaluated when to conduct risk-benefit analyses (RBAs), while considering contextual factors such as equity, diversity, inclusion, and access to health care, and explored how these factors might impact RBAs.
These briefings were for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on March 21, 2024 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
