Opportunity For Students
Boston Children’s Hospital has a special opportunity for students to participate in a unique nutrition study on milk consumption and childhood health.
The study is being run by our team at the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center. We’re aiming to recruit 9- to 12-year-old boys and girls to participate in the trial. The study will compare the effects of whole milk and nonfat milk on nutrition and health-related outcomes.
Eligible children whose parents decide to enroll will receive free milk deliveries from Crescent Ridge Dairy in Sharon, MA, for a full year, with the possibility of financial compensation as well.
Please contact Elisabetta Ferrero, MPH, Clinical Research Assistant with any questions at Elisabetta.ferrero@childrens.harvard.edu or 617.919.7305.
