ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to gather information to help create smarter tools that can better estimate iron levels in children. Iron is an essential nutrient, and not having enough can lead to health problems, particularly in young kids. The study is currently recruiting participants, specifically children aged between 6 months and 6 years. To participate, parents must be at least 21 years old, have access to the internet, and be comfortable with their child undergoing a blood test.

If you decide to take part, you and your child will fill out some questionnaires online, which will help researchers gather important data. It's important to note that some children may not be eligible for the study, especially those with certain medical conditions or issues that might affect how their blood can be tested. Overall, this trial aims to improve how we assess iron levels in young children, which can lead to better health outcomes.
