Feasibility of Sampling Hair for Cortisol Analysis in High-Risk Mothers and Their Toddlers
Abstract
This poster presents the feasibility and methods of sampling hair for cortisol concentration in high-risk mother-toddler dyads. We approached 142 low-income, urban-dwelling mothers living in the Midwest for consent to cut approximately 150 hairs from the posterior vertex of the scalp from themselves and their toddler; 94 dyads participated.
