Overview

Brief Summary

The overall goal of this project is to establish a pilot study to develop and refine an intervention to promote consumption of fish low in mercury and high in n-3 PUFA among pregnant women. The investigators will demonstrate our ability to recruit pregnant women, influence their fish consumption, and measure changes in nutrient and toxicant biomarkers.
