REGISTER NOW: IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO CHILDREN OF VIETNAM
VETERANS
http://agentorangelegacy.com/2013/02/register-now-important-message-
to-children-of-vietnam-veterans/
Vietnam Veterans of America Agent Orange/Dioxin Committee is asking
the children of Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange; adult
children (we recommend you register your children also) who are ill
and/or have birth defects, learning disabilities and/or mental health
issues; to register with Birth Defect Research for Children, Inc. National
Birth Defect Registry.
Participation in the registry includes:
Completing an online questionnaire which can be found at this link:
http://www.birthdefects.org/registry/
The questionnaire will ask about you (the child) or your disabilities;
health and family history of both parents; exposures during pregnancy
and occupational exposures.
A special section will ask about the veteran’s service in Vietnam. This
section was designed in collaboration with the New Jersey State Agent
Orange Commission.
Collected data will be used for a study of the pattern of birth defects
and disabilities that have been most frequently reported in the children
of Vietnam veterans.
All data are confidential. Your permission would be requested before
any researcher would get in touch with you.
For more information contact Betty Mekdeci, 407-895-0802 or send
email to betty@birthdefects.org.
