During the open house, CDC/ATSDR will discuss the recently published manuscript, Multi-Site Study of Communities with PFAS-Contaminated Drinking Water: Methods, Demographics, and Serum PFAS Concentrations.

Investigators from each of the study sites will provide early findings on PFAS exposure and health effects including Lipids, Cardiovascular Disease, Hypertension, Diabetes,  Metabolic Syndrome, Thyroid, and Obesity. These findings are preliminary and may change as manuscripts are finalized.

Due to the size of the meeting and platform limitations, presenters will only be able to answer study-related questions that are submitted in advance to mss@cdc.gov. Presenters are not able to answer individual health/medical questions.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is working to identify links between exposure to PFAS and health outcomes. We are doing this through two community-based studies: (1) the Michigan PFAS Exposure and Health Study (MiPEHS) and (2) the Multi-site Health Study (MSS).

MSS is a study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in seven states across the United States. ATSDR has partnered with MDHHS to conduct MSS in the City of Parchment and Cooper Township in Kalamazoo County and the Belmont/Rockford area in Kent County.
