DoD Birth and Infant Health Registry
The Department of Defense (DoD) Birth and Infant Health Registry was established in 1998 by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to do just that. At the time, the growing number of women on active duty, along with diverse occupational exposures associated with military service, prompted the establishment of the Registry, which is managed by the Deployment Health Research Department at the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) in San Diego.
