About Our Participants

Established in 2009, APrON is a cohort study with approximately 5,000 participants from Alberta, including 2,200 pregnant women, their children, and many of their partners. Our APrON youth participants have now reached 15 years of age, and we are excited to begin our 15-year follow-up.

We are incredibly grateful to our APrON participants—your involvement makes our research possible. Thank you for being a vital part of this study!

Ever wonder how many other APrON babies share the same name as your son or daughter? The word chart above shows the most common baby names in APrON. Names with larger font size are more common while names with smaller font size are less common.

If you cannot find your baby’s name in the chart, don’t pull your magnifying glass out just yet! Only names that were given to at least 3 APrON babies are represented in the word chart above.
