Answer:2.1 Adult Urine
Adult urine specimens will be collected at the P1 mother, T1 mother, T1 father, and T3 mother
study events. Adult urine specimens will be analyzed to obtain information about physiological
conditions and environmental exposures.
A participant may provide a urine specimen at any time during a specified visit. However, for
visits during which both urine and vaginal specimens are collected, it is preferred that the
participant self-collects the vaginal specimens at the same time (i.e., during the same bathroom
visit) as the urine specimen.
