| Main study parameters/endpoints:Measuring pesticides and performing targeted cognitive tests will help in understanding if pesticide exposures affect cognition in children. The main endpoint of this pilot study is to find the best available method for measuring exposure to pesticides in children from a range of possible methods, see Table 1, and to test the feasibility of remote (online) cognitive testing in children. This pilot will ultimately be followed up by an in-depth study on a larger scale, using biomonitoring and testing of cognition in children, and an evaluation using CBS data to explore the association of pesticide exposure with school grades. The aim is to do all sample and data collection remotely, without in-person contact between researchers and study participants. The associated challenges are the focus of the pilot study. | — |

| Secondary Objective(s):The study also aims to contribute quantitative exposure data to the ongoing exposure assessment study (protocol NL54727.041.15, ‘residents and pesticides’). In addition, it aims to develop a recruitment strategy, to develop the study information material and to collect feedback by the study participants and their guardians about possible challenges or suggestions to improve the study. | — |
