Researchers at Washington State University invite pregnant women to participate in a study of pregnancy, health, and motherhood.
Participation includes three visits with our research team: visit 1 is during your 3rd trimester, visit 2 is during the first month after your baby is born, and visit 3 is when your baby is 6 months old. At each meeting, you will complete an online survey at home.
- At visit 1, members of our research team will come to your home for about 60 minutes to measure heart rate, take a small hair sample, and collect other information.
- At visit 2, members of our research team will come to your home for 30 minutes to ask some questions.
- At visit 3, you and your baby will come to our laboratory on the Washington State University Vancouver campus for 60-90 minutes. You and your baby will interact with each other and with members of our research team. We want to learn about how parents’ and children’s bodies respond during social interactions, so we will use skin sensors to measure things like heart rate on both you and your baby. We also want to collect a biological sample from your baby via cheek swab.
You will receive $30 for participating in visit 1, $30 for participating in visit 2, and $40 for participating in visit 3. Your child will also receive a small thank you toy (worth $5) at the end of visit 3. Your participation will help us learn about health during pregnancy and the first months of motherhood.
