Mapping women's experiences during their reproductive journeys

Summary

Compensation for participation in study: $50 gift card to a local coffee shop

We are looking for women who want to get pregnant in the next 3 years, are currently pregnant, or have given birth less than 5 years ago to share their health experiences with us. Your experiences will help us identify how we can better connect women to resources related to their health (physical health, diet, and more) so they can lead healthier lives through their pregnancy and as mothers.

If you decide to participate in this study, we will ask you to complete 4 steps:
Step 1 - Read and sign an informed consent form - this form contains detailed information about the study (5-10 minutes of your time)
Step 2 - Fill out a demographic and health survey (2-3 minutes of your time)
Step 3 - Fill out a poll to schedule an online focus group (2-3 minutes of your time)
Step 4 - Participate in a focus group, online over Zoom, scheduled at your convenience (60 minutes of your time)

When you complete all of the above study tasks, you will be emailed a multipurpose $50 gift card that can be used at many retail and food businesses.
