Family Foundations for Individuals Pregnant Via ART (NCT06770972)
Family Foundations for Individuals Pregnant Via Assisted Reproductive Technology
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to help expectant mothers build a coparenting bond and improve communication with a support person (co-caregiver). Participation will include completing two online surveys (one at 12-30 weeks gestation \& one at 3 months postpartum), providing two at-home bloodspot collections and returning the collections via mail. Studies suggest that stress increases inflammation. Investigators aim to explore this by collecting a small amount of blood at the first and last session. Participants will also attend 9 virtual one-two hour Family Foundations (FF) intervention sessions (at no cost to participants) with a supportive co-caregiver. Total time commitment will be 18 hours, max, over a 6 month period.
