UW-Madison School of Nursing Recruiting for Perinatal Research

Posted on November 2, 2023

Pregnant and planning to breastfeed your baby? Join our research study! We want to better understand how a mother’s mental health during pregnancy and lactation affects moms and babies. We are looking for women who are pregnant, 18 years of age or older, and able to read and speak English. We’re also looking for a group of women who have been taking an antidepressant since before their pregnancy and those that are not taking antidepressant medications. What will participation involve? 1) Complete 2 in-person appointments after your baby is born We will meet with you 1 week and 4 weeks after you deliver your baby. You can choose the location for these appointments. During the appointments you will complete a health history questionnaire. We will also collect a breastmilk sample from you and a stool sample from your baby. 2) Receive $25 for each appointment you complete To learn more, please contact researcher Katelyn Desorcy-Scherer (RN, PhD) at: 608-265-7485 perinatalresearch@nursing.wisc.edu Email is generally not a secure way to communicate sensitive or health related information, as there are many ways for unauthorized users to access email.  You should avoid sending sensitive, detailed personal information by email.  Email should also not be used to convey information of an urgent nature.  If you need to talk to someone immediately or would prefer not to receive study communication by email, please contact the research team by phone at (608) 265-7485
