Women and Infants Research

3D Ultrasound Study

Written by Care New England | August 5, 2020

Study Information

We are looking for healthy, smoking and non-smoking, pregnant women for a research study. We are interested in learning how mother’s behaviors and feelings during pregnancy influence the behaviors and brain development of her baby.

After an initial telephone screen, you may be asked to participate in interviews about your habits, feelings, and health during your pregnancy. You will be asked to complete up to three 3D non-diagnostic ultrasounds. After you deliver, a researcher will complete newborn and infant exams with your baby. You will be compensated for your time.
