The SUPPORT Research Study - Food Insecurity

STUDY BASICS

Are you less than 12 weeks pregnant and experiencing periods of time where access to nutritional food is limited or are you not always sure where your next meal may come from? You may be eligible for a research study to find out if using a trimester-specific prenatal vitamin verses a generic prenatal vitamin starting in the first trimester of pregnancy will improve health. Compensation provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

The purpose of the SUPPORT research study is to compare Perelel’s trimester-specific prenatal supplement to a generic prenatal supplement in 200 women who report food insecurity.

COULD THIS STUDY BE RIGHT FOR YOU?

• Are pregnant and 18 years or older
• Are less than 12 weeks pregnant
• Experience periods of time where access to nutritional food is limited or you are not always sure where your next meal may come from
• Receive care at a Magee-Womens associated prenatal practice

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT

You will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to take either Perelel trimester-specific prenatal supplements or generic prenatal supplements for the rest of your pregnancy.

You will complete one in-person visit while you are less than 12 weeks of pregnancy.

• Blood samples will be collected
• Brief surveys will be completed
