CANOPY Study

STUDY BASICS

Researchers at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC are conducting a research study to help better understand women’s experiences with miscarriage and preferences for care. Participants are women between the ages of 18-45 who have had a miscarriage within the last 6 months and are willing to be interviewed about their experience. Compensation provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

Over 1 million women per year experience a miscarriage in the United States, but there is little research about how healthcare providers can best help women at this time. The purpose of this study is to help researchers better understand women’s needs and preferences for care during and after a pregnancy loss.
