The SUPPORT Research Study - Teens 14-17

STUDY BASICS

Are you the parent of a teen that is less than 12 weeks pregnant and experiencing periods of time where access to nutritional food is limited or are not always sure where the next meal may come from? They 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.

STUDY PURPOSE

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

COULD THIS STUDY BE RIGHT FOR YOUR CHILD?

• Are pregnant and 14-17 years old
• Are less than 12 weeks pregnant
• Receive care at a Magee-Women’s associated prenatal practice

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT

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

Your teen will complete one in-person visit while they are less than 12 weeks of pregnancy.

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