MyPaTH Story Booth: Maternal Health Challenges

STUDY BASICS

Interested in sharing your story? Have you or someone you care for experienced serious physical or mental health complications related to pregnancy or childbirth? This research study hopes to use these stories to shed light on the challenges people have faced as well as how care and support can be improved. Using MyPaTH Story Booth, patients can record a conversation to share with researchers.

STUDY PURPOSE

The University of Pittsburgh and their collaborators are conducting a research study and would like to hear stories from women, families, and friends on experiences over the past 10 years. We hope to use these stories to shed light on the challenges people have faced as well as how care and support can be improved. Using MyPaTH Story Booth, patients can record a conversation to share with researchers. Let them know what it's like to live with your health issue, what you would like health care professionals to know when they care for someone with a diagnosis like yours, or how the health care system could have improved your experience among other topics.
