Patient Partner Research Opportunity

Did you have to leave your local community to receive specialized prenatal care for a placental issue? We want to hear from you!

Did you receive specialized prenatal care outside of your community for a placental issue?

Closed Recruitment

Health Areas

Public Health, Pregnancy and Childbirth, Other Women’s Health, Rural Health

Opportunity Purpose

We are currently studying a blood test called "Placental Growth Factor" (PlGF) to see if it can help determine if a pregnant individual at risk of placental problems needs to be relocated for medical care or if they can receive appropriate care close to home. Our research is in the early stages of development, and we are seeking patient advisors to assist us in shaping this research project.

Details

It's important to clarify that the role of a patient advisor is different from being a research participant. Your important contributions as an advisor would include: • Providing general feedback about what is important to patients in this research • Reviewing participant recruitment posters and scripts • Helping with the training of research personnel to recruit patients in this population • Making sure our research results are easy to understand for everyone, by reviewing summaries, reports, and presentations
