The UNLV Maternal Health Lab is currently recruiting participants for a study on pregnancy hormones, mood, and memory. The purpose of the study is to identify early markers of postpartum depression.
To be eligible, individuals must meet the following requirements:
- Between the ages of 21 and 40
- Approximately 32 weeks pregnant with first child
- Not currently taking prescribed medication
- No history of substance abuse or neurological disorders
The study, conducted at either the Maternal Health Lab at UNLV or the individual's home, involves psychologically assessing women at 37 weeks of pregnancy and within the first ten days after birth. Each session generally lasts about an hour.
For more information or to volunteer, contact Chandler Marrs of the Maternal Health lab at 895-0547.
