OHSU Center M Randomized Trial
Why is this study being done?
We want to understand if virtual group sessions during pregnancy can improve well-being and reduce stress during pregnancy and postpartum. Our study includes the potential to engage in a facilitated group for pregnant people and collects information on stress and well-being during pregnancy and postpartum.
