Postpartum 24/7 Study- Recruiting Soon!

We plan to reopen enrollment this fall! If you are pregnant and plan to deliver after August 2026, feel free to reach out to see if you qualify!

Description

Postpartum 24/7 is an extension of our Pregnancy 24/7 Study. In this study, we will examine 24-hour behavioral patterns (sedentary behavior, sleep, and physical activity) at 6 weeks, 3, 6, and 12 months postpartum. We will assess whether these behavioral patterns are related to hypertension risk and other indicators of cardiovascular health. The goal of this work is to identify optimal behavioral patterns during the postpartum period to reduce women's future risk of cardiovascular disease.

Participation in this study is voluntary, and you are free to discontinue at any time.
