Help Discover the Effects of Aspirin in Gestation and Reproduction
The University at Buffalo is conducting a research study of low dose aspirin and reproduction, called EAGeR. This study is for women who have had a previous pregnancy loss or miscarriage and want to get pregnant again. The study will try to determine if we can improve these women's chances of getting pregnant again and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. If you are 18-40 years of age, have had a pregnancy loss or miscarriage and want to get pregnant again, you may qualify for this very important study.
This study is funded be the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and has been approved by our Institutional Review Board. It is being conducted at four centers: Buffalo, NY; Scranton, PA; Salt Lake City, UT; and Denver, CO.

How Do Grandparents Incorporate the Existence of a Deceased Grandchild?
We are inviting grandparents whose grandchild died during pregnancy, delivery, or shortly after birth, to complete a survey. To be eligible, you need to be between the ages of 35-80, and able to read and write English.
If you have any questions regarding the survey, please contact Nina Bennett via e-mail.
For questions about your rights as a research participant, please contact the Christiana Care Institutional Review Board at (302) 428-4103.
Parental Participation in End-of-Life Care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
We are inviting parents who lost an infant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) following the withdrawal of life support/treatment to participate in an interview about your infant’s experiences during the dying process. By describing the care your infant experienced in the NICU, along with the observations you made of your infant, we will have more evidence to establish a standard of care for dying infants.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about
the study, please contact Dr. Deb Steward at 614-292-4978.
The Use of Ritual at the Time of a Pregnancy Loss
Current research has shown that offering parents a ceremony, service or ritual at the time of pregnancy loss helps parents with their grief. Yet many parents are left alone with minimal support when their baby dies, either through miscarriage, stillbirth or within the first weeks of life. The goal of this 10 minute questionnaire is to better understand what is helpful for parents who suddenly lose their baby.
A blog site has been established which gives background information about this research and allows parents to post comments after having completed the study. The blog site is located at: http://pregnancylosssurvey.blogspot.com/2010/05/miscarriage-perinatal-loss.html
