Looking For Female Research Study Participants

Looking For Female Participants For a Research Survey on Pregnancy, Exercise and High Altitude Exposure

Very little is known about the safety of travel and exercise at high altitude during pregnancy. Furthermore, although exercise is considered safe during pregnancy some activities, such as downhill skiing, are discouraged and many women modify their exercise regimes during pregnancy

We are conducting a research project to study what kind of exercise women participate in during pregnancy and whether they travel to high altitude during pregnancy. Our goal is to use the information obtained in the survey results to provide advice to physicians and their pregnant patients who want to travel to high elevations. If you are physically active and have been pregnant you may be able to provide useful information for our study, which is being run jointly through the University of Washington and the University of Colorado.

If you choose to participate, you will find a link to the anonymous on-line survey at the bottom of this email. The survey will take 15-20 minutes to complete and does not require you to provide any personal information.

Eligible participants are women who have completed a pregnancy and are physically active. You do not need to have been to high altitude during pregnancy to participate. If you are currently pregnant with your first pregnancy, please wait until after delivery to complete the survey.

Participation in this study is voluntary. You may decline to answer any question in the survey. All of the information you provide in the survey will remain anonymous. Although you will not benefit directly from this survey, we anticipate that information learned from the survey will help physicians and pregnant women who wish to travel and exercise at high altitude.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at linda.keyes@aya.yale.edu or aluks@u.washington.edu, although please be reminded that the confidentiality of emails cannot be guaranteed. We appreciate your time and effort in completing this survey and look forward to reviewing the information you provide.

We're still looking for survey participants and would greatly participate the help if you or someone you know is eligible to participate and is willing to do so.

We're still looking for a few more participants for the study described above. Thanks for the help!

I just completed it. Ignore the knuckle heads around here. I really appreciate that this is being studied.

My sister's a marathoner - due in June. Will you be finished looking for participants then?

Locker wrote:"Looking For Female Research Study Participants" Me too. EDITED: "Ignore the knuckle heads around here" Where? Show them to me and I'll take care of it. LOL!

Don't get me wrong, I love the knuckle heads around here, but they can scare off the tourists ;)
