Are you currently pregnant? You may qualify for the MOMI Study!

At Ohio State, we are committed to providing the best possible care. We do research to find new and better ways to provide the best care to moms and infants. An example of this research is the MOMI Study, which is testing two different models of primary care during the year after childbirth.

YOU MAY QUALIFY if you’re currently pregnant – AND – you’ve ever had high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, or anxiety, including during pregnancy.

Click HERE to see if you qualify.

IF YOU PARTICIPATE, you’ll be randomly assigned to one of two models of primary care after childbirth and can choose from Ohio State locations and providers that deliver that model of care. Providers at all locations can help you manage your health. But the models differ in several ways, including how patients are scheduled, how healthcare providers communicate, how health histories inform care, and how referrals are made. We’ll assist you in scheduling your care and you’ll complete three study visits with surveys, several measurements, and blood and hair sampling. We’ll collect cord blood and review medical records. Together, all this information helps us understand your health and the health of your infant.

PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE up to $150 & several small gifts.
