**Research opportunity to help get answers about pregnancy and COVID-19**
The ASPIRE (Assessing the Safety of Pregnancy in the Coronavirus Pandemic) study is spearheaded by Drs. Marcelle Cedars, Heather Huddleston and Eleni Jaswa at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Due to the short timeline since appearance of SARS-CoV-2 and its associated illness COVID-19, no data is available to clarify whether there are risks associated with this new virus, particularly for exposures in early pregnancy. This study is being done to help understand the spread of COVID-19 infection among pregnant women and how infection might affect the health and wellbeing of pregnant mothers and their babies.
You may be able to join this study if
- You are over age 18
- You are 4-10 weeks pregnant (gestation)
- You have not received any dose of a COVID vaccine prior to your first missed period
Patient enrollment in the study is self-directed and voluntary. You can participate by registering here: ASPIRE Registration
