NIMH Looking for Women in Greater DC Area for Important PPD Research
The National Institute of Mental Health needs women living in the greater Washington DC area (including Maryland and Virginia) to consider participation in PPD research to help determine the cause of PPD. I myself have participated in a research study with Emory University here in Atlanta, and I think it is so important to do it if you can in order to help all the women who come after us.
NIMH is currently conducting several studies of PPD, including assessment of the role of genetic factors in the vulnerability to experience PPD, the role of hormone levels or changes in hormone levels as a trigger for PPD, and the antidepressant efficacy of estradiol in PPD. Anyone interested in learning more about these studies should contact Linda Simpson St. Clair, M.S.N. at 301-496-9576.
I have attached a document below with specific info on each study. Please check it out and help if you can.
