University of Cambridge researchers at Addenbrooke’s Hospital are looking for volunteers who are planning their first pregnancy, to take part in a new study focussing on pregnancy and women’s long-term health (the POPPY study).
The POPPY study aims to understand why some women develop pre-eclampsia and other placental complications and why these conditions have an adverse effect on women’s future heart health.
If you are aged 18-45 years and are planning your first pregnancy, you may be eligible to participate. We are also looking for similar aged volunteers who are not actively planning a pregnancy, for a control group.
Reimbursement is provided for time, inconvenience and travel.
To find out more, please visit the POPPY study website or contact the POPPY study team on cuh.poppy@nhs.net
