MOMSonLINE2 ; A Pilot Study Testing Recruitment and Retention of Women of Color to an Online Support Group for Bereaved Mothers
United States22 participantsStarted 2020-11-20
Plain-language summary
This is a 6-week pilot study to see how research participants feel about an internet support site after a stillbirth or infant death. Losing a baby through stillbirth or early infant death is typically devastating for families. However, investigators do not know if internet on-line support for parents helps manage grief more easily.
In addition to using the BabyCenter.com website, participants will be asked to complete online surveys at the beginning and the end of the study, as well partake in an interview.
Data from this pilot study will help develop a much larger randomized control study of on-line support outcomes after perinatal loss.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
