Women's Reproductive Choices and Mental Health During Pregnancy and After Birth in Wartime Ukraine
Ukraine328 participantsStarted 2026-06
Plain-language summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn how war affects reproductive decisions and perinatal mental health in Ukrainian women.
The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) how are wartime stress and trauma related to women's decisions about pregnancy and childbirth?; (2) what mental health symptoms and psychological difficulties are experienced during the perinatal period under wartime conditions? (3) which demographic, obstetric, and psychological factors are linked to poorer mental health and childbirth experiences?
Researchers will survey at least 300 women.
Participants will: (1) complete questionnaires about their mental health and psychological well-being; (2) answer questions about their reproductive choices, pregnancy, and/or childbirth experiences; (3) report on the impact of war, social support, maternal care, and postpartum trauma; (4) provide demographic and obstetric information.
The findings will be used to develop an evidence-based model of the factors influencing reproductive behavior and perinatal mental health during war.

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.
