Allergies in the Family and Pregnant? UR Medicine/Golisano Children’s Hospital is conducting a new study!
February 7, 2018 11:35 am
Allergic diseases have dramatically increased in the last 20 years.
We want to find out why, and how to prevent them.
If you, your family or other child in your family has hayfever, allergies, asthma or eczema, you may qualify for our study. You need to be 18 years or older and pregnant.
This is a 2 year study for mothers and their infants collecting questionnaires and multiple samples (stool, saliva, etc.).
You will be reimbursed for your time and an allergy evaluation will be provided as appropriate.
Dr. Kirsi Jarvinen-Seppo in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Rochester is conducting this study and the study is being sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.
Please contact Barbara Johnson, RN Coordinator for more information.
