THE UNIVERSITY of Reading is seeking participants for a study into the relationship between diet and mental health during pregnancy.
The investigation is exploring the ways that diet, mental health, and cognition can all affect one another during the perinatal period.
The study is seeking participants in their second or third trimester (under 36 weeks), who will receive six visits from a researcher during the three months before giving birth and the three months after.
Researchers will conduct questionnaires, set cognitive tasks, and record blood pressure levels, as well as completing a personalised dietary assessment for each participant.
Those taking part will be financially compensated, and the study has been approved by the University of Reading’s School of Psychology Ethics Committee.
Those interested in participating can contact r.colombage@pgr.reading.ac.uk
