Volunteers Needed to Provide Insight on Maternal Health in the Naugatuck Valley

Griffin Health and the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center are looking for Naugatuck Valley residents who are pregnant or have given birth in the past two years to share their experiences with maternal care in the community.

Participants will be asked to talk about their medical care during and after pregnancy to help identify any gaps in the local healthcare system in order to make birthing experiences safer and more supportive.

"Every pregnancy and birth experience matters, and your voice can help shape better care for our community," said Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center Research Associate Summaya Multany.

These listening sessions will be held throughout June and will be virtual (by phone or computer). Applicants must be Naugatuck Valley residents who are currently pregnant or have given birth in the past two years.

Participants will receive a $50 gift card.

To sign up or for more information, contact Multany at 203-732-1325 or summaya.multany@yalegriffinprc.org.
