Site recruitment for pregnancy outcomes research

[Guest guest]

The Migrant Clinicians Network (www.migrantclinician.org) is

partnering with researchers from the Battelle Centers

for Public Health Research and Evaluation (http://www.battelle.org/hhs/cphre/monitor.stm)

to seek funding for a study to investigate pregnancy outcomes for farmworker families. Areas of focus will be

pre-existing and gestational diabetes and exposure to agricultural

chemicals. We are recruiting health care organizations who are interested

in participating in such a project. Specific requirements are:

§

A patient population living or

working in an agricultural area that is largely Hispanic

§

Provision of comprehensive perinatal care, including care of complications such as

gestational diabetes, to at least 100 women per year

§

A genuine interest in helping to

contribute to the knowledge base related to this patient population.
