In Brief
A clinical study evaluating DHA and Sugar pill for Pregnancy and Child Development. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 168 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to test whether nutritional supplementation during pregnancy is associated with 1) improved maternal health during pregnancy; 2) improved infant birth and neurodevelopmental outcomes, and 3) whether the association between nutritional supplementation during pregnancy and infant outcomes is partially mediated by reductions in maternal perceived stress and stress reactivity during pregnancy.
