In a collaborative effort with the University at Buffalo, we are inviting pregnant women and mothers of infants 6 months and younger to participate in the COPE Study - which stands for COVID-19 and Perinatal Experiences. This research study is entirely remote, much like all aspects of life right now in New York, and requires the completion of online surveys.
