PAS Pregnancy Questionnaire

National Accreta Foundation has an opportunity for women currently pregnant where placenta accreta spectrum is suspected to participate in a two part questionnaire. Please only access the survey below if you are currently pregnant.

If you have already delivered and would like to be invited to future opportunities to contribute to academic research on the experience of placenta accreta spectrum, please add your accreta story to our storybank.

who is hosting this survey?

Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC)/Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA are gathering information on maternal-infant bonding during pregnancy and following delivery for women who have pregnancies affected by placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders. This research is led by Dr. Scott Shainker and Dr. Bridget Donovan who each have special interest and expertise caring for patients with PAS.

what is the intention?

To better understand the impact of a diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and subsequent delivery management on maternal-infant bonding, maternal mental health, and breastfeeding goals. Women who are currently carrying a pregnancy thought to be affected by placenta accreta spectrum disorders and who have not yet delivered are invited to participate.

HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?

National Accreta Foundation is proud to provide opportunities to the patient community to advance placenta accreta research. If you are a patient who is currently pregnant with a pregnancy thought to be affected by placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder, please access the survey via the button below. It will take around 25 minutes to complete this initial survey and can be done in multiple intervals.

Please note that this is a two part survey, participation will include a follow up survey after you deliver, typically to be completed around 4-6 weeks following your delivery. If you elect to participate, the link to this follow up survey will be emailed to you around this time. You will need to complete both surveys for your experience to be included.
