NCT ID NCT07551934
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This observational study will survey over 300 Ukrainian women to understand how war influences their decisions about pregnancy and childbirth, and their mental health during the perinatal period. Participants will complete questionnaires about their well-being, reproductive choices, and experiences of war. The goal is to build a model that explains the factors affecting reproductive behavior and mental health in wartime.
