MOMS (Maternal Observations and Memories of Stillbirth)
is a study to increase our scientific knowledge of stillbirth in order
to reduce the numbers worldwide. MOMS is being conducted by an international
group of
highly renowned researchers. Both women who have experienced stillbirths
and those who have experienced a live birth are invited to report their
experience through an on-line questionnaire. The study is completely
confidential and takes an average of 35 minutes to complete if you
have experienced stillbirth, 20 minutes if you are reporting a live
birth.

User name:
Those who have experienced a stillbirth are asked to consider recruiting
a "personal control". This would be a friend,
colleague or family member who gave birth to a live born baby approximately the
same time as their stillbirth (give or take a couple of years). This
comparison (personal control) is important to identify why some pregnancies
end in stillbirth while most result in live births.
The personal control will fill in a similar questionnaire
(but shorter), and is not asked any questions about the
person referring them, other than, how they know each other. The
personal control will use the same username as the
person referring her to the study. The control
will not have access to the referring person's responses.
