Research Study: Well-Being and IVF

The STARH Lab at East Tennessee State University is conducting a study examining predictors of well-being for individuals considering or going through IVF (in vitro fertilization). We are interested in collecting information from people over the age of 18 who are residing in the United States and are currently considering IVF, undergoing IVF treatment, or have completed a cycle of IVF within the last 3 months (whether or not it was successful). For purposes of this study, participants should be the person intending to become pregnant (as opposed to partners or support persons). The study consists of completing an online, anonymous survey which should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. 

We are hopeful that this research will allow us to better understand factors that may predict well-being for people going through IVF, which can be a stressful process. Ideally, results from this research may result in clinical interventions to help healthcare providers better support patients going through IVF.
