WHAT IS THE TULIP STUDY ABOUT?
WHAT IS THE TULIP STUDY ABOUT?
This research study seeks to understand how daily positive emotions (such as joy, gratitude, and pride) and experiences of social support in daily life influence psychological and physiological experiences of stress during pregnancy. To advance this knowledge, we will use mobile health technology, including smartphone apps and wearable biosensors, to track daily life emotions, experiences, and physiology during pregnancy.

WHO PARTICIPATED? WHAT DID PARTICIPATION INVOLVE?
Participants were eligible for the study if they were: (1) Pregnant for the first time, (2) 18-34 years of age or older, (3) Less than 32 weeks pregnant, and (4) Currently using a personal smartphone.
Participants completed 2 study visits at the CSUDH campus (Carson, CA) and 8 days of answering daily surveys using a smartphone app. They also wore a wristband device (similar to a 'smart watch') for 8 days to monitor their heart rate and physical activity.
ARE YOU ENROLLING NEW PARTICIPANTS?
ARE YOU ENROLLING NEW PARTICIPANTS?
No, we have completed enrollment for this pregnancy study, but participants who previously completed the TULIP study are eligible for the BLOSSOM follow-up study when your child is an infant (6-12months) and toddler (18-24 months old). See below for more information!
If you are currently pregnant, check out the "NEST Study" for new opportunities to participate in pregnancy research!
BLOSSOM Follow-up Study
(Building Loving and Supportive Systems for Our Mothers)
If you participated in the TULIP study, you may already be hearing from us about BLOSSOM! One of our main goals with this follow-up study is to stay connected with you through the first two years of birth. We want to better understand what helps support parent mental health as they navigate parenthood for the first time, and what supports healthy development for their little ones in those early years.
You will receive $100 for completing both surveys ($50 per survey)
We are still actively enrolling participants for this follow-up study! If you are a previous TULIP participant and think you may be eligible but haven't heard from us, please don't hesitate to text or call our BLOSSOM study coordinator at (562) 704-6019 or email us at perchlab.csudh@gmail.com
