Our Hub

Our research team was formed with the purpose of evaluating the experiences of pregnant and postpartum women in the Richmond, Virginia area and surrounding regions during and beyond the COVID-19 outbreak. As experts in biobehavioral nursing research, resilience, trauma, biostatistics, and women's health, we are committed to understanding the impact of this pandemic on the health and well-being of women and their families. We are currently enrolling women to participate in a study about women's experiences. Read more here:   https://www.vcuhealth.org/news-center/news-story?&news=1670

Currently funded by the VCU School of Nursing Internal Grant Program

Future Research

Soon, we will be enrolling parents and their young children into a longitudinal research study aimed at better understanding the experiences of families during this global pandemic. As collaborators with the COPE research initiative, we hope to capture the shared experiences of the COVID-Generation (COVGEN) population and foster connection and resiliency as members of a rising global community.
