Caring for Someone Else?  Caring for Others Starts With Caring for Yourself.  Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia is important work—but it can also be stressful and exhausting.  Many caregivers, especially African Americans, put their own health last.  As a caregiver, you deserve care, too. Our study is about supporting caregivers by helping them build a simple, at-home exercise routine right from home to improve their health and well-being.Exercise can help reduce stress, improve mood, and increase energy. This study offers free exercise equipment and virtual support to help caregivers get started and stay active. 

Why is this study being done?This research study is being done to improve outcomes in mothers who have taken opioids during pregnancy and their newborn babies. We want to learn more about how the placenta functions and how the fetal brain develops when exposed to opioids.  We also want to learn if there are any long-term effects on newborn babies, compared to babies whose mothers did not take opioids during pregnancy. We want to follow mothers and babies over approximately one year to look at genetic, social, environmental, and psychological reasons that affect mothers who take opioids and their babies.     Who can take part?Women who are 16-32 weeks pregnant and/or have been referred by the pregnancy . We are interested in following participants from pregnancy through the child’s 1st year of life.  . Additional informationStudy title:  Multimodal Fetal and Placental Imaging and Biomarkers of Clinical Outcomes in Opioid Use DisorderThe study is being conducted by Dr. David Haas, MD, with the Indiana University School of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Riley Hospital for Children.
