Study Background

California State University, Dominguez Hills is looking for individuals to participate in a research study on pregnancy. The purpose of the Tracking your Life In Pregnancy (TULIP) study is to understand how daily positive emotions (like joy, gratitude) and social support affect mental health and stress in the body during pregnancy.

The study includes an initial visit at our study office at CSUDH (Carson, CA), followed by 8-days of answering daily surveys about emotions and daily life experiences using a smartphone app. During this time, participants will wear a wristband device (similar to a ‘smart watch’) that monitors heart rate and physiology.
