About this study

Official title: A Survey of Southampton Women's Survey Women's and Offspring's Health and Wellbeing During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdown.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges with implications for wellbeing and mental health. The Southampton Women's Survey provides the opportunity to understand influences on these important outcomes amongst women and their offspring in the context of an established longitudinal cohort study.

Read the detailed description

Between 1998 and 2002 the Southampton Women's Survey (SWS) team interviewed 12,583 Southampton women aged 20 to 34 years. The baseline survey collected data on women's diets, lifestyles, body and blood measures, reproductive health, education, mental health and social circumstances. Of these participants, 3,158 women subsequently became pregnant within the study period and delivered a liveborn singleton infant. The survey has followed up the offspring and mothers with home visits at six months, one, two and three years. A sample of over 1,000 offspring was seen at 4 years of age, more than 2,000 offspring were seen at ages 6-7 years, and more than 1,000 at 8-9 years. Follow-up of offspring aged 11-13 years is being completed and at 17-19 years is being piloted.

The women are currently aged 37 to 57 years and the offspring are currently aged 12 to 21 years.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unique challenges across the population. The effects include those of the threat of the virus itself as well as the impact of the government-imposed lockdown on health and wellbeing. Research in many contexts will allow greater understanding of the repercussions of this unprecedented event. The Southampton Women's Survey provides an opportunity to understand the effects of the lockdown on a well-characterised cohort of women and their adolescent/young adult offspring. The longitudinal data available in the cohort will provide a unique opportunity to understand how circumstances earlier in life (including pre-pregnancy) influence people's health and wellbeing during the pandemic.

Objectives:

  1. To collect individual level data relating to health and wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic amongst SWS women and their offspring.
  2. To assess whether lockdown-specific pressures such as working from home, home schooling and lack of social contact are associated with health and wellbeing during the pandemic.
  3. To use longitudinal data to understand how health and lifestyle in earlier life (including pre-pregnancy) are associated with health and wellbeing during the pandemic.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mental Health in women (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
