About this study

Official title: The Impact of 3D Ultrasound on Maternal-Fetal Attachment Among African American Women

To determine whether 3D models of fetus' face created from 3D ultrasound will increase maternal and paternal attachment, lower stress, anxiety and depression and have improved life-style choices during pregnancy in African-American women.One-third of participants will receive 3D model and complete questionnaires, one-third will receive a picture of 3D ultrasound of their baby and complete questionnaires, and one-third will only complete the questionnaires

Being tested
3D printed model, Placebo

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS)

    The MAAS is a 19 item questionnaire measuring maternal-fetal attachment. Each item has five answer choices scored from 1 low attachment to 5 high attachment such that the total score ranges from 19 to 95. The measure also includes two subscales: (1) Quality of Attachment has 10 items with a range of 10-50 and measures the quality of the mother's attachment to her fetus.

    (2) Time measures the time spent in attachment mode (or intensity of preoccupation) and consists of 8 items for a range of 8 to 40. (for clarity one item included in the total score is not included in either subscale.)

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. Maternal Anxiety

    7-question Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire (GAD-7) will be administered

    Measured: 3 minutes

  3. Maternal Depression

    9-question Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) will be administered

    Measured: 3 minutes

  4. Maternal Stress

    11-question Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised (PRAQ-R2) will be administered.

    Measured: 3 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D printed model in people with Maternal-Fetal Relations and Maternal Behavior, run by Creighton University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Megan Kalata, MD, MPH (402-343-8511, megankalata@creighton.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS) (time frame: 5 minutes). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Mar 2022.
