Navigating Pregnancy & Parenthood With Lyme Disease

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a mixed methods study exploring the experiences of pregnancy and parenting among participants with Lyme disease. Eligible participants will have been diagnosed with Lyme disease (LD), post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), and/or chronic Lyme (CL) either during or before a prior pregnancy. Participants will complete quantitative surveys on topics such as their medical history, their child(ren)'s development, and demographic information. They will then participate in a qualitative interview where they will be asked about their experiences with pregnancy and with parenting their child(ren) in the context of their condition.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients with chronic conditions may experience the perinatal period and the experience of parenting differently than their healthy peers. The purpose of this study is to understand the lived experiences of pregnancy and parenting among gestational parents with Lyme disease. Participants may be included in this study if they report having received a diagnosis of Lyme disease (LD), post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS), or chronic Lyme (CL) and they have given birth to at least one liveborn child. The investigators hypothesize that patients with LD/PTLDS/CL will experience unique challenges related to pregnancy, experiences in medical care settings, and their child's development. Enrolled participants will complete a brief set of online quantitative questionnaires on topics such as their demographic characteristics, family information, Lyme disease histories, and mental health. The investigators will report on these data to illustrate similarities and differences between participants in the study for potentially relevant factors (e.g., timing of Lyme diagnosis relative to pregnancy, symptoms, mental health concerns). The questionnaires will be followed by an in-depth qualitative interview in English with each participant to learn about their experiences related to pregnancy and parenting with LD/PTLDS/CL, including specific questions about navigating the health care system, information seeking behaviors, and their child's development. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
