Placenta Accreta survivor survey
This study is now closed - thank you to the placenta accreta community for your participation in this important project.
In Spring of 2020, NAF launched below survey in collaboration with the National Maternity Hospital to assess quality of life after placenta accreta. In March 2021 the resulting study “Quality of life and sexual function after a pregnancy complicated by placenta accreta spectrum” was published in an academic journal. Thank you to the 142 members of our patient community who added their stories to our storybank, had their voices heard and participated in this important project.
This study is now closed, although National Accreta Foundation gets calls for survivor input like this often. If you’d like to be notified for future calls like this, please add your story to our story bank via the button below.
who is hosting this survey?
