Collecting Breast Milk Samples for Future Research
Research Question:
We will collect breast milk samples for future research; and can we further characterize
allergies/immunity and COVID-19/Coronavirus in breast milk?
Basic Study Information
Purpose:
When some research ideas are initially formed, they need to be tested on small amounts
of human breast milk before moving on to large studies. This study will collect a
one-time breast milk sample and questionnaire from each participant for that purpose.
Participants will be compensated $5 per breast milk sample (up to 4 samples). Additionally,
this study will collect multiple breast milk samples from two different groups of
mothers who can collect samples at home. The first group will help us learn more about
food allergies by collecting samples before a meal and 1, 2, 6, and 24 hours after
a meal containing one egg, one cup of milk, or a small handful of peanuts. If a woman
is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, they may join a different group that will provide
samples over time to help us learn how long the virus is present in breast milk.
