- Answer the series of questions about your health, family, and pregnancy history after providing consent.
- Choose whether you would like to participate in other studies, respond to new questions, upload your medical records, or even provide a DNA sample for genetic research if you'd like.
- Connect with us - we will reach out to you via email once a year to ask that you provide a health update. This yearly update helps our research team better understand the long-term health effects of preeclampsia.
The information you provide will only be used by approved preeclampsia researchers who go through a rigorous vetting process.

About the Preeclampsia Registry
Why Representation Matters
The Preeclampsia Registry is steadfast in our resolve to reach underrepresented audiences and ensure that our Registry reflects the population of women that experience preeclampsia.
The people who volunteer for research studies are vital in preventing, detecting, and treating diseases like preeclampsia. A diverse research participation group ensures we understand how a particular treatment, prevention, or condition affects different kinds of people and nobody is left behind as advances are made.

Keep Updating Your Registry
The registry is a "living database" which means that it continues to grow and evolve as more patients participate and new research studies are launched. By returning to the Registry once a year to provide a health update, you are helping researchers to better understand the impact of preeclampsia several years after pregnancy. Here's a few ways you can jump in now!
