Promoting Healthy Brain Development: Wellness for 2 Study

The \"Promoting Healthy Brain Project\" (PHBP) is part of the Lurie Children\'s Hospital Strategic Research Initiative on Perinatal Origins of Childhood Disease: Research \& Prevention at the Maternal-Fetal Interface. The overall purpose of the PHBP is to test whether reducing maternal stress during pregnancy is associated with improved neurodevelopment in the first year of life. This will be tested via a randomized controlled trial (n = 100) of a technology and mindfulness enhanced prenatal stress-reduction intervention (Mothers and Babies; MB).
