What is the purpose of this study?
The goal of the PEARS study is to better understand the emotional experiences, coping and resilience resources, and mental health intervention preferences of individuals with histories of perinatal suicidality.
Ultimately, we want to use this information to develop a new intervention to prevent perinatal suicidality.
Who may participate in this study?
Individuals are eligible to participate if they are 18 years or older, have experienced perinatal suicidality (e.g., suicidal thoughts, behaviors, attempts) within the past 6-36 months, and are fluent in English.
What does participation involve?
Participation in this survey consists of a 20-30 minute online survey.
Individuals who complete the survey are also invited to participate in an individual interview with our research staff to share more details about their experiences. These interviews may occur virtually or in-person in Washington, DC.
Are participants compensated?
Upon survey completion, participants may enter their email address into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card.
Participants will be paid $40 for their completion of the individual interview. We can also reimburse up to $20 for transportation if the interview is completed in-person.
