Missouri WIC is assisting researchers at Boston University, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of Virginia with a research study.

Baby Care Education and Research Study Opportunity

You may be eligible to receive a new educational program designed by healthcare experts to help you make decisions about caring for your baby.

You may be eligible to participate in one of the research studies if:

• You are at least 18 years old.
• You are currently pregnant and less than 30 weeks along.

What will happen if I choose to participate?

• You will receive free baby care educational videos and messages throughout your pregnancy and until your new baby is 6 months old.
• You will complete surveys and answer text message questions about how you plan to take care of your baby.
• You will receive up to $50 in gift cards as a thank-you for your time.

What is TodaysBaby?

• The TodaysBabyTM Programs contain up-to-date information on baby sleep, baby feeding, or baby-parent interactions.
• Participants receive baby care information in the form of short videos, delivered via private Facebook groups.
• Researchers are interested in learning which parts of the TodaysBabyTM programs are best at helping parents make the best decisions about caring for their baby.
