Biobank consent process

During August and September 2026, our Recruitment and Clinical Protocols team will contact all women who volunteered to participate in the cohort entitled "Preconception Cohort and Women's Sample Repository for the Study of Molecular Markers of Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes."

The process will begin with a phone call from one of our team members. Afterwards, the informed consent form will be sent by email or WhatsApp for review. Volunteers will have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have, and once these have been addressed, the informed consent will be completed during a recorded phone call, in accordance with the approved study procedures.
