What this research studies
This project aims to understand how different women experience fertility treatments and what their health outcomes are after having a baby. Researchers will look at existing health records from Massachusetts to compare mothers and babies who used fertility treatments with those who didn't. They will also explore how personal, healthcare, and community factors might affect the health of mothers and babies after fertility treatment. The goal is to identify differences in health outcomes and understand why they occur, focusing on maternal and infant health through the first year of life.
