Preeclampsia during pregnancy and the long-term prevention of chronic disease in affected women

Introduction

Research Area:

Chronic Disease Management/ Maternal health/ women's health

What is the research about?

We are interested in understanding women’s experiences of preeclampsia during pregnancy, and how they were followed up in the Irish healthcare system (either in the community or in hospital) after giving birth. Women who have experienced preeclampsia may benefit from preventive healthcare in the years and decades following pregnancy, but little is known about how these women are being followed up, or whether they are provided with specific information on opportunities for disease prevention.
