About the Seattle Mother-Infant COVID-19 Study
About the Seattle Mother-Infant COVID-19 Study
Between June 2020 - March 2021, researchers at the University of Washington recruited mothers infected with COVID-19 and their infants for a study of COVID-19 outcomes in families. Comparative data were also collected from mothers who tested negative for COVID-19 following suspected infection, and from breastfeeding mothers with no known COVID-19 exposures. The aims of this study were to examine maternal and infant outcomes following maternal infection
Maternal participants in the Seattle Mother-Infant COVID-19 (SMIC) Study were recruited from the Greater Seattle area; were at least 18 years old; and had an infant or child under 3 years of age. Mothers completed phone interviews and collected breast milk (as applicable) and finger-prick blood spots from themselves and their infants over two months for viral RNA and antibody testing
