The Oxford Prenatal Project
The Oxford Prenatal Project was led by Dr Susannah Murphy and supported by a grant from the University of Oxford’s John Fell Fund.
The aim of the study was to investigate whether there are biases in the processing of infant-related stimuli that are associated with anxiety during pregnancy. Women were recruited into the study at the start of their second trimester of pregnancy and asked to complete a battery of tasks designed to assess psychological and hormonal responses to infant related cues, such as pictures and videos of distressed infants.
