The Asthma and Asthma Medications in Pregnancy Study - A VAMPSS project

     The Asthma and Asthma Medications in Pregnancy Study - A VAMPSS project

The Asthma and Asthma Medications in Pregnancy study is researching the effects of short-acting and long-acting beta agonists used for the treatment of asthma in pregnancy.  If you have asthma and have used a medication for the treatment of asthma during pregnancy you may qualify for the study.  Participants will not be asked to take any medication as part of this study. OTIS is also enrolling controls for this study (women who do not have asthma and have not used a medication for the treatment of asthma during their pregnancy).
