Official title
A Qualitative Study of Fish Consumption During Pregnancy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Many pregnant women in the US do not consume enough docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential nutrient found in fish. Apparently conflicting findings that fish consumption is beneficial for the developing fetus, yet potentially toxic because of mercury contamination, have created uncertainty about the appropriate fish consumption advice to provide pregnant women. The investigators objective was to determine knowledge, behaviors, and received advice regarding fish consumption among pregnant women who are infrequent consumers of fish.
