Other HER Foundation Surveys and Polls

Although hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) affects thousands of women annually, few research studies are published annually in comparison to other disorders. We collaborate with experts on research related to HG, as well as conduct semi-annual, online surveys and polls to further our understanding of HG and its treatment. Our Internet research allows us to capture data from around the globe on much larger numbers of participants. Most studies done on HG have less than 200 participants, are not controlled or randomized, and/or may not have enough evidence to support conclusions. Our studies often have over 1000 participants with HG, and we are able work with international experts on HG.

In short, too often HG studies do not meet current research standards. Thus, we aim to conduct and fund research that accurately defines the incidence, outcomes and proactive management of HG to help women get the care they and their unborn child need to survive. We accept donations to sponsor research grants.
