About Us
Premature or preterm birth (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) affects approximately 8% of births in Canada impacting children and families.
The goal of the P3 cohort study is to:
+ Predict which women will deliver preterm;
+ Provide opportunities to prevent preterm birth;
+ Improve health outcomes for children who
are born preterm and their families; and
+ Help families cope following the birth of a preterm child
Recruitment for the P3 Cohort occurred over a 4-year period from September 2021 to Sept 2025.
