This position will be funded to work on a study called B'More Healthy Brain and Child Development (B'More HBCD). As one of 25 sites across the country conducting this study, the B'more HBCD team will be a part of the Wendy Klag Center in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, with direct collaboration across the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Hospitals and Kennedy Krieger Institute. The study plans to recruit pregnant women and follow these women and their babies through age 10, with a focus on monitoring neurodevelopment. At least one-quarter of the women recruited will be active substance users (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, opioids, opioid agonists or stimulants) during pregnancy. Responsible recruitment and support for participants will require deep and authentic community relationships with organizations across the city of Baltimore and surrounding counties. It is imperative that the team work closely with the Baltimore community to ensure we can provide as much support and access to resources for enrolled families. We plan to offer referrals and supportive resources for enrolled women who may need assistance with housing, food, healthcare access, substance use treatment, and other needs. We are seeking a Research Program Assistant II (RPA II) who can utilize their rapport-building skills to assist in the recruitment, screening, consenting, and enrollment of women from the Johns Hopkins Hospital and other OB/GYN and L&D units, as well as other participants referred from other recruitment resources. Will also be trained to be a family manager who will do primary data collection as part of the prenatal visit, as well as biosample collection at the prenatal visit and delivery visit, sample processing (using a centrifuge, aliquoting, etc.), and other data collection tasks as needed. Effective communication and interpersonal skills are critical as the position involves significant interaction with patients.
