Abstract: With this submission, the NCS seeks OIRA clearance to perform a multi-center substudy, called the Stress and Cortisol Measurement Substudy, aimed at developing a validated questionnaire that will reflect specific physiological measures of stress. This substudy will develop a common, core protocol for determining the most reliable, acceptable, and cost-efficient approach for assessing maternal stress in the form of a brief questionnaire that correlates with more invasive and burdensome approaches to the measurement of biological and physiological measures of stress. Birth outcomes have been selected for this substudy because they represent priority outcomes for the NCS, and they will be available and can be collected within the study timeframe. Identification of a standardized, validated approach to evaluate exposure to psychosocial stress during pregnancy will facilitate the measurement of stress as a variable of interest in the NCS by providing an efficient, low-burden approach to stress measurement.
