The CHAP Child study investigates the long-term neurodevelopment and growth of children born to mothers with mild chronic hypertension (CHTN) who received early antihypertensive therapy compared to those who received no treatment until severe hypertension occurred. The study's purpose is to address the knowledge gap regarding the safety of early treatment for maternal CHTN and its effects on the child, as well as to evaluate outcomes for children whose mothers had preeclampsia during pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions


We understand that deciding to join a clinical trial is a personal choice—and often one that comes with a lot of questions. Whether you're curious about how trials work, wondering about safety, or just want to know what to expect, you're in the right place.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests how new medical approaches work in people. It helps doctors find better ways to prevent, detect, or treat diseases.

Why should I consider participating?

By joining a clinical trial, you can gain access to new treatments before they’re widely available and help advance medical knowledge that could benefit others in the future.

Is it safe?

Clinical trials follow strict safety protocols and are closely monitored by medical professionals and regulatory agencies to protect participants. Your health and safety are a top priority.

Will I be paid?

Some clinical trials offer compensation for your time and travel. This varies depending on the study. Ask the research team for details.

Can I leave a study at any time?

Yes. Participation is completely voluntary, and you can withdraw at any point for any reason without penalty.

What happens if I have side effects?

All potential risks and side effects will be explained to you before the study begins. If you experience any issues, the study team will monitor and support you with appropriate care.

Will my personal information be kept private?
