The IPL Collaborative is a group of researchers interested in creating meaningful dialogue about the psychosocial impact of pregnancy loss through research, advocacy, and storytelling. It was started by three social science faculty members and friends who have all experienced their own involuntary pregnancy losses and wanted to transition their experiences into something positive.
One of the issues we see is the difficulty people outside of academia experience when trying to find scientific research and reliable information about miscarriage and pregnancy loss. Living through miscarriage can be a scary, emotion-filled experience. Having access to quality information may help ease the burden of the experience.
