Diversity of representation in pregnancy research: A national mixed-methods survey of women's perceptions and experiences in the United Kingdom.

Aim: To explore the experiences and perceptions of women who may take part in antenatal research, including their perceived motivators, enablers, and barriers to participating in research with a sub-analysis of under-represented groups.

Methods: A mixed-methods parallel explanatory design was employed, and a national semi-structured online survey was circulated nationally using a start to end participatory framework. Likert scale responses and participant experience and demographic data were cross-tabulated to explore the differences between groups using descriptive and non-parametric statistics.
