Invitation to participate in UBC Childbirth Fear Study
Dear Consumers Supporting Midwifery Care,
Are you pregnant?
Help researchers in the UBC Department of Psychiatry learn more about women’s childbirth concerns! If you are pregnant and 18 years or older, you are eligible to participate.
Participation requires 1.0 to 1.5 hours of your time and involves an online survey and a brief telephone interview. You will be asked about your background, reproductive history, current pregnancy, mood, feelings about childbirth as well as any history of sexual abuse or trauma.
With this research, we will assess the validity of a new screening tool for fear of childbirth, and explore the relationship between fear of childbirth, and mental health, history of trauma and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. We hope to create educational materials using the study results.
