Hello Ladies!  I am looking for individuals interested in participating in a brief research study about risk factors associated with postpartum mental health.  All participants are required to be first time mothers, who are at least 18 years of age and have given birth in the last 4 weeks to 12 months.  This study is being conducted as part of a Clinical Research Project (commonly known as a Dissertation) and is a requirement of the researcher’s clinical psychology doctoral program.  This study has been certified by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) as of July 2011. 

Your participation is incredibly appreciated and has the potential to help further this field of study!  Thank you!

This poster received approval from Mothering administration to post this invitation.

I'm a researcher at a large research university. I've gotten approval for countless research studies in the past 10 years. I'm curious why the poster did not include (a) her name, (b) the name of her university, and (c) contact information for anyone who has questions about the study. This is standard information for any research study, even an online survey. The survey seems legit, but the absence of this information is  puzzling.

My apologies, all of that information is presented once you follow the survey link.    I assumed those that were interested would visit the website for further information.  Sorry for the oversight, I have inserted an addendum with this information for your (as well as others')  reference.

Thank you.
