You guys may have heard of this already, but I've had several emails asking me to get the word out:
=========================
Kindly see the attached flyer inviting mothers who have induced lactation to participate in a web-based study that will give them the opportunity to share their experience. This is the first time anyone has looked at this population in over 30 years.
Please pass on this information to anyone you feel would be interested.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Regards,
Jack Newman, MD, FRCPC

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR
RESEARCH IN INDUCED LACTATION
I am looking for volunteers to take part in a study of the
Assessment of the Experience of Women Who Induced Lactation - A Survey
The study is being conducted by Lenore Goldfarb, B. Comm., B. Sc., Dip. C., IBCLC, for my doctoral research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Arts and Sciences and a Specialization in Human Lactation and Reproductive Counseling at the Union Institute and University.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the practices and outcomes of women who followed a protocol or procedure to induce lactation to provide breastmilk to their baby and the experiences they have had.
As a participant in this study, you would be asked to participate in an internet-based survey. Questions will focus on your own intentions around and experiences with following a protocol or procedure to induce lactation.
This survey is for those who have induced lactation within the last three years. Your participation would involve one session, of approximately 60 minutes.
Your participation in the survey is totally voluntary and you are able to stop participating at any time.
For more information about this study, or to volunteer for this study, please contact:
