Are you a young mother? We are looking for first-time moms between 18 and 24 who are willing to answer a few questions in order to help mental health professionals better understand your experience of parenthood. The survey is completely confidential and anonymous – there will be no way for me or anyone else to link you to your answers. You can go directly to the survey by putting the following URL into your web browser:

If you know other mothers who you think would be interested in this study, please help get the word out by passing this information along to them. Also, if you prefer to answer these questions on paper, just let me know. We’ll be happy to send you a paper version of this survey with a stamped return-envelope. If you would like to request a paper copy, or if you have any other questions, please contact:

| Just curious about why you chose that age range? |

| That's a good question ... actually we chose this age range for the research because more children are born to mothers within this age range than any other, however there is very little research that does focus in on this range. That is, there is a lot of research on teen parents (those 19 and under), and there is research on mothers of all ages, but we felt that it was important to begin looking at what some of the differences or unique circumstances are of mothers that are adults according to the government, but are still so young, since so many women become mothers for the first time when they are within this age range. |
