DOCTORAL STUDY INTO INDUCED LACTATION



I'm hoping you can help us out with a doctoral study that is being conducted and for which I sit on the doctoral committee.
I have been asking my colleagues in the lactation world to please help get the word out that a study is up on the internet in the form of a web-based survey. We are 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.


We are trying to gather as many women who induced lactation as possible. It is not necessary for them to have followed a particular protocol and so all women who induced lactation and provided breastmilk to their infants are welcome to participate. It would be a privilege to include the stories of members of ABRW in the study and would help to balance the various perspectives of how women induce lactation and the experiences they have had in doing so.
The information is available via this link: http://www.inducedlactationsurvey.com
Please pass on this information to anyone you feel would be interested and ask anyone who wishes to participate to please contact us via the above site to obtain their unique ID and password to access the survey. These IDs and passwords are being issued to help ensure confidentiality.
The study has been reviewed by, and received ethics clearance through, the Institutional Review Board of the Union Institute and University as well as the Office of Research Ethics, University of Waterloo.
If you would be so kind as to post this information on your message board, that would be wonderful. Any assistance you can provide would be most appreciated.
Respectfully yours,
Jack Newman, MD, FRCPC, IBCLC
