Hello,
I am posting in this forum (in addition to my research topic post) because I believe it is really important for adoptive parents to be better represented in research about parenting issues. So, I just wanted to let the adoptive parents on Mumsnet know - I would particularly value your participation in my brief, anonymous, online questionnaire study for parents, if you would like to take part!
What's the study about?
This study is about the experience of being an adoptive parent, and how this relates to children's characteristics. It aims to further understanding of the factors which effect stress in adoptive parents, to help psychologists to develop better ways of helping adoptive parents who are suffering from stress.
What would I have to do?
It involves answering a secure, online questionnaires about you and your adoptive child, and your experience of parenting him or her. This will take about 20-25 minutes. Your responses will be anonymous and confidential. At the end of the questionnaire, you will have the opportunity to enter your email address into a random prize draw to win a £100, £50 or £20 voucher of your choice.
Who is doing this research?
This study is part of a doctoral thesis being conducted by Jayne Harris-Waller, a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at the University of Oxford. The research is being supervised by qualified psychologists and has been approved by the University research ethics committee.
If you have any further questions about the study, and you would like to discuss them before deciding whether to take part, you are welcome to email: [email protected].
