Seeking first-time expecting parents

Hello everyone, 

            I, Jeline Manganti, am currently a fourth-year student in the School of Early Childhood. In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Bachelor in Early Childhood Leadership, I am required to conduct a research project.  The study is entitled [Expecting Parents’ Knowledge Of Early Brain Development, 2018]            The purpose of the study is to examine first-time expecting parents’ knowledge of early brain development.

            I am presently seeking first-time expecting parents who are currently pregnant with their first child to participate in this study. A first-time expecting parent can be an individual who is currently pregnant, or has a partner who is pregnant. Your participation would consist of completing an on-line survey, which will take 10 minutes to complete. Your participation in this study will contribute to the advancement of developing and improving resources and information for parents on early brain development.

There are no known or anticipated risks or discomforts associated with participating in this study.  Your participation is completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to participate and if you do choose to participate, you may withdraw from the study at any time and/or refuse to answer any questions, without suffering any negative consequences. If in the course of completing the survey, you decide to no longer participate, you can withdraw by not submitting your survey.

 

The content of your answers will only be used together with all other participants' answers and will not be used or analyzed alone. The survey data collected will be kept in a secure manner. The data will be kept in the researcher’s computer under secured access in her office for a minimum of five years and up to 10 years. Only the researcher and her supervisor will have the password and access to the secured files. The supervisor will also have a copy of the data.

 

We appreciate your participation in the study, as your responses will help to support the growing body of literature on first-time expecting parents’ knowledge of early brain development. If you have any questions about the study, you may contact the researcher or her supervisor. It is recommended that you keep this page for future reference.

 

Thank you for your time.
