More details
Where will the interviews happen?
In the comfort of your home, or in a private and quiet space of that you choose. If you need support finding a private location we can help!
When will the interviews happen?
We can schedule your interviews at days and times that are convenient for you. This can include weeknights or weekends, if needed.
How will the interviews work?
We will chat using the videoconferencing tool, Zoom. This will require you to have a computer or smart phone and reliable internet. If you need help accessing these things we can arrange something else.
I’m trying to become pregnant so can I still participate?
Absolutely! You only need to have used fertility services to be eligible for this study.
I don’t have a partner/spouse so can I still participate?
At this time, we are only enrolling romantic couples for this study. We hope to expand our scope in the future (with more funding) to include more expansive parenting structures, too!
I’m not sure if I’m eligible for this study. What should I do?
We encourage you to take the eligibility survey to determine if you may be able to participate during the study period.
