Do you have a toddler
ages 12-18 months?
You and your partner may be eligible for a research study!
Researchers at the University of Georgia are interested in learning more
about parenting expectations among first-time parents, and how they
affect parents' well-being and relationships.
Participants should:
- Be co-parenting their first biological child, ages 12-18 months;
- Live together in the Athens area or surrounding communities;
- Not have parented any other children including stepchildren
Participation for you and your partner involves a one-hour online survey
and a one-hour study visit, which includes an observation session of both
of you with your child, and a small blood sample from both parents.
Participating couples will receive up to $100 for completing the study.
The study will be conducted at the Clinical and Translational Research
Unit on the UGA Health Sciences Campus. The Principal Investigator is
Dr. Anne Shaffer.
For more information, call 706-713-2721 or
