[CarolineOsterwise]

Hello!

I am new to the forum, and would like to both introduce myself and ask for your assistance.

My name is Caroline Osterwise, and I am doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Throughout the past four years I have spent much time studying and researching issues related to women's psychological health and well-being. Specifically, I am dedicated to, and personally very interested in learning more about the psychological effects of childbirth on women.

I am currently recruiting participants for a research study examining if and how childbirth contributes to changes in female psychology, particularly as related to labor involving obstetric interventions (e.g. Cesarean sections).

If you, or anyone you know (please pass along!) is in her third trimester and would like to participate, please visit the following online website to take a brief (10-15 mins) survey. All responses are anonymous and confidential.

** If you are not yet in your third trimester, please visit the site as soon as you are. The study will be running for several months.

Please pass along to other women as well. The more the merrier!

Your help is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU in advance!

Any questions or comments - feel free to contact me at costerwise@gmail.com

Thank you very much!

Caroline Osterwise, M.A.
