Hi everyone.
Can you help Amy Wagner find mothers for her study? Please share this link.
Thanks so much.

Dear breastfeeding mother,
My name is Amy Wagner, and I am a PhD student at Texas Woman’s University. I am conducting a research study examining breastfeeding mothers’ experience of body pain or discomfort while breastfeeding. You are eligible to participate if you have breastfed any amount in the past 24 months, currently live in the US, are 6 weeks to 24 months postpartum, and are over 18 years of age. We are hopeful that this research will allow us to better understand pain or discomfort mothers may experience related to breastfeeding.
Your responses to the online survey are anonymous. The survey does not collect identifying information and all responses will be kept confidential. Your participation is completely voluntary. You may quit the survey at any time. The survey should take about 20 minutes.
If you would like to participate in this survey, please click on the link below:

At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you would like to participate in an interview that will take up to an hour at a later date. Participating in this interview is voluntary.
If you have any questions about this study, please contact the principal investigator, Amy Wagner by email ([email protected]) or phone (210-863-8571) . Please note there is a potential risk of loss of confidentiality in all email, downloading and internet transactions.
Thank you for considering participating in this research.
