The Young Mothers Health Study is currently recruiting participants.
We are looking for women to answer questionnaires for a research study on mood, feelings, and health service usage.
We would like to ask participants some questions about their mood, feelings and how they have used the health care system. Questions and answers are straightforward (yes/no, numbers, etc.).
The interview takes approximately 1 hour. Depending on the location, an interviewer can arrange to meet participants or the interview can be conducted over the telephone. The interviews can be done at almost any time, depending on the participant’s schedule. As a thank-you for participating, gift cards to Wal-Mart are provided ($45 for young mothers 15-20, $20 for the other groups).
