OUR RESEARCH
Infant Sounds Study - Couples

Are you having your first child?

Help us learn more about
parental responses to infant crying!

The Centre for Community Child Health Research is conducting a study of first-time, pre-term parents' responses to infant sounds. We are doing this research to try to better understand how new parents experience and respond to their baby's early communication.

What’s involved?

The study will take place either at a time that is convenient for you and at a location of your choice: Either in the comfort of your own home or at BC Women's Health Centre. This one time session will take approximately 90 minutes. You and your partner will be asked to complete questionnaires before and after listening to an audio recording of an infant crying. While you are listening to the infant crying recording, you will be asked to record how you are feeling.

In appreciation of your time and effort, you will both receive parent educational materials (a DVD and brochure) and a Starbucks drink card.
