Safe Sleep Education Study for Moms

FYI!

***************************************************

Hello, 

I am a doctoral candidate at UMBC in the Psychology Dept. and wanted to contact you about a study that I am conducting that is a part of my dissertation. I'm looking to speak to parents of young children and any expectant parents. As your organization provides so many great services to mothers on campus, I thought I'd reach out to you to see if I could possibly come to speak to any mothers who attend your center. 

What I am looking to do is show the parents or any expectant parents a 10-min video I created about safe sleep and tummy time recommendations for infants. I am trying to determine if the video is an effective educational tool and what the parents think about the video. I would have the parents complete a "test" before the video and then another one after the video to see if the video improves their knowledge about safe sleep and tummy time. I would need about 45 minutes with the moms. 

I also have funding to provide all participants with a $10 gift card to Target and some light refreshments. 

Please let me know if it would be possible to come speak to any mothers or expectant mothers, and if you have any questions. Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you!
