Maternity Leave and Working Moms

[miashana]

Hi everyone,

I am a mom to an almost one year old and am finishing my Masters in Public Health.
I am doing research on maternity leave and sources of support for working moms.
I know everyone is very busy but if you have a minute please take the time
to fill out this brief anonymous survey about your experiences. Let me know if you have
any questions (miashana at gmail dot com) Thank you very much in advance!!

Hi! Just wanted to say I filled out your questionnaire!

Will definitely fill it out at home tonight (paranoid about filling it out at work even though I have nice things to say!)

Hi there! I completed it. One quick comment about your instrument. . .on the question "How many children," it is not possible to record an answer of "expecting." That might be useful information for you.

Good luck!

I'm a soon-to-be new mom with an MPH and I think this is a great topic to study. Good luck!

Just filled it out - I also am in the field of public health and got my master's - great career choice!

Please come back and post any interesting findings or your final paper. Would love to see what you found.

Just took the quiz. Interesting stuff. I would recommend that in future studies you flesh out the "partner" questions, in particular whether partner is child's father, and whether partner or co-parent is a same-sex partner or not.

Breast feeding questions also seem to apply to bio parents only, not adoptive parents.

Just FYI my company doesn't give paid maternity leave for adoption. They consider the leave sick leave for recovery from giving birth, not for caring for the child.
