Dr. Nichole Fairbrother, assistant professor, Island Medical Program, University of British Columbia, and head of the Mother-Infant Wellness Lab is conducting a study to assess a new measure of fear of childbirth. Currently available measures of fear of childbirth do not focus exclusively on fears pertaining to childbirth, nor do they cover the full spectrum of concerns that pregnant women experience related to childbirth. We have developed a new measure of fear of childbirth to address the problems with existing measures. The study entitled: The Childbirth Expectation Survey is in the form of an online survey.
In an effort to recruit as representative a National sample as possible, we are seeking multiple locations across Canada to advertise the research. We are seeking to place a link to the survey on websites across Canada that cater to pregnant women. The study has received approval from the University of British Columbia's Behavioural Research Ethics Board.
