Investigating mothers experiences of retaining weight after pregnancy

Are you the mum of a baby aged between 4 and 12 months? If so, you are invited to complete a confidential anonymous questionnaire regarding the factors which may impact on weight retention following child birth (for example, child temperament, eating, physical activity, mood, anxiety, stress, sleep and social support). Questionnaires take approximately 45 minutes to complete, and will be sent to you with a reply paid envelope to return it after you have completed it. The results of this study will aid the development of health promotion campaigns, support and information for women regarding these factors.

This project is being conducted through RMIT University and the Parenting Research Centre by Sarah Connor as part of a Master of Psychology Degree, under the supervision of Dr. Leah Brennan and Associate Professor Jan Matthews. This project has ethics approval through RMIT University Human Research Ethics Committee.
