Take part in research

Sometimes we are asked to share research opportunities with families. Sometimes we seek input from bereaved families, and sometimes from new and expectant parents or carers. Your input helps us work with researchers to keep babies safe, and keep grieving families supported.

Projects that families can take part in

We would only promote research studies to families if we believe they are relevant to our work and have the potential to increase our understanding, change or save lives. Though we may have funded these projects, we are not involved in running the projects, so any questions you may have should be directed by the projects themselves.

This study wants to capture information on how health, diet, physical activity, and sleep change during early parenthood in order to better support parents.

Participants will be given up to £90 in e-vouchers for participating in up to two interviews.
