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.

Parental bereavement and couple relationships

This research, based at the University of Porto, Portugal, invites mothers and fathers who have experienced the loss of a child to participate in a study exploring the challenges and transformations in couple relationships following this loss. The team conducting the research aim to better understand these experiences to inform more sensitive and suitable support for grieving couples.

You can take part if you:

Are married or in a cohabiting relationship; both partners will need to participate.

What will it involve?

Completing a confidential and voluntary online questionnaire, which takes approximately 30 minutes.
