Are you a student who is also a mother of a young child? You are invited to participate in the Books and Babies Study at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. This study explores how student mothers balance academic responsibilities and childcare. Participation begins with a brief 3–5 minute survey. If eligible, you may be invited to complete a 45-minute interview. Participants who complete the interview will receive a $25 e-gift card. Take the survey here:https://utk.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1BlAAe1OzhOP2uy Or scan the QR code in the flyer to take the study. Your experiences are valuable and will help inform better support for student mothers. If you have questions regarding the study you can reach me via email at udavid@vols.utk.edu

We have temporarily re-opened this survey, and would like to hear from just a few more moms of babies who experienced issues with one or more tethered oral tissues!
We are especially looking for input from moms who decided NOT to have the tissue(s) clipped (or lasered). With your feedback, we can finalize our questions and then roll out our full survey!

And feel free to share! Just remember, if you are not eligible for this project, we will have lots more opportunities in the future :) Thanks
