I am doing a Masters in Child Welfare and my thesis topic is based on teenage pregnancy (19 or under giving birth).

I am looking for anyone prepared to fill out a short questionnaire who has experience of teen pregnancy (whatever the outcome) Obviously the information will be anonymous.

Please post here or email me [email protected] if you would be wlling to help. Thankyou

I was 19 when I had ds1, he's 21 this year and I'm 35. How did that work out? Wink

Will email you!

This is my \link{http://www.thesistools.com/?qid=9824&ln=eng\questionnaire} I am very greateful for your support - it really is invaluable and your opinions will inform social service practice (in my region at least)

The link will ask you to give a name or email address to prevent anyone doing it more than once - your MN nickname will be fine.

As I said this is totally confidential.

Thanks again. xx

bump for rubymummy

i have just completed this, it only took 10 minutes and might make a difference to how teenage mums are treated in the future - well worth a bit of effort :)

Thanks so much ddfwb! Anyone else able to fill out questionnaire would be fantastic. Thanks!
