Did you participate in our postpartum depression study? We are conducting a follow-up study with the children who were born during that study!
We want to know what factors influence children’s development and mental health, and are following up with these kids at the ages of 5 and 10, and beyond! Keep an eye on your inbox for more information if your child is approaching one of these ages. Thanks to all the moms and kids who have participated so far!
If you have any questions please contact Rolan at rolan.batallones@ubc.ca.
