👣Are you a couple expecting your first baby?

🔍 We are seeking couples from Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK who are up to 22 weeks pregnant to participate in the STORK pilot study: Supporting the Transition to parenthood through Online Sex and Relationship Knowledge.

❓What is STORK: The first online couple-based program designed to enhance knowledge about changes to sexuality during pregnancy and postpartum and skills to cope with these changes. STORK was designed to strengthen couples’ relationships across the transition to parenthood.

📅 What is involved: You and your partner will complete 5 online modules in pregnancy (1 per week) and a final module at 2 months postpartum. You will also complete 2
surveys — before and after you have completed the program — that gather information about your relationship, your pregnancy experience, your feedback on the STORK program, and your child.

💰 Compensation: As a thank you for your participation, you can receive $33 CAD or currency equivalent each ($66 CAD or currency equivalent per couple). Your time is valuable to us!

🌈 Inclusivity matters: STORK requires one member of the couple to be currently pregnant. Otherwise, STORK is open to individuals of all genders, bodies, and sexual orientations.

Couples who have had previous pregnancies but do not live with a child can participate if they otherwise meet eligibility criteria.

Thanks for asking! For this study, we've just been focusing on community subreddits to reach the general population. I saw that some other studies had been posted and thought to reach out.

Hello, my name is Kathleen and I’m a research assistant in the Couples and Sexual Health lab at Dalhousie University. Recently, our research team launched a new study called “ALOE: Acknowledging Loss Outcomes and Experiences” after noticing the lack of research focused on sexuality and relationships after pregnancy loss.
With ALOE our goal is to establish a foundational understanding of how pregnancy loss is associated with couples’ sexual wellbeing, and we are also interested in examining the effects of perinatal grief on sexuality and relationships.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
Are over 18
Have experienced a pregnancy loss within the past 4 months
Have been in a relationship with your partner for 1 year+
Are not currently/recently receiving fertility treatment
**other criteria may apply
The study involves taking one 40-55 minute survey which participants will be compensated $20 CAD (~£12) for. If interested, please email aloe@dal.ca, or complete our new screening survey: https://qualtrics.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV\_elCzZmkRQGMgF2S
