The time has come: I'm seeking participants for my research project The Cost of Human Milk ๐
The project aims to gather the experiences of people who participate in human milk sharing practices and discover how these stories can provide insight on the value of human milk, bringing awareness to milk donation and #milksharingpractices. Milk sharing practices includes all forms of donation and sharing: donation to #milkbanks, sharing in-person or online, and receiving whether facilitated by a hospital, #online or through a local community.
I am seeking interview participants who:
- are aged 18 and over;
- engaged in milk sharing practices between 2018 and 2023;
- were living in Australia at the time of engaging in these milk sharing practices. This study focuses on experiences in #Australia, but participants do not need to be Australian citizens.
The interviews will be conducted on Zoom and will last approx. 45-60mins.
All parenting relationships and experiences are invited to participate in the study. This study recognises, respects and welcomes participation from women, men, trans, non-binary, and genderqueer people.
If you know someone who may be interested, please feel free to share this post and attached flyer.
Anyone who is interested in signing up as an interview participant or would like more information can use this LINK: tinyURL.com/milksharingresearch
and I will respond directly.
I will be sharing more information including a website with the participant information sheet, but please reach out for a chat if you are interested in learning more.
This research project has been approved by the University of the Sunshine Coastโs Human Ethics Committee, approval number S231877.
