CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - STILLBIRTHS INFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE

Dear colleague,

Individuals and communities perceive stillbirths differently, but information is extremely scarce on how this affects care and prevention priorities. This is a “rapid response” questionnaire and will feed into a journal series to address the global challenges of stillbirth.

We are asking you to do two things:

1)       Please respond to the online questionnaire, before March  30,  to give your perspective on stillbirths – pilots have used less than 5 minutes to respond. Please click here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LNCMHR2   Please note that once you have opened the questionnaire, you will be able to navigate back and forth, but not to exit and return from the same computer.

 

2)     Please forward this email to your contacts in public health, clinical care or parental groups with interests in maternal, fetal, neonatal or child health.

a.       Please consider the groups described in the first question of the questionnaire as the primary respondents.

b.       Rather than very large numbers of responders from the same community and profession, please prioritize contacting respondents with different community/country and professional perspectives.

Your contribution will be very much appreciated.
