Research Opportunity:  Provider perspectives and beliefs on the diaphragm

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is seeking providers with substantial experience with the diaphragm as part of a study of provider perspectives and beliefs about the method.  Participants will take part in a web-based conference call to discuss their attitudes, experiences, and concerns with the diaphragm.  Participants can take part in the discussion from their home/office and will receive an honorarium for their time (about 75 minutes).  This is also an opportunity for providers to connect to other providers with similar interests.  If interested in participating and/or you can inform other appropriate providers about this study, please contact Dr. Andrzej Kulczycki, Department of Maternal and Child Health, UAB at andrzej(at)uab.edu or (205)934-9875 for further information.  

New studies are being planned every day. Please send updates, additions, or amendments to info(at)cervicalbarriers.org.
