I am an IBCLC who is pursuing doctoral studies in family and child development. My areas of interest are prepregnancy education and beliefs, transition to parenthood and the effects of labor and breastfeeding experiences. I have managed to convince my professors that prepregnancy attitudes of young women and men are interesting and useful areas of research. So... I have an opportunity to measure bfeeding attitudes via questionnaire, interview, etc. I lecture in a human sexuality class and have gotten some feel about the level of knowledge college students have regarding bfeeding. What I am asking for help in is what do you (as professionals) want to know? This is a fairly conservative, middle class population of students aged 19-24 from both urban and rural areas. I know that there has been research on prepregnancy beliefs but I believe that this may be an opportunity to develop some longitudinal studies and follow some of these students through their first pregnancies. I am VERY EXCITED about the possibilities and would welcome suggestions and comments. Private e-mail may be better to avoid cluttering the list but I will give periodic updates on progress if there is interest. Thanks, Wendy
