First time father and feeling down?
It is not uncommon for new dads to feel low in mood as they transition in to fatherhood. If you have experienced this, we would like to hear from you! We are conducting a research study exploring first time fathers’ experiences of depression. The study involves completing an online questionnaire and possibly being interviewed about your experience.
You can take part by following this link: rhulpsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3UTuifPgEzJg3o9
Or for further information contact the researcher catrin.smith.2017@live.rhul.ac.uk
Those who take part in interviews will receive a £20 Amazon Voucher for their time
This research is part of a doctoral thesis in Clinical Psychology and has been granted ethical approval by the Department of Psychology Ethics Committee at Royal Holloway, University of London
