Parenting Science Gang

PSG puts parents in charge of the research agenda. We're a user-led citizen science project funded by Wellcome.

[Fivexmore_ @fivexmore]

Today we are launching the Black Maternity Experience survey. We want to hear from Black women and birthing people to bridge the gap of the missing data on morbidity and the near misses.

Today, Parliament is debating Black Maternal Healthcare for the first time in its history.

The UK maternal mortality rate for white women is 8 per 100,000 live births.

For Black women, this rises to 34 per 100,000 live births #BlackMaternalHealthDebate

This was such a fun study to be involved with, and now the data is published - research findings from @imperialcollege, @QUBelfast and @parentscigang add more evidence to suggest that milk donation can continue up to 24 months postnatally.

We are collecting children's experiences of #lockdown and the impact of #Covid19UK.

We need children (aged 4-14) living in the #UK to draw us a picture and parents to take photo, upload it & answer some very brief background questions.

@Mental_Elf @j4 We found with @parentscigang that the only way to get mums to come to online events in the evenings, was to do them at 9pm. Any earlier and most of them are still putting kids to bed.

I have an ongoing study on breastfeeding supporter wellbeing. It would be interesting to get more participants during the pandemic. If you work to support breastfeeding in any role, I'd appreciate your time. It explores feelings of burnout & empathy

WOOHOO! Our fourth PSG paper published! #citizenscience

Fab little video showing how we can use mathematical language to promote learning. Really lovely to watch, created by fellow developmental psychologist @DrVicSimms and her little one. @parentscigang @EarlyYearsSU #ParentingInLockdown

Very honoured to be included as a case study in this EU report on citizen science. Even more honoured to be highlighted in the ‘way ahead’ section.
