Hello, and welcome to this online survey being conducted by Dr. Suniya Luthar and colleagues at Teachers College, Columbia University.  We are thrilled that you have chosen to participate.  The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

In developmental research, women are typically considered in terms of their behaviors as mothers--rarely in terms of their own personhood.  This survey will explore how you feel about your different roles--not only as a mother, but also as a spouse, a friend, a worker (in and out of the hoome), an individual with various hopes and fears--and how you cope with the challenge of balancing multiple roles.

Let me assure you that your responses will remain completely anonymous.  A unique ID number will be assigned to each participant and no identifying information whatsoever will be collected.  Also, your decision to participate is entirely voluntary and you may decide at any time to withdraw.

Results of this survey are to be included in a book I am writing, called "Who Mothers Mommy?"  If you would like to receive a summary of our findings you will have the option of including your email address on the last page of the survey.

If you have any questions or comments on the study, or if you wish a clarification of your rights as a research participant, you may contact Dr. Suniya Luthar at the address below.  Please print out this page for reference.
