Preparing for Parenthood: Experiences, Expectations and Perspectives
A short, anonymous survey on how adults think about becoming parents and how, if at all, they prepare for that transition.
About this research
Toivo Family and Community Initiative is conducting this research to understand how adults think about becoming parents and how, if at all, they prepare for that transition.
You do not need to have children, or a partner, to take part.
We are interested in people's experiences, expectations, views and sources of information. There are no right or wrong answers. Please answer based on your own experiences and views.
The survey takes approximately 7–8 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and you may stop at any time.
Privacy and use of responses
This survey does not ask for your name, email address or other direct identifying information. Your responses will be accessible only to the Toivo Family and Community Initiative research team and will be used for research and analysis.

By continuing, you consent to your responses being used for research and to inform the development of resources and educational approaches.
