Survey on early parenthood in surgeons

We are conducting a survey on experiences about breastfeeding, pregnancy and parental leave for surgical trainees and consultants in Europe. Literature on the physical, emotional and practical challenges encountered by women –and men- in relation to these topics is sparse, especially from outside the United States. The survey includes questions about breastfeeding, pregnancy and parental leave. The responses will be kept completely confidential, and data will be pseudonymised. All the answers will be stored in RedCap for 10 years. Personal data will not be shared outside of this research. The survey will take around 15 minutes to complete. No incentives will be provided for the participation. Participation is entirely voluntary and termination of participation can happen at any time.
