Chunk #9 — Overview of the early growth and development study — Recruitment methods — Recruitment of birth mothers, adoptive families, and birth fathers
Confidentiality of participation between birth mother and birth father is maintained such that neither the agency nor project staff members share information about birth parent study participation between participants. In addition, the study maintains a strict firewall such that different staff members are responsible for birth parent and adoptive parent contact within a given triad (in recruitment and assessment). As such, we attempt to ensure that the study will not in any way serve as a conduit of information between parties.
