What is STORK? STORK is the first online couple-based program designed to enhance knowledge about changes to sexuality during pregnancy and postpartum and skills to cope with these changes. STORK was designed to strengthen couples’ relationships across the transition to parenthood.
What is involved?
- An initial screening call
- 5 PAID online surveys (2 during pregnancy + 3 during postpartum)
- FREE ACCESS to the STORK program (timing will differ based on random group assignment)
Wondering if you are a good fit for the study? Here are the couples we are seeking:
- One member of the couple is ≤ 26 weeks pregnant with your first baby and neither partner is already a parent
- You are both 18 years or older
- You are in a romantic relationship of at least 12 months
- You and your partner live together
- Both members are currently residing in Canada, USA, Australia, UK, or New Zealand
* Other criteria may apply
Inclusivity matters: STORK requires one member of the couple to be currently pregnant. Otherwise, STORK is open to individuals of all genders, bodies, and sexual orientations.
In addition to having free access to the STORK program, you can receive $105 CAD or the currency equivalent each ($210 CAD or currency equivalent per couple) for completing the five surveys that are a part of the study. Your time is valuable to us!
