The iCIPHE Alliance are conducting a study to reach international agreement on key topics (also called measures or indicators) that can help track how well-prepared people are for pregnancy and parenthood (women, men, people with other gender identities).

Who can take part in the survey?

To capture the opinions from different people, four groups are asked to take part in the survey:

  • Members of the public (individuals aged 18-49 years or representatives of the public for example through a non-profit or community-based organisation)
  • Health and social care professionals
  • Policy and programme professionals
  • Researchers

What does it involve?

  • Complete an online survey - this may take 10-15 minutes.
  • Optional: you can also choose to take part in optional follow-up discussions, including an online meeting and in-person/online workshop in Geneva, to talk about the findings with other participants.
  • Taking part in this study is free and we are not able to pay you for participating.

Why take part?

Your input will shape recommendations to guide governments and health agencies on what to measure on how well-prepared and well-supported people are for pregnancy and parenthood. This will ultimately inform tailored health services and policies based on population needs and improve maternal and child health.
