  • New Moms Wanted for Research Study Focus Group

    Did you have a baby in the last year? Do you want to tell us what you think of a Facebook-delivered weight loss program for moms?

    Researchers at the University of Connecticut are looking for women who had a baby in the last year to participate in a research focus group discussion to provide feedback on a Facebook-delivered weight loss program for new moms. Your input will help us make the weight loss program better.
