Dear colleagues
we are working in Aberdeen on a health research project addressing the
questions:
what decisions do women (couples) after a Caesarean Section (CS) in terms of
future children; Or does a CS mean that a women is likely to have further
children compared to someone in similar socio-economic conditions but with a
normal delivery?
We soon found we had to address the question of one-child families.
Unfortunately, a literature search gives us predominantly material on China.
We would like to hear from or about anybody involved in research in on-child
families in industrialised countries?
On behalf of my colleague Maureen Porter and I, thank you very much in
advance for any information/comments/thoughts.
