Brock is looking for new fathers and soon-to-be dads.
Allison Flynn-Bowman, a graduate student in Brock University’s Department of Nursing is researching how to strengthen the involvement of fathers in the lives of their newborns.
Through a program Flynn-Bowman created called Dad Rocks Niagara, she and her supervisor, Associate Professor of Nursing Lynn Rempel, have come up with a method they think will help fathers develop better relationships with their newborns and partners.
The two researchers are looking for around 60 men in and around Niagara whose partners are in their final stages of pregnancy to participate in a study that will test out their method.
Men who are about to become fathers or whose newborns are less than two weeks old and who wish to participate in the study should contact: dadrocksstudy@gmail.com or visit the the Facebook page at facebook.com/DadRocksNiagara
