Our Community Birth Center is a nonprofit organization in Lane County that is actively working to open a new community-based nurse midwifery birth center, health clinic, and lactation service. Your completion of this survey is voluntary (it is not required by anyone). By taking this survey, you are giving permission to Our Community Birth Center to contact you and invite you to participate in a Focus Group. There is no payment or prize for completing this survey; however, if you are invited and do participate in a focus group then you will receive a gift card as a thank you for your time.
A focus group is a small group discussion in which a facilitator will ask questions to help gather information. The goal of our focus groups is to learn about what people want and need from pregnancy, birth and postpartum care in our local community and how people choose where to seek care. This will help us to develop a new birth center that effectively fulfills the needs of people in our community.
Your answers will be kept private and only the Executive Director, Facilitator, and Co-facilitator of the focus groups will have access to the information you provide. This information about you will help us to form focus groups and then match each group with a facilitator.
