Researchers at KTH and Stockholm University are looking for participants to interview about people’s experiences of using Natural Cycles as a form of contraception. All users of Natural Cycles who are using it in Birth Control mode are welcome to participate. The researchers particularly encourage participation from LGBTQ+ folks.
The research team welcomes participation from across the globe and will work with participants to accommodate time zone differences as far as possible.
Who can participate?
- If you are aged 18+
- If you are using Natural Cycles as a method of contraception or for any other reasons except planning a pregnancy and follow a pregnancy
How can you participate?
Interviews will be conducted online using video-conferencing software (Zoom). Participants can choose to participate with or without a video feed. As some information may be sensitive or personal, you are always free to answer only the questions that you are comfortable with. Interviews can be conducted in English, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, Catalan, French, Korean, and Hindi.
