Hello. Our names are Mindy Markham, Jessica Troilo, Marilyn Coleman,
and Lawrence Ganong and we are graduate students and faculty members
at the University of Missouri - Columbia (http://hdfs.missouri.edu).
We are interested in understanding how people think about different
types of parents. We would like to invite your group members to
participate in a research study about how mothers and fathers are
viewed. Participation is voluntary and completely confidential.

The survey is available online and can be accessed at any time that is
convenient for you. We would appreciate it if you would take the time
to answer this survey in the next two weeks.
