Within the My body, My drugs, My world project, Fiona Martin is undertaking a study on the experiences of young mothers and pregnant women as part of her PhD. Through in-depth interviews and group discussions with young mums and pregnant women, she is looking at young women's expectations of motherhood, the way they negotiate their drug use and their role as mothers, the experience of being a young woman and a mother at the same time, and finally, young mothers' and pregnant women's needs and attitudes with regards to service provision. The aim of the research is to better understand
the often ignored or heavily criticized phenomenon of mothers who
use drugs. It also aims to produce a comprehensive study of this
experience so that service providers, academics, students and policy
makers have access to more information about drug use from the perspective
of the women who engage in it. |
