• Used mifepristone to have an abortion on or after January 1, 2015
• Were living in Maine, ME at the time
• Are sufficiently fluent in English or French to answer interview questions
• Have access to a telephone, Skype, or ZoomDuring the interview, we will ask you series of questions about your background, your reproductive health history, and the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy.

Are you in a romantic relationship and plan to relocate with your partner in the near future? Are you interested in being involved in psychological research? If so, then our study would be a great fit for you!
My name is Rebecca, and I am a researcher from the Relationships and Well-Being (RAW) Lab at the University of Toronto. Our lab studies romantic relationships and what factors are responsible for keeping couples healthy and happy over time.
More specifically, we are launching a study that tracks couples who are going to relocate to a different city or country for one partner’s job in the upcoming year—a growing trend in our fast-paced, mobile world. Many people report changes to their relationships during a major life transition such as relocation. We are interested in surveying couples before they relocate, during their move (i.e., brief biweekly surveys in the midst of moving), and after they have relocated (i.e., follow-up surveys 6, 9, and 12 months later) to identify factors that will help couples navigate changes throughout the relocation process. Given the longer-term commitment we require in this study, participants can earn up to $120 CAD ($240 CAD per couple) for their valuable time and efforts.
To be eligible for our study, you and your partner must be:
• At least 18 years old
• Currently living together
• Able to read and write in English
• Planning to relocate for one of your jobs/schooling in a month from now up to at the latest August 2021
• Both willing to participate in the studyIf you meet our criteria and are interested in participating in our study, we ask that you email us at utmrelocationstudy@gmail.com with the subject line “Interest in Romantic Relationships and Relocation Study”, or reply via the kijiji portal. When we reply, we will arrange a time to chat on the phone with you and your partner to confirm your eligibility. Note: your personal information will be kept strictly confidential and only used for the purposes of contacting you to confirm eligibility.
We look forward to hearing from all of the relocators out there!
With great thanks,
The RAW Lab TeamFor more information:

Enter the Wisteria Community Association aka Stone Soup, one of
less than a handful of local not-for-profits who have stepped up to provide
a basic need for any of us – food and water. Each and every night this group
provides bagged dinners for approximately 150 unhoused people plus a bagged breakfast for those who
want one. They are also able to distribute things like vitamins, clothing, warm socks, shoes, sleeping
bags etc. that have been donated to them by those who care in Nanaimo.Up until December 3rd. the Wisteria Community Association was a regular feature on Wesley Street in Nanaimo, feeding the folks living rough there and others who knew where to come to obtain nourishment. As a result of a fire in some of the tents on December 3rd and the City of Nanaimo’s decision
to “evict” all the residents, during a pandemic, these folks have been displaced to other areas of Nanaimo,
making providing food that much harder.While donations of clothing, etc. and food are very much
appreciated, A much-needed kitchen has been leased for five years. Renovations are being done and
equipment is required. Some food must be purchased to supplement that obtained by donation. This will allow hot food to be given to people needing it, especially during the cold months of
winter. Expenses like these require financial help in the way of monetary donations.
Please help us to keep running this vital program, while plans are made by other organizations to end
homelessness, once and for all.
