To All Women in the Field of Prosthetics,
We are a growing force within the Prosthetic Community. Ever worry about
the warnings on those chemicals we use everyday? They're a little scary.
How does working in prosthetics affect a woman's reproductive health? What
kind of precautions are women taking with the chemicals they use?
I am conducting a web survey to determine the prevalence fertility problems
among female practitioners and technicians and the rate of congenital
anomalies (birth defects) among their children. I am also interested in
learning what safety measures women take. Any woman in the field for any
length of time, whether she's been pregnant or not, is eligible for the
survey.
The survey can be found at
