Join the BronQ Family project and take part in our anonymous online survey!

BronQ Family is an international research project studying how Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), also known as chronic lung disease of prematurity, affects children and their families' quality of life over time. To do so, we are inviting parents or caregivers of children born preterm (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) to take part in an online questionnaire on families' quality of life.

Who can take part?

Are you a parent or primary caregiver of a child who…

• ...was born preterm (before 37 weeks of pregnancy), regardless of whether they have been formally diagnosed with BPD, experienced respiratory/ lung problems or not,
• ...has been discharged from their initial hospital stay after birth,
• ...is currently under 18 years old, and
• ...was born or lives in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK (incl. Northern Ireland), or the US.

We want to learn more about the challenges families face when a child is born preterm, and which experiences are specifically linked to BPD. Even if your child wasn’t diagnosed with BPD but had breathing difficulties, needed oxygen, or required ventilation after birth, your experience is highly valuable for this research.
