FSOS Kayla Anderson will present at IFFS/ASRM in Boston

AndersonKDepartment of Family Social Science graduate student Kayla Anderson will present at the conjoint annual meeting of the International Federation of Fertility Societies and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Boston this October.
Anderson’s paper, “Outcomes of ART Multiples and Their Families: A Look at Middle Childhood” examines parent and child adjustment, marital quality, and parent-child relationship quality in assisted reproduction families with 6-12 year old singletons, twins, or triplets.


While around 30-35% of families using assisted reproductive technologies have twins or triplets, there is little information about individual family members’ adjustment and parent-child relationship quality in assisted conception families with school-aged children. This study found that there were few differences between assisted conception families with singleton children and families with twins or triplets.
