job posting of the day

Women's Health Breastfeeding Recruiter
The phrasing suggests a breastapo-like agenda. By the title, this sounds like a job where you'd be recruiting women to engage in breast feeding. But no. Turns out you'd be recruiting women to participate in a study on promoting breast feeding. A slightly different thing, although in practice I suspect both meanings are accurate.
This position is part of a grant funded, multi-year study designed to see if peer counseling, specialized for obese women, can be an effective strategy for promoting the World health Organization's recommendation to exclusively breastfeed for at least 6 months. ...This recruiter/interviewer will have the critical role of recruiting obese, low-income pregnant women from the Women's Ambulatory Health Services Clinic At HH to participate in the study.
