Mothers possess a specific experience raising children, an inherent understanding of power because they see firsthand what works in their families and communities, and a unique perspective on how policies affect families.
The objective of this survey is to assess mothers' views on the recent policy actions by the U.S. government and presidential administration, and to share this information with policymakers and the public.

By participating in our surveys and focus groups, your voice is added to the data we compile and share on a non-partisan basis with news organizations and legislators or industry leaders. We are committed to providing data to inform policymaking on issues that matter to you. We never share any personal information that you provide. The surveys you complete ask for your views based on firsthand experience on issues that inform policymaking or legislation that is currently being considered in Congress, specifically that affects children and families. Count on Mothers provides real-time, first-hand data and insights to guide decision-making. Each policy that we survey mothers on, across the country and political spectrum, is chosen based on what mothers want to address. Every mother is welcomed.
We survey mothers across the political spectrum and all U.S. regions to compile data from a representative sample that reflects the nation’s demographic distribution. Count on Mothers utilizes mixed quantitative and qualitative methodologies including cross-sectional research surveys, open-ended question prompts, interviews, and focus groups to explore family needs. To ensure the voices of mothers across the political spectrum are heard, Count on Mothers employs purposeful, as well as snowball sampling to gather responses. Mothers are recruited through social media campaigns as well as word of mouth. Quantitative responses are analyzed using JMP®, Version 17.0.0. SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, 1989–2023. Qualitative responses are analyzed using an inductive grounded theory approach in which responses are grouped thematically. In depth reporting of results is published monthly on the Results page.
Count on Mothers provides data to inform decisions across federal policies and industries that impact children. We post policy data for the public to use and we partner with industry groups for the express purpose of ensuring that industry and government policymakers prioritize the health, safety, and well-being of children and families.
In the case of data on federal policies, when mothers agree across the political spectrum, that components of a bill under review would have a positive impact on their families, Count on Mothers endorses that bill. Click here for an example.

"A mother’s voice speaks not only for herself, but for our future. Count On Mothers understands that. And it's why I was so thrilled to jump in and help grow the voices of mothers where we need them most."
"Data is power. I love the idea of the power of mothers. Imagine 90%+ of mothers stating that they know more than 1 child who died by suicide in the last year. Imagine the clarity that legislators cannot ignore if nonpartisan data shows X% of mothers state Y."
"Mothers are an incredibly passionate and dedicated group. Individually we make a difference in the lives around us every day. Collectively, if we raise our voices, we can make a difference on a national level. Count on Mothers harnesses this potential."
We are a dedicated team with a mission to compile data that will inform how leaders prioritize our children and families when making decisions that affect their future. Our goal is to collect this important data from mothers and translate it into actionable insights for news organizations, legislators, and industry leaders. We do this monthly, one study at a time.
