Count on Mothers is an independent, nonpartisan research firm tracking what mothers across all 50 states are experiencing.
When you join The Count, your voice helps inform how leaders, institutions, and policymakers respond.
The Count is our national community of mothers across all 50 states. Participation is always voluntary — you can decline any question, withdraw at any time, and unsubscribe whenever you choose.
All findings are reported in aggregate. Individual responses are never published or shared with third parties in any identifiable form.
Personally identifiable information is accessed only by Count on Mothers team members who hold current human subjects research training certification, and is stored on secured systems with restricted access.
You may decline any question, skip any section, or withdraw at any time without penalty. No part of your relationship with Count on Mothers depends on completing a survey.
We are grateful to the thousands of U.S. mothers who shared their perspectives. As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into children's daily experiences, this national study examines how U.S. mothers are navigating its risks, benefits, and unknowns.
In collaboration with Dr. Dana Suskind (University of Chicago) and Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr (University College London). Dissemination and advisory partners: MAMA (Mothers Against Media Addiction), Institute for Families and Technology, and Scrolling2Death.
Roundtables and lived-experience discussions allow mothers to share perspective beyond what surveys capture. While our nationally representative surveys form the foundation of our research, these conversations bring nuance, context, and the texture of everyday family life.
Below: a clip from a 2025 roundtable conversation conducted as part of our Pulse Check 2025: Mothers on Child Mental Health Impacts, Care, and Support report — a nationally representative study of 2,700 U.S. mothers examining children's mental health needs and family experiences navigating support systems.
