Research Opportunity!
The Looking After Each Other: A Dignity Promotion Research Project for FASD is looking for participants for virtual interviews on Zoom. They estimate that this interview would take between 60 to 90 minutes of your time, and you will receive a 25 dollars gift card as an honorarium for participating in this study.
This research has been approved by the Joint-Faculty Research Ethics Board (JFREB) at the University of Manitoba. If you choose to participate in this study, the information you provide will be kept confidential. If you choose not to participate (or withdraw from the study later on) for any reason, please know that there will be no repercussions. If you would like more information about the study, please find attached a poster that advertises the research project and its facilitators.
Please read the poster and if you have further questions or if you are interested in participating in this study, please, you can contact myself or Dr. Kathryn Levine (Kathryn.Levine@umanitoba.ca). It would be helpful if you distributed this poster among your clients and colleagues.
