McMaster employees needed for research study

1. Are you a McMaster employee?

2. Are you caring for an adult family member or friend who is elderly, disabled, or chronically ill?

Please consider participating in our study!

We are exploring the experiences of people working full-time while also providing unpaid care to an adult friend or family member.

We want to understand how this impacts you, your health and your ability to manage.

As a participant in this study, you will be asked to take part in three audio-taped survey sessions over the course of a 12 month period. You will also receive a 1 hour support session.

Each session is expected to take approximately 1-1.5 hours of your time. You will receive a $25 honorarium for each survey that you complete.

The research is being led by Dr. Allison Williams, who holds a Chair in Gender, Work & Health at McMaster University.

For more information, or to volunteer in this study, please contact Jelena Atanackovic at 905-525-9140 x28617 or atanacj@mcmaster.ca

This study received ethics clearance through the McMaster Research Ethics Committee.
