Researchers are currently seeking to explore the use of social media (e.g., Facebook) support groups for caregivers during and beyond their child’s diagnosis of cancer.
Engagement will be online (virtual) and includes:
- providing input on the study questions and method
- planning effective ways to recruit participants for the study
- offering perspectives on study results and their impact on families
- identifying ways to share the results of the study with families
Who can apply?
- Caregivers with lived experience (i.e., whose child is currently in remission from cancer) who are interested in providing valuable input and feedback during the beginning, middle, and end phases of the current research project.
- Persons living in an Atlantic province (Nfld., N.B., N.S., P.E.I.)
Time commitment:
Patient partners will meet with the research team over the next 1-2 years for a total of 3-4 times. They will be given $40 after each meeting.
