Research Study: Caring Across Generations

About the Opportunity

A research team from the University of Toronto is studying the experiences of caregivers living in Canada who provide support to multiple people. They are looking for candidates who care for people with different care needs (e.g., a child and an adult with a disability or a child and a senior) rather than multiple caregivers who care for people with the same care needs (e.g., a parent caring for multiple children). This research will help inform solutions for the provision of care in Canada.

In order to protect your confidentiality, the interview transcription will be assigned a pseudonym (fake name) and will be stored in password-protected folders and computer.

What will be expected of me?

• You'll first fill out a pre-screening survey which should take less than 5 minutes
• After filling out the survey, you may be contacted to schedule a phone or video (Zoom) interview (expected to be between 45 and 90 minutes in length)
• During this interview, you will be asked to share about your experience as a caregiver, what a typical weekday looks like for you, the impacts of your care responsibilities, and what government support might make these easier
• Participation is completely voluntary, and you can decide to not to answer certain questions or withdraw from the study at any time.

As a thank you, interview participants will receive a $25 President's Choice gift card.
