Survey: Understanding Food Insecurity on Young Organ Transplant Patients

About the Opportunity

The University of Alberta is looking for parents or caregivers of children and youth (0–19 yrs) who live in Canada and have received a liver, kidney, or multi-organ transplant to participate in a brief survey.

This survey will help understand the impact of food insecurity (limited access to safe and nutritious food) on children's health. All organ transplant caregivers are welcome to participate, whether or not you experience issues of food insecurity. By joining this study, you will help us build evidence to advocate for effective policies and interventions that address food insecurity in this population.

What will be expected of me?

• Fill out a brief online survey (5-10 minutes)
• You must be located in Canada to participate
• If interested, there is an optional second phase following the survey which involves an online interview and a diet record, allowing for a more in-depth investigation of mental health, quality of life, diet quality, and the facilitators and barriers to food security.

How do I participate?
