Closed Recruitment
Other Eyes and Vision, Health Services and Policy, Other Brains and Nerves, Other COVID-19, Other Cancers
While caregiving can be rewarding, it is also time-intensive, challenging, and affects work productivity and health. It is essential to measure how caregiving impacts caregiver work productivity and health utility to improve the support offered through current policies. Considering intersecting identity factors is imperative to inform equitable policymaking, reduce disparities, and improve caregiver wellbeing.
After you indicate interest in participating in this study, a graduate student will reach out to you via email. After reaching out, you will be screened for eligibility, and asked to fill a consent form before partaking in the interview. Before starting the interview, participants will be reminded that participation is voluntary. One-on-one interviews will be conducted virtually through UBC Zoom and are expected to last 45-60 minutes. Interviews will be audio recorded (no video). The interviewer will take notes as the participant speaks. During the interview, participants will be asked to think aloud about the survey design and its content (e.g., clarity of questions asked).
