PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR RESEARCH ON THE EXPERIENCES OF COPING
DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC FOR ADULTS LIVING
WITH 22q11DS
We are looking for adult (18+) volunteers to take
part in a qualitative study that will explore how adults living
with 22q11DS experience and adapt to the lifestyle changes from
the COVID-19 Pandemic. Parent’s perspectives on how their adult
son/daughter is doing is also welcomed. Volunteers from Ontario
are especially welcomed but if you are interested from another
province or territory in Canada please let us know.
As a participant in this study, you would be asked
to participate in an open-ended phone or online interview of
approximately 60 minutes (either in one interview, or two
shorter interviews of about 30 minutes). The questions will
focus on better understanding participants’ experiences with
physical distancing, and other measures, during the COVID-19
pandemic.
For more information about this study, or to
volunteer as a participant for this study, please contact
Professor Sue Horton who will be supported by Research Assistant
Jeremy Paulus.

G2MH, an international group of scientists and healthcare providers supported by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), many of whom are members of the 22q11.2 Society and Max Appeal (e.g. Cardiff), is interested in learning about why families and persons affected by any chromosome difference may or may not participate in research studies. In addition, given the current COVID-19 pandemic, G2MH is also hoping to learn about how families are coping during this difficult time.
