Thank you again for your assistance with this study. We were able to complete recruitment for the first phase of our study, and we hope that a few more participants from your university might sign up for our second phase.
Hi David Delay,
Our research team is seeking students from social work and psychology to participate in a study exploring how mental health professionals make decisions within interdisciplinary teams. This research study is jointly being conducted with the Cumming School of Medicine, Werklund School of Education, and the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Calgary.
Students who content to participate will be asked to complete a short online survey and participate in an online case consultation session with two students from other professional programs-similar to the teams they will work with in their future career. Students will also have the option to complete two short follow-up surveys and participate in an interview to share their experience of the study.
Participants will receive a $25 coffee e-gift card for completing the survey.
The University of Calgary Conjoint Faculties Research Ethics Board has approved this study (REB17-0414) and we have additionally received acknowledgment/approval from your institution's Ethics Board.
I am hoping that you can share the below information and the attached flyer with students in your program via listserv or program news pages (e.g., D2L).
To protect participant confidentiality, we will not inform training programs of individual students' participation in the study.
Any support you can provide to share this information is greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
Ariba Bajwa Research Assistant
