ADHD Study — Family Perceptions of ADHD
We hope to learn about how Canadian parents and children perceive ADHD behaviours and common treatments for ADHD, and to compare these perceptions between families of Asian descent and families of Western European descent. We hope the findings will help us provide better services for families of children with ADHD who are from diverse backgrounds.
The study will take place online at three time points over 8 months. At each time point, you will be asked to fill out some questionnaires online. As an optional component of the study, you may choose whether or not to have your child or teenager participate in a short online interview over Zoom.
You will be paid $35 each time for completing the questionnaires and $15 each time your child or teenager completes their interview. Therefore, you will be paid $105 for completing parent questionnaires in all three time points, and an additional amount of $45 for your child or teenager completing their interviews in all three time points.
