3/10/2020 | 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM | Families and researchers: Why connect? | New York B
Families and researchers: Why connect?
This presentation will go beyond the typical framework of families as the study subjects of research, to explore the ways in which family leaders and family-based organizations can meaningfully support research in many ways including: finding/having access to families, disseminating information about research projects, formalized contracts with universities to support the design of research studies. Examples of research projects conducted in conjunction with parents will be shared. This presentation will be delivered from a researcher's perspective, as well as a parent perspective. Families can be motivated to participate in research studies when they understand the benefits to both their own children and for furthering support to other families. Strategies will be shared for ensuring successful participation.
- Participants will be able to describe why connecting families and family based organizations in the development, implementation, and results of the research process is important for children who are DHH.
- Participants will be able to describe strategies for authentically engaging families in research studies.
- Participants will be able to identify benefits for families participating in research.
