Researchers at the University of Calgary are looking for youth and young adults with FASD to take part in an individual interview to share their perspectives about how health professionals can identify and support young people with FASD struggling with thoughts of suicide.
Interviews will last about 30 to 45 minutes and can be done over Zoom, by phone, or in person (in Calgary, AB). Participants will receive a $50 gift card to thank them for their time.
They are looking for people:
- Between the ages of 16 and 30 years
- With a formal diagnosis of FASD by a registered health provider
- Who are Canadian residents
- Who have experienced suicidal thoughts or behaviours
This research study is being conducted by investigators at the University of Calgary (Drs. Carly McMorris and Dorothy Badry), the University of Alberta (Dr. Jacqueline Pei), and the Canadian FASD Research Network (CanFASD; Dr. Kelly Harding, Audrey McFarlane, and Kathy Unsworth).
It is funded by the Canadian Association of Suicide Prevention (CASP) and has been approved by the University of Calgary’s Conjoint Faculties Research Ethics Board (CFREB; REB23-0933).
