Study for Parents

Sleep and neurodevelopmental disorders: Treatment barriers and facilitators

Help needed!

Are you the parent of a child aged 4-12 years old diagnosed with one of the following neurodevelopmental disorders: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), or Cerebral Palsy (CP)? We are looking for Canadian parents of children with these neurodevelopmental disorders who have sleep problems (e.g., bedtime resistance, difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking during the night, and irregular sleep-wake patterns). Parents will participate in online focus groups about their experiences accessing treatment for their children’s sleep problems, to help us learn more about how to increase families’ and health professionals’ access to effective treatments.

Participation involves completing several brief questionnaires and taking part in online focus groups with other parents from across Canada.

Participants have a chance to win a $50 www.amazon.ca gift card!
