My Story, Our Journeys: Research Project

Invitation to participate in a research project

Are you:

• over 18 years?

• from a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background?

• living with a long-term illness?

• finding you need a bit of help to care for yourself?

OR

• do you provide care for someone over 18 from a CALD background living with a life-limiting illness?

A University of Adelaide research team are aiming to better understand what it is like for people making decisions about where and how they will be cared for, as it gets harder for them to care for themselves.

This study will follow someone over time who is living with a life-limiting illness and their carer, for between 12 and 18 months. Researchers hope to learn how we can better support families to get the care they all need at this time.

As part of this study, both of you (separately or together) would meet about every three months for 30-90 minutes, when and where it suits you, to talk with one of the researchers about your experiences, expectations, and needs. We will provide a $100 gift voucher to say thank you for your time and thoughts.
