Do you
Live in the Victoria area and have a parent(s) over 60, in Victoria, for whom you provide at least three hours a week of support or care (including for example, emotional or financial support or help with tasks)?
If so
We would like to invite you to participate in a research study about responsibility for parents, being conducted through the Centre on Aging at the University of Victoria, with funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Dr. Neena Chappell is the project lead.
The purpose of this research is to examine attitudes towards responsibility to parents and caregiving behaviours among three groups of caregivers to older adults: Caucasian Canadian, Canadian Chinese living in Vancouver, and Chinese living in Hong Kong. This research will help us understand cultural differences in caregiving and caregiver well-being. At present, we are seeking to interview those who identify as Caucasian (White) Canadians for the Victoria component of this project; who were born in Canada and have parents born in Canada.
Your participation in this research would involve one interview of about an hour and half in length, with a trained interviewer. Involvement is voluntary and everything you share is confidential.
If you would like to participate or learn more, please contact Linda Outcalt at 472-4169 or loutcalt@uvic.ca
