Research Study: Maternal Disability and Child Health Care

What is the study about?

· We want to know what made it harder or easier to get health care services for your children, how these experiences have impacted both you and your children, and what you think should change about child health care for mothers with disabilities and their families.

· What you share will help us create tailored supports for mothers with disabilities and their families.

You may be able to participate if you:

· Are 18 years or older

· Identify or may be identified as having a disability (e.g., physical disability, hearing loss, vision loss, developmental disability)

· Have a child or children up to 6 years of age living with you

· Live and receive health care in Ontario

How will the study work?

· You will be asked to do a 1-hour interview about your experiences accessing health care for your children.

· The interview will be done by telephone or Zoom video chat with researchers at a time that works for you.

· You can do the study, or not do the study. The choice you make will not impact any of the services you use now or later.

· If you need any supports or accommodations to participate, these will be provided.

· For participating, you will receive a $50 gift card to thank you for your time.
