Study overview:
Graduate student researchers from the Department of Occupational Science & Occupational Therapy at the University of Toronto are inviting you to take part in the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines in the Early Years for Children with Disabilities or with Physical, Cognitive, or Social Difficulties research study. The purpose of this study is to provide an in-depth understanding of the application of the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines in the Early Years for children who experience disabilities and/or physical, cognitive, or social difficulties.
Who can participate?
We are looking for parents or primary caregivers of children (aged 0 to 4 years) with a disability or who experience physical, cognitive, or social difficulties. Primary caregivers are considered adults who spend the majority of the time with the child (e.g., parents).
What’s involved?
Primary caregivers will be asked to complete a 45-minute online interview via zoom to discuss their child's physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviors and to share their perspective on the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years.
Why should you consider participating?
Your input will help us understand the current 24-Hour Movement Guidelines in place for children in their early years (ages 0-4) and the application to children with disabilities and/or physical, cognitive, or social difficulties. This information will help support the development of evidence-based policies and programs to better serve children with disabilities.
What do I get for participating?
Eligible participants will receive a $20 Amazon e-gift card for completing the interview.
