Study Recruitment: The Early Response Tool
Researchers from The University of Queensland are conducting a study to evaluate the Early Response Tool – a tool that measures day-to-day issues parents and carers commonly experience when providing care to a child or adolescent with a disability. The end goal of the ERT is to gather a snapshot of an individual family’s strengths and challenges. This study will inform new and improved service delivery practices to identify and support parents/carers and families who may be finding the parenting/caring role challenging.
How you can help:
We are seeking parents or carers of children and adolescents with a disability (up to 18 years) to complete an anonymous survey about their parenting/caring experiences. The survey takes between 10 and 20 minutes to complete, and those who complete the survey can enter a raffle to win one of four $50 Coles Myer Gift Cards.
You can complete the survey online ( using the access password parent. To request a paper copy of the survey, please contact Maria Vassos (m.vassos@uq.edu.au or 0413 769 142). The survey will be available to complete until Friday December 31, 2021.
