Seeking teens and young adults with disabilities to be interviewed
Sexual and reproductive health is an important part of being healthy.
Brandeis University is doing a study about the things that young people with disabilities think are important for their sexual health. We also want to learn how their family, doctor, school, and/or community can help them take care of their sexual health. There may be things that make it difficult or easy for them to get sexual health services. We want to know about these things too. We will use what we learn in the interviews to make a website. The website will teach teens and young adults with disabilities about taking good care of their sexual health.
We are looking for people to take part in interviews.
To take part, you must:
- Have been born in the United States
- Live in the United States
- Be between 15 and 25 years old
- Have a disability
- Be able to talk to us in English, Spanish, or American Sign Language over a Zoom call
We will talk to you for about one hour. We will record your interview so we remember what you say. If you do not want your interview or answers to be recorded, then you cannot be a part of this study. Only the researchers will have access to the recording.
If you do the interview, you will get a $50 Amazon gift card to thank you for your time.
If you would like to take part in the study, please email Janelle Mills at youthstudy@brandeis.edu or call her at 781-736-3928.
If you need an accommodation to take part in the study, please let us know. If you want, you can also have a support person with you during the interview. Or you can do the interview alone.
It is your choice to take part in this study. Nothing will happen to any services you receive if you decide not to take part. We will keep your name and any information that could identify you private. We will write about what we learn and we may share quotes of things you say in our reports, presentations, and publications, but nobody will know who said them.
