Resource for individuals recently diagnosed with concussion
Edith Cowan University Perth (Joondalup Campus) are seeking participants 18 years or over for workshops that aim to develop consumer informed resource for individuals recently diagnosed with concussion.
Sessions are being held on Saturday 4 February or Saturday 11 February from 10am to 1pm at Edith Cowan University Joondalup, WA.
What is this project about? The project aims to develop a resource together with people diagnosed with concussion. This resource will aid individuals with concussion by providing information and guidance to optimise their clinician consultation time. It will include a collection of questions that individuals recently diagnosed with concussion will find helpful in their first interactions with their clinician after diagnosis.
What does my participation involve? Your participation in this research project will involve attending two in-person consumer-centric workshops. Before the first workshop, you will be asked to reflect on questions you wished you could have asked or forgot to ask your clinician when first diagnosed and bring them with you to the workshop. These questions will be the basis of a three-hour workshop. During this workshop, you will be asked to participate in small and large group conversations about the questions you previously created. By the end of the workshop, we will have a list of the most important questions to ask clinician when first diagnosed with concussion. We will also ask you some short, simple questions such as your age, gender, years of lived experience, and postcode. You will then be invited to attend an optional second three-hour workshop several weeks after the first workshop. During the second workshop, you will be asked to participate in small and large group conversations about the best presentation format for the questions developed in workshop one. Attendance and contribution to the workshops does not imply any commitment to further research participation.
The conversations within this workshop will be recorded by note takers and on paper to allow for the analysis of data at a later date. Only the individuals named as investigators on this research project will have access to those notes. As a token of gratitude for participating in these workshops, you will receive a $50 honorarium for each workshop attended. Light refreshments and breaks will be provided.
Who do I contact for further information? Lead Investigator, Karyn West via email or phone 08 6304 2210
