Recruiting participants for FASD research in Atlantic Canada

7/28/2022

0 Comments

 
As the project assistant with fasdNL, I am inviting you to participate in a voluntary, 15-minute anonymous online survey as part of an Atlantic Canada FASD Needs Assessment (approved by Memorial University’s Interdisciplinary Committee on Ethics in Human Research).

You are also invited to participate in a voluntary 
30-minute to 1-hour long interview or focus group. 

This research is being conducted by Dr. Adrienne Peters (Sociology, MUNL) and Katharine Dunbar Winsor (fasdNL) to collect information from individuals impacted by FASD in Atlantic Canada, and examine the observed and perceived service/support needs for FASD throughout the region.

You will be asked questions about your personal and/or professional connection(s) to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and the impact of FASD on your life/work.
Your participation in the survey is not a requirement of fasdNL.

To participate in an interview or focus group or if you have any questions, please email our project assistant at fasdnlassistant@gmail.com 

To participate, please click the link to access the online survey:

FASD Prevention in Atlantic Canada: Increasing dialogue, increasing support

2/10/2022

0 Comments

 
Did you hear? Our social media FASD prevention and awareness campaign is now launched! It's the first of its kind in Atlantic Canada.

fasdNL has developed a FASD prevention and awareness campaign in an effort to increase support and increase dialogue surrounding individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

Our Atlantic-wide campaign addresses FASD prevention and awareness with an approach that is strength-based and supported by evidence. We at fasdNL recognize the stigma that is attached to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. A goal of this campaign is to address the stigma associated with FASD by promoting public awareness and by delivering accurate and consistent information along with re-framing the issue to include partners, friends, and family members. In doing so, we aim to highlight the ways we can all support healthy pregnancies rather than placing the burden on women alone.


fasdNL is leading a three-year FASD prevention, awareness, and training collaborative action project in Atlantic Canada. You can participate by sharing our social media (@fasdNL) campaign images on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
