Fill out the form below so we can gauge interest! https://forms.gle/igKqjzRfgfAssPim7  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 [email protected] To participate, please click the link to access the online survey: <https://mun.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aVKJgykVjn7j2g6>  Katharine Dunbar Winsor and Michelle Ward have co-authored a brief landscape paper mapping FASD work in Atlantic Canada. You can read the paper here.
