Subject: Share your thoughts about accessing healthcare procedures
Researchers from Flinders University are doing a research project to help make having healthcare procedures better for people with intellectual disability.
An Easy Read information sheet is available below.
Who can take part?
Adults (18 years or older) with an intellectual disability who:
- have had a blood test, vaccination or medical imaging
or
- have been asked to get one but have been unable to.
What’s involved?
- An interview for 20 to 40 minutes
or
- If this is too long, we can take breaks between interviews. This might mean you talk to us 2 times for 15 minutes.
It can happen:
- In person
or
- Online using Microsoft Teams
or
- On the phone
If you have had a medical procedure, you can talk about:
- What was good or bad about the procedure
- How could it be better
If you have been unable to have a procedure, you can talk about:
- What made it difficult
- What could people do to make it better
What else you should know?
- You will receive a $50 gift card for your time
- Taking part is your choice. You can say no.
- What you say will be kept private.
