Research Study On Supportive Healthcare Decision Making for Diverse Populations

Researchers at the University of British Columbia are interested in talking to patients and/or their family members from diverse economic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds about their views on making important and/or difficult healthcare decisions.

You may be eligible to take part in the study if you are an adult who has a physical disability and/or chronic health condition and have engaged in complex decision-making about your own healthcare, or has been a surrogate decision maker on behalf of a loved one.

The study will involve one 45-60 minute (longer if interpreters are used) in-person interview at a time and location that is convenient for you. You will receive a $15 gift card in appreciation of your time and participation.

The research study is funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR), and has received approval from UBC’s Behavioural Research Ethics Board.
