Des chercheurs de l'Université du Manitoba vous invitent à participer à une étude sur l'expérience des soignants d'enfants atteints de maladies génétiques rares. L'objectif de cette étude est de comprendre les expériences, les besoins et les préférences des parents/soignants d'enfants atteints de maladies génétiques rares lorsqu'ils interagissent avec des professionnels de la génétique au cours du parcours diagnostique. Nous voulons savoir où les soignants recherchent des informations et du soutien pendant et après le parcours diagnostique et quels sont les facteurs qui peuvent influencer ces préférences. Nous espérons que les résultats de l'étude nous permettront de mieux comprendre comment les professionnels de la génétique peuvent apporter un meilleur soutien aux soignants. Vous pouvez répondre à l'enquête en utilisant le lien ci-dessous si :

Nous vous remercions de votre attention! | Researchers at the University of Manitoba invite you to participate in a study on the experience of caregivers of children with rare genetic diseases. The goal of this study is to understand the experiences, needs, and preferences of parents/caregivers of children with rare genetic diseases when speaking to genetics professionals during the diagnostic journey. We want to learn about where caregivers seek information and support during and after the diagnostic journey and the factors that might influence these preferences. We hope the study results will help us understand how genetics healthcare providers can provide better support to caregivers. You are eligible to complete the survey if:
provide within 24 hours. Our main survey will require approximately 15-20 minutes of your time and is available to complete in English, French, and Simplified Chinese. If you would like to complete the survey in more than one sitting, you will have the option of using a ‘return code’ to save your responses and return to the same survey later. If you would like more information about this study, contact Vivien at truongv2@myumanitoba.ca. Thank you! |
A research group at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto is leading the development of two new reporting guidelines for pediatric clinical trials, SPIRIT/CONSORT-Children, to improve transparency in the reporting of pediatric clinical trials. They are looking for family caregivers (e.g., parents, guardians) and young people (ages 19-24) to complete a Delphi study starting January 2024. This group would be working alongside the research team in an advisory/consultation capacity, and not as research participants. |
Those who are interested can express their interest by filling out the following short survey by November 27, 2023: https://surveys.sickkids.ca/surveys/?s=HYKFWK34WJHCP9CP
Please let Ami (enrich.network@sickkids.ca) know if you have any questions.

PKU carriers may have unknown health & cognitive risks, which researchers are trying to better understand. If you are a PKU carrier, or have undergone genetic testing and know that you are NOT a PKU carrier, you are invited to participate in a brief survey https://uoguelph.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3vExYtbViF6gYn4
