Researchers at Pitt are looking for caregivers of those with spina bifida, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or cerebral palsy to participate in a research study. Caregivers will take part in group discussions and provide feedback on smartphone apps designed to support individuals with chronic conditions. Compensation provided.
What you’ll do
Participants will take part in interviews and group discussions for one session, which will be scheduled at locations and times that are convenient for you. These meetings will last about one hour. Some participants may also be asked to try the new apps on smartphones and give feedback, which will require additional sessions and visits. These visits may take place at our offices, at the clinic where patients are seen, or at another location convenient to participants (such as their home). Each visit will last approximately 30-60 minutes. Smartphones may be loaned for use during the duration of the study and will be collected at the end of the study.
