Parenting is hard and important! It has many highs and lows, challenges and successes, but a lot of research about parents and parenting has not included all American families. That’s why we need YOUR help!
We are excited about this new opportunity for parents and caregivers with children between the ages of 5 and 15 years old! We are looking for a limited number of parents/caregivers with children between 5-15 years old to participate in the Daily Care Study.
The Daily Care study is being conducted to increase our understanding of how parents manage the day-to-day responsibility of taking care of a child between the ages of 5 to 15 years old. With this increased understanding, we hope to learn how to support parents, caregivers, and their children.
WHAT IS THE DAILY CARE STUDY?
The Daily Care Study was designed to learn how all American parents and caregivers deal with the highs and lows, successes and challenges of parenting in today’s world. The study has 3 parts:
- A baseline survey
- 14 days of brief daily surveys
- A 6-month follow up survey daily diary
Everything is done online and can be completed from a location of your choosing, using a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
WILL I BE PAID?
Participating parents/caregivers can earn up to $125 for their participation. They will also be entered in two (2) raffles to win up to $300.
AM I ELIGIBLE?
We are limiting study participation to 220 parents/caregivers that are:
- 18 years or older
- A parent/caregiver of a child between 5-15 years old
- Live in the same residence as the child between 5-15 years old
- Fluent in English
- A resident in the United States
- Have reliable access to the internet to access study surveys
It’s time we get more than one-sided stories! The stories, perspectives, and experiences of ALL parents and caregivers. Enrollment is first come, first serve.
