Recruiting Ohio Families to Share Their COVID-19 Experiences

Message from Cincinnati Children’s – Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics

I am writing to you to ask for your help in recruiting families of children 2 to 6 years of age who have developmental delays/disabilities and who would be willing to share their experiences with COVID-19/stay at home orders.

In the past, EI/ECSE and healthcare providers have shared their perspectives and experiences with the TOTS team (Tiered Online Training and Support, www.totsproject.org) to help us understand their experiences with COVID-19.

In phase 2 of these interviews, we want to acknowledge the extraordinary circumstances the families we serve may be experiencing because of the global pandemic, COVID-19. We know many families have had to pivot and adapt in many ways. We would like to invite families to share their perspectives in a virtual interview.

If you know a caregiver that may be interested, we ask that you forward this email to them or respond to this email yourself with their contact information.

We would like to ask some questions about their experience during this difficult time to learn how each family has been impacted.

This interview would last about 45 minutes to an hour and would be recorded. This interview will be de-identified and used for research purposes as we hear from a variety of professional and parent stakeholders about their perspectives and experiences regarding the effects of COVID-19 and stay at home orders. This project has been IRB approved (through the University of Oregon). CCHMC is a partner on this project.

Each Caregiver would receive a $70 Amazon gift card for their time.

If you are interested in participating or know of interested families, please email Megan Jones, jonesm@cbirt.org, for a virtual meeting.
