Advocating research studies?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,

I'm sure opinions are very much divided on this topic, but since I have several friends in the academic/research world who study autism and often struggle to find participants for their research studies I often seek out research labs conducting studies so I can help out. I can imagine there are others here who would also enjoy helping out researchers and giving an 'insider's view'.

My question then- is there a thread for research studies that can be participated in, e.g. online surveys?

I've taken several in the last few weeks that ask for people to 'share' the link to their survey to get greater participant numbers- I'd like to be able to pass along the links to the WP community!

e.g.:

UJA Adult with ASD Survey: http://orca.kennedykrieger.org/index.php?sid=86954
Parents of children with autism: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AutismParentResearch
Parents of children with autism: http://sensorystudy.weebly.com/survey-choice.html

I haven't found a thread like that. I've looked too. I am myself an academic researcher recruiting Autistic people for my study on sexuality and citizenship. I can't post links yet, but if you click on my www button, it will take you to the study website.

I am sure your academic friends really appreciate your insights and support.
