Research Title: Addressing Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Disparities and Barriers among Adolescents and Young Adults with Disabilities

 

Being conducted by: Brandeis University; National Institutes of Health

 

Purpose of the Study

The research study seeks to examine the sexual and reproductive health needs and experiences of young people with disabilities. The study will help the researchers create a website for young people with disabilities that will teach them about taking care of their sexual and reproductive health.

 

Role of the Participants and Anticipated Length of the Study

Potential participants will be asked to complete a brief Zoom screening call (about 15 - 20 minutes) to determine their eligibility and complete the informed consent process.

 

Eligible participants will then be asked to do a Zoom call to talk about their experiences. The call will last up to one and a half hours (90 minutes). The interview questions are about

* what participants know about things like sex, birth control, pregnancy, and taking care of their body

* the things about sexual health they want to learn, and

* any things that make it difficult or easy for them to get sexual health services.

 

 

Proposed Participant Compensation

Yes, A $50 Amazon gift card. Alternatives (Etsy; Barnes and Noble) will be provided on request.
