Proof Alliance Research Project to Develop Effective Programs for Biological Mothers/ Birthing Parents of Children With Confirmed or Possible FASD

 

Proof Alliance is partnering with Wilder Research to improve support programs for biological/birthing parents of children with FASD.  They hope to better understand barriers to accessing services, develop inclusive and stigma-free recruitment messaging, and identify types of supports preferred by this cohort of caregivers. This interview will take roughly an hour, and participants will select from a variety of $50 electronic gift cards from Wilder Research for their time. You do not need to be a previous Proof Alliance program participant to be interviewed- and you may live out of state. 

If you are interested in being interviewed or want more details about the project, please reach out to Mia Vang at miamoua [DOT] vang [AT] wilder [DOT] org.
