A three year research initiative to gather the diverse perspectives, ideas and values of knowledge holders to reach a consensus on the priorities and solutions needed to best serve people in BC experiencing the intersections of acquired brain injury (ABI), metal health and addictions.

I am a student in the Fear & Anxiety Research Lab at Vancouver Island University. I am conducting an honours research study on the psychological impact of concussion experiences. I am reaching out to relevant associations in Canada to obtain a sample of participants that represent the country as a whole and am hoping that I could advertise the study on your website. I have attached the recruitment script for your viewing. A recruitment poster has also been attached that can be uploaded. Your assistance in recruitment would be much appreciated. If you have any questions about the research, please feel free to ask.

This study has been approved by Vancouver Island University’s Research Ethics Board (File Number: 103751).

Sincerely,

Maeve Slattery
