Invitation to Participate - Episodic Disabilities and Post-Secondary Education in Canada: A Pilot Study to Explore the Perspectives of Students and Disability Service Providers

February 11, 2016 -

As a student who attends a post-secondary education institution in Canada, you are receiving this invitation to participate in a survey about students in post-secondary education institutions with mental health or physical conditions that are episodic in nature and who may or may not have registered for learning and/or evaluation accommodations.

The survey you are being asked to complete is being conducted by a team of researchers from Dalhousie University, and the Canadian Working Group on HIV and Rehabilitation. We are interested in understanding the impact having an episodic mental health or physical condition has had on your life at your post-secondary education institution.

It will take approximately 30 minutes to complete the survey. You can choose to complete it online, on paper, or by phone if you are not able to use online or paper formats. You will be asked to provide some identifying information but we will not ask for nor will your name ever be revealed. Only the research team will have access to your identifying information.
