Research participants needed - Grandparenting your grandchildren

JCU are conducting research about grandparents’ experiences when caring for their grandchildren. We are interested in your role as grandparent, and your contributions to your grandchild's/ grandchildrens' development. We are inviting grandparents who take care of their grandchildren for any amount of time to tell us your experiences.

The study is being conducted by Dr Meegan Kilcullen and will contribute to a Bachelor of Psychology degree for Ms Tayla Toshach, Ms Kaitlyn Chew, Ms Bingya Yuan, Ms Gemma Hills, and Ms Ajshe Citaku at James Cook University.

If you agree to take part, you will be asked to complete a survey that will take approximately 15 minutes of your time. The survey can be accessed both online (link below) or by completing a paper copy.  The particular region we are considering is the Townsville region, but it is open to other areas of Queensland.

The survey is anonymous, and no identifying information will be used.  The results may be made public via an article being published, but any identifying information will be removed.

If you have any questions regarding the study please feel free to contact project supervisor Dr Meegan Kilcullen:
