Participation
The Partnerships for Families Project does not provide any treatment. Families who are eligible to participate in the project will meet with our research staff for six confidential assessments. All research assessments will be done at the agency or at a family member’s home, depending on agency policies and the family’s preferences.
Assessments
All of the assessments are similar and take approximately 2 hours to complete. Our research staff will ask both you and your child standardized questions about you, your child, your family interactions, and the services you receive. At any time, if you have a question or feel uncomfortable, please tell the research staff.
Compensation
You and your child will each receive up to $180 for completing all six assessments:
- $20 each for completing the first and second assessments
- $30 each for completing the third and fourth assessments
- $40 each for completing the fifth and sixth assessments
Additional payment may also include: bonus coupons for keeping your first scheduled appointments and parking/transportation costs for follow-up assessments.
Withdrawing from the project
At anytime you can choose not to participate in the research program, however, we ask that you contact our offices and speak with one of our research staff directly so that we can be sure to honor your wishes.
