Focus Group Participants Needed - HRM

Project Title:

Pharmacist’s services for patients with mental illness: a descriptive survey of patient experiences and preferences.

Researchers at Capital Health will be holding a focus group during the week of February 4th to 8th. The date, time, and location will be selected to suit those who volunteer to participate. This one time focus group will take 90 minutes to complete.

We are looking for 6-8 people to participate.

The aim of the focus group is to get feedback on a short survey about pharmacy services for people with mental illnesses.

People who are 19 years of age or older and who have taken or take a medication for a mental illness may participate in the focus group.

If you are interested or would like to receive more information, please contact: Dr. David Gardner at 473-4955.

This project (CDHA-RS/2007-313) has received research ethics approval by the Capital Health Research Ethics Board.

Focus Group: Mental Health Mobile Crisis Team (MHMCT) Services

Over the past year, have you used any of the crisis services of the Mental Health Mobile Crisis Team (MHMCT) for yourself or someone you know? If so, you may be interested in taking part in a focus group!

The MHMCT would like to know whether or not their new integrated service is meeting the needs of individuals living with mental illness and their family members. They will be bringing together groups of 8-10 people to talk about experiences with the Mental Health Mobile Crisis Team. If you participate, you will be given $25 as compensation for your time.

If you have any questions, or if you wish to participate, please contact the Dalhousie University Research Coordinator at (902) 473-7458. Space is limited.
