Employment and Episodic Disability - Focus Group Participants Needed

Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) & The Société de recherche sociale appliquée /Social Research and Demonstration Corporation have commissioned a project to explore the employment experiences of people in Ontario who have disabilities and the capacity to work intermittently.

An important part of our research is a series of focus groups with people who have a disability and who experience irregular or intermittent employment. We are planning to hold focus groups in late November in Ottawa, Toronto and North Bay.

The focus groups themselves would last approximately two hours, and participants would receive a small honorarium ($30) in recognition of their time. As with all SRDC research, the focus groups will be conducted in accordance with the strictest requirements for ethical research practice, including protection of participants’ privacy and confidentiality.
