What are the benefits of participating in this study? The purpose of the study is to get feedback on a short questionnaire with two questions, which is intended to be completed by caregivers of premature babies with lung- and breathing-related problems as a part of a future study. The goal of this study is to get your feedback on whether the questions are clear and easy to interpret, understand, and answer.
Are there any risks to participating in this study? Some of the questions may make you feel uncomfortable. You can skip any question you would rather not answer. During the study, you will be asked to think about things that may have been traumatic experiences. This may lead to what is called secondary trauma. You can ask for help to cope with these feelings. You can leave the study at any time.
How long will it take? The study will involve a telephone interview (with the option of connecting remotely using the WebEx application), with questions asking about your feedback on the short questionnaire. The interview will last approximately 30 minutes (up to 45 minutes).
Will I be paid to participate? Eligible participants will be paid $75 in the form of a Visa gift card after completing the telephone interview. Gift cards will be shipped to participants within two weeks of interview completion.
