If you would like a copy of your Participant Information and Consent Form, please contact: Amanda Niciak, Family Planning NSW, 328-336 Liverpool Rd, Ashfield NSW 2131 Australia, 02 8752 4302, AmandaN@fpnsw.org.au
2. What does participation involve?
As disability support workers you play a critical role in supporting people with intellectual disability on a day to day basis. One of the most significant ways you can perform this role is to promote the importance of preventative health care and provide opportunities for the people you support to access preventative health services.
Family Planning NSW would like to ask you to complete an evaluation of the learning program you have recently completed to identify if the online learning program met the learning objectives. Family Planning NSW would also like to contact you (via email) in three months to ask you another set of questions to identify if this learning program had an impact on the cervical, breast and bowel cancer screening rates of people with intellectual disability you support.
3. Do I have to take part in this project?
Your participation in this evaluation is voluntary. You can choose not to participate or to stop at any time without giving any reason and without any consequences. Your decision to participate or not will not affect your relationship with the staff at Family Planning NSW or anyone else involved in the project now or in the future. If you decide to take part in the project and then change your mind later, you are free to withdraw at any time.
4. What are the possible benefits of taking part?
You will receive no personal benefits from completing the evaluation forms. However, your feedback and input will be invaluable as it will contribute to improving the learning experiences for other disability support workers and supporting people with intellectual disability to access cancer screening.
