Thank you for coming to the survey page.

If you are over 18 and a mom who has accessed ADHD resources for yourself, then you might want to participate in this survey.

The results will be used to help moms like you in the future.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUDY
This long chunk of text the technical information required to be included before the survey can start. I apologize - but science wants to make sure that we don't skip any important steps.

TITLE OF STUDY

What works? Asking Mothers who have accessed ADHD resources what interventions they find effective.

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR

Kristine Aanderson/California Southern University, School of Behavioral Sciences/Edmonton, AB, Canada/ Kristine.Aanderson@my.calsouthern.edu

PURPOSE OF STUDY

You are being asked to take part in a research study. Before you decide to participate in this study, it is important that you understand why the research is being done and what it will involve. Please read the following information carefully. Please ask the researcher if there is anything that is not clear or if you need more information.

The purpose of this study is to identify the ADHD resources that individuals who identify as mothers who have accessed ADHD resources report to be helpful to them in parenting.

STUDY PROCEDURES

Participants will complete the online survey that consists of a number of questions where the participant will indicate on a scale of 1-7 if they have found the resource in the question to be helpful. If they have not used the resource, each question can be left blank. Once all the questions have been completed, the participant will submit their responses and their participation in the research will be complete. It is estimated that the online survey will take 15-30 minutes to complete and the participants will be free to leave any question blank if they are not comfortable answering.

RISKS

Possible risks of this study include, but are not limited to:

- Confidentiality of information: No personal or identifying information will be collected during this study, however there is a possible risk that individuals with access (either visual access or electronic) may observe a participant’s responses as they are completing the survey. To mitigate this risk, participants are encouraged to complete the survey in private on a personal, password protected electronic device.

- Psychological/emotional state: completing the survey may bring up feelings of fear, stress, worry, doubt, confusion, activating of past negative experience or guilt. This can either be from the questions, contemplating responses, or stressors that may be present while participants are completing the survey. The questions are designed to minimize the risk of this occurring to participants. To mitigate this risk, participants are encouraged to only complete the study if they are feeling psychologically/emotionally able to without causing undue negative feelings. If these feelings arise, participants are able to withdraw their participation at any time with no repercussions from the research team.

- Fatigue: Participants may experience feelings of mental, physical, or emotional fatigue during or after the completion of the survey. To mitigate this risk, the research questions are kept to the minimum required in order to provide data for the research questions and participants are encouraged to only complete the survey when they feel rested.
BENEFITS

Potential benefits of participating in this study include but are not limited to:

- Learning new tools: The questions in this survey have been selected based on previous research in the field of ADHD showing that these interventions may be beneficial. There is a potential that participants may learn of new ADHD resources they were not aware of and be able to investigate them in the future.

- Normalizing experience: Participation in this survey may help to normalize the need for resources and support for mothers who have accessed ADHD resources, thus reducing the stigma associated with investigating resources.

- Body of knowledge: There is currently a gap in the body of research into mothers with ADHD regarding what resources mothers who have accessed ADHD resources find to be helpful. By participating in this study, participants may help to increase the body of knowledge in this area.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Your responses to this online survey will be anonymous. Please do not write any identifying information on your survey. Every effort will be made by the researcher to preserve your confidentiality including the following:

· Assigning numbers to completed surveys to protect participant confidentiality

· All responses to the surveys will remain on a secure online server or on a password-protected laptop of the researcher for seven years. At the end of that period, all survey responses will be destroyed.

Participant data will be kept confidential except in cases where the researcher is legally obligated to report specific incidents. These incidents include, but may not be limited to, incidents of abuse and suicide risk.
