Playing it Safe

We are a research team at Simon Fraser University working on a study investigating outdoor play and risky play in school-aged children, and we are actively searching for participants for our current study.

We are particularly interested in how caregivers of children with and without anxiety/ADHD understand and experience their children's play. To learn more about this, we hope to recruit caregivers of children aged 5 to 12 years old to complete an approximately 45-minute online survey.

If you decide to participate, you will be asked basic questions about you, your background, mental health symptoms that you or your child may experience, perceptions of risk-taking and child safety, and recent play experiences. At the end of the survey, you will be eligible to receive $15 or be entered in a raffle (your decision which!). You must be a resident of Canada to participate, but the research can be completed entirely online.

If you would like to participate, you can see if you are eligible at https://sfufas.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bPiXlZTbxFKfpt4. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask or reach out to us at [email protected] Thank you so much for your help and support!
