Thanks for your interest in participating in one of our focus groups about caregivers' relationships with their children, and the ways caregivers talk with their kids about substance use, specifically drinking alcohol and using cannabis. Please complete this form to sign up. Once you submit this form, Caroline Johnson, the study coordinator, will reach out to confirm your participation.
Focus groups will take place in-person at the Collaborative for Educational Services (CES) in downtown Northampton (97 Hawley Street). Parents and caregivers of 12-18 year olds who live in Hampshire County are eligible to participate in one of four possible focus groups, which will take place from 6-7:30pm on the following days:
-Tuesday, April 30
-Thursday, May 2
-Tuesday, May 7
-Thursday, May 9
Food and drink will be provided during focus group conversations, and at the end of the discussion, each participant will receive an $80 Visa gift card. Depending on need, we may offer free childcare during the focus groups; if that ends up being the case, we will let you know in advance!
