Research on SRE (Sex and Relationships education)

Hi

My name is Bianca and I am a 3rd year BSc Psychology student at University of Southampton. I have been working for hampshire Autistic Society for about 1 year as a support worker for teenagers and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I am very passionate about ASD and I have decided to dedicate my final year research project on this. My research proposal has been approved by the University ethics commitee and so it is regarding staff's attitudes on Sex and Relationship Education for teenagers and young people with ASD. 

I am currently recruiting participants and I would very much appreciate your participation. I can send you the questions in advance and you can have a look and then decide if it would be ok to participate.

It only takes about half an hour and, due to ethics reasons, you will not mention anybody's name. Also, all information will be kept confidential and presented anonymised.

Please let me know if you would like to take part, as I would be extrenely grateful of your precious time. If you have any questions or would like to take part please email me at [removed by moderator].

Thank you so much

Bianca

  • Its not just a problem on these fora: my local AS support group forwarded on a request for research participants from an undergraduate.

    I agreed to help but quickly found that the student, despite protestations of having a deep interest in AS people, knew nothing about our needs. Times, places and the duration and nature of the research were not made clear - things sure to cause stress to a person on the spectrum. I withdrew my offer to be involved.

    How to make people understand that we are not just research fodder and deserve respect?
