Siblings Snapshot Project!

You’re invited! Researchers from the Telethon Kids Institute are conducting research which explores the unique bond between siblings using photography. They are looking for research advisors AND research participants to be involved in their study.

Research advisors give advice and feedback on study materials (information sheets, consent forms, interview questions), and can be:

  • Siblings with or without Down syndrome aged 6-29 years, or
  • Parents of siblings aged 6-29 years where one has Down syndrome

Research participants who are sibling pairs aged 6-29 years (where one sibling has Down syndrome) are also needed. Participation involves using your phone to take photos of things which capture your relationship with your sibling. You will then participate in an interview with your sibling to discuss the photos you have taken.
 
Participation as a research advisor or research participant will take approximately 3 hours of total commitment, and you will be paid for your time. 
 
To register your interest as a research advisor, research participant or both, visit The Sibling Snapshot Project (telethonkids.org.au/projects/siblings/sibling-snapshot-project/), or email siblings@telethonkids.org.au to find out more.  

This research has ethical approval from UWA (2023/ET000565).
