Recruiting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

We are hoping to talk with grandparents who are raising their grandchild(ren). Your feedback will help us design a future program focused on supporting these grandparents’ heart health while they care for their grandchild(ren). We are especially interested in your thoughts on how to make study materials clear and easy to understand.

Study details:
• Hear a brief presentation about our program to support heart health
(about 5-10 minutes)
• Participate in one in-person focus group with about 4 grandparents
(~90 minutes)
• Complete a short, one-time survey (about 2 minutes)
• Grandparents receive $45 for participation
