Community Member Looking For Assistance with Research Project
Feb 24th
The WNDG was contacted by an individual who is conducting research related to “What are the “rules” for dating, relationships, and sexuality as gay men?”. This research has been approved by the appropriate University of Guelph and University of Waterloo ethics procedures and I offered to pass along the information on the researcher’s behalf. Details below:
“We are looking for gay men to share their thoughts about the “rules” for dating, relationships and sexuality in a 1.5 to 2 hour focus group discussion. Focus groups of approximately eight gay men will be held on the University of Waterloo campus. Pizza and pop will be served. All participants will be entered into a draw for $100 Visa Gift!
For more information, and to participate in a focus group, email Dr. Robin Milhausen at rmilhaus@uoguelph.ca or call 824-4120 ext. 54397.
The information gathered from the focus groups shall be used in an Undergraduate University of Guelph Honour’s project. This project was reviewed, and received ethics clearance through the Research Ethics Board at the University of Guelph and the Office of Research Ethics at the University of Waterloo.”
