Would you like to help improve health research practices at BC Children’s Hospital?
This interactive workshop is aimed at parents and youth (ages 11-18) who have been or currently are hospital patients. The BC Children’s Hospital BioBank would like to hear your opinion on how children and their families would like to participate in medical research, specifically biobanking. The BC Children’s Hospital (BCCH) BioBank is a library of biological samples and medical information for health research, to which patients can voluntarily contribute.
A short presentation will be shown about different types of research, including biobanking, followed by a group discussion on topics such as: what are the benefits, risks and barriers to biobanking? How we can we make participation in biobanks easier for you? The input from this session will be used to recommend future biobank practices that work for you and are effective, respectful and inclusive.
A $25 gift card will be provided in recognition of your time. Parking, transit, child-care costs and other out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed. Refreshments will be provided.
When: Monday, January 22, 2018 | 5:00 – 7:30 p.m.
Where: BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute | 950 West 28th Avenue, Vancouver
