My topic is ‘how does autism intersect with culture’. It focuses on how autism is perceived in different cultures. It also focuses on the challenges that support workers face while supporting culturally diverse families that are navigating an autism diagnosis.

I will be recruiting participants through email from the place where I completed a practicum, an internship and eventually worked at! If that fails, I will send or print my poster to try to get participants that way.

I appreciate any feedback! Thank you.

Please take a look at my recruitment tools for my research of Food Insecurity as experienced by adults with a disability. This research aims to explore the specific barriers people with disabilities face when navigating current food security systems. This important research will create a better understanding of food justice and equity for systemically vulnerable populations.

I will be recruiting participants through email and also by connecting to established networks in my community. I am also excited to use LinkedIn to further the diversity of respondents.

I would love to have your feedback, and look forward to sharing mine and get a better understanding of the research you are all working so hard on!

My thesis is that while virtual volunteering holds great potential, these programs are only successful when they are designed with accessibility and digital support in mind. I’m using one-on-one interviews as my main research tool to hear directly from older adults about their experiences, barriers, and ideas for improving virtual volunteering.

This topic is very meaningful to me and has shown me how important it is to create opportunities for seniors to stay engaged and feel valued.

We will be recruiting our participants through Email/Social Media, such as LinkedIn and other professional networks. We will also gather our Data through an online survey that will take about 10-15 minutes to complete.

We hope to actually get respondents kind of nervous. We'd appreciate any kind of feedback you'd have to give us for our tools!

Thank you.

We would appreciate any meaningful feedback on this recruitment tool.

Hello, my name is N’Qilah Dean, and I am a student in the Bachelor of  Social and

Community Development Program at Sheridan College, I am conducting a research project

about a community-driven project aimed at gathering perspectives on food insecurity. This 

project is called Our Table, Our Say as part of my capstone research project in the program. Your 

participation is completely voluntary, although I encourage you to consider participating in my 

study. Participation will involve answering only 13 quick survey questions online, which will 

take only 5-10 minutes. Anyone 18 years or older may participate; those under the age of 18 are 

ineligible. There are minimal risks involved in this research. If you have any questions about the 

project or what your participation involves, you can contact me, N’Qilah Dean by my email  

Deannq@sheridancollege.ca. Thank you for your consideration. If you are 

interested in participating, you can complete the survey online at

www.OurTableOurSay.com. This project has been approved by Professor Dr. Julie Dempsey and 

the course has received approval by the Sheridan Research Ethics Board.

I will be recruiting my participants through email/ social media, such as LinkedIn, as well as reaching out to the organization where I did my internship.

I will gather data through an online survey that will take approximately 15–20 minutes to complete. I hope to get the required respondents, though I am a bit nervous about this process.

I appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

For my research, I’m talking to people who live in multi-generational households — where older adults and younger family members share a home. I’d love to hear from seniors aged 60 and up and from family caregivers about what this experience is like.

It’s just a friendly conversation — about 30 minutes, either in person or over the phone — where you can share both the joys and the challenges of living together across generations.

Everything you share will stay confidential, and you’re free to skip any question or stop at any time.

By sharing your story, you’ll be helping others understand multi-generational living and contributing to research that could shape better supports and policies for families.

If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, please reach out to me at yusuffou@sheridancollege.ca or give me a call at (416) 825-5608.

Thank you so much — your voice really matters in this study.

I have uploaded an image of my survey recruitment poster.

Here is my interview guide for survey participants that would be interested in doing a case study interview - Interview Guide - Shelby Martindale 2025.docx

I look forward to your feedback!

Specifically, this study will examine the lived experiences of international students, identify key stressors, and understand what types of support systems could effectively enhance their well-being. 
A better understanding of these challenges is essential because it can inform institutional policies and programming aimed at supporting international students more effectively. 

A semi-structured online interview will be required of participants. I will be using a secure online platform (like Microsoft Teams), and the interview will last around 30 minutes.

Thanks, and looking forward to your responses.

Thanks, and looking forward to your responses.

The study explores how students perceive food insecurity and considers its effects on academic performance, mental health, and overall well-being. The guiding research question is: What are the perceptions of food insecurity among students at Sheridan College? This question helps us understand how food insecurity is experienced, the challenges it creates, and how it may influence both academic and social life.

While food insecurity among students is a growing concern across Canada, it is often overlooked. Previous studies suggest that it is linked to poor diet quality, higher stress levels, and increased mental health concerns, all of which can affect student success. However, little research has been done specifically within the Sheridan College community, making this project timely and relevant.

To explore this issue, we are using a quantitative survey approach to gather information directly from students. The insights gained will contribute to a clearer understanding of food insecurity on campus.

We appreciate your time and participation in this survey, as your input supports this important student-led research.

The purpose of the study is to explore self-care practices and stress management techniques used by mental health professionals as well as identify what resources are lacking to improve job satisfaction rate and reduce burnout. A better understanding of these practices is important because it can help provide insight into the well-being of professionals that work in the mental health field as well as suggest potential improvements that can support mental health professionals. 

Thank you for your feedback :)

Above is my poster for my project. The topic of discussion and research is on international students and their mental health as students in Ontario. This topic is extremely important to me as I realized just how hard-working international students are and they deserve some recognition and support with their mental health as they may face complications a bit differently than domestic students. The examination of this matter is not to compare experiences between domestic students and international students, but to understand them and their needs mentally.

I will need 6-10 participants for short survey followed by an interview in which we will explore more in depth about mental health and the services that support international students.

Your participation in this interview and survey are completely within your own comfort. If you do choose to participate it is greatly appreciated as it will help us collect data on what could improve and whether we can bring more awareness to mental health in relation to international students here in Ontario. Any further questions or suggestions you can find my email below.
