Enroll in the
ETSU
We Care Caregiver Study!
Attention:
ETSU Employees and Students Assisting Adults Age 50 or Older
If you are an ETSU employee or student and you provide any level of support for an adult 50 years or older – please read on.
A team of researchers from ETSU is conducting the We Care Caregiver Study to learn more about your caregiving experience. If you choose to be in the study, you will complete two surveys. Each survey will take about 15 minutes to complete and will be completed online. We will collect your email address so that we can send you the second survey in about eight weeks. Your email will only be used for this research study and will not be shared outside the research team.
Completing each survey will give you an opportunity to be entered into a drawing for one of twenty giftbags containing ETSU swag valued at $20.
