Call for Research Participants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A research team at the University of Ottawa, led by PhD candidate Asia Akther<\/a>, is conducting a study on the everyday experiences of youth and their digital media use. The project explores how factors like discrimination and other environmental stressors may shape video game and social media use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are looking to connect with diverse youth aged 16\u201319, especially those from ethnically and gender\u2011diverse communities. These voices\u2014particularly racialized youth\u2014are often underrepresented in research, and their perspectives are essential for building a more accurate and inclusive understanding of digital life. Ensuring these experiences are heard helps challenge gaps in representation and supports more equitable research and policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eligible participants will receive $30 for their time. Click here to complete the survey<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project has been approved by the University of Ottawa Research Ethics Board. Contact<\/a> Asia <\/a>if you have any questions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
