Looking for research participants

Jessica from Newtown

Kia ora, I'm looking for people with advanced cancer to participate in two studies I'm running, funded by the Cancer Society.

They are both about end-of-life experiences of two different groups of people who have life-limiting cancer:

1. Those who have chosen not to have hospice services involved or those whose referral has been declined by hospice.

2. Those who are seeking assisted dying.

Given the COVID situation and the health status of the participants, we will be conducting the interviews online. This means participants can be based anywhere in NZ.

I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.

I have received ethical approval for each study from the Northern B Health and Disability Ethics Committee.

If you are able to share the study flyers with anyone you know who meets the study criteria, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for considering my request.

Ngā manaakitanga, all the best,

Jessica

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
