Looking for research participants
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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.2% ... It is complicated
